Wattpad stories: 'Im in college'-> goes to a class twice throughout the entire story 'Im in highschool, and have straight A's'-> goes to school once and never did an ounce of hw or studying 'I need a job. I got a job'->never goes to said job, gets into 65973 accidents and misses 78397 years of work, yet still has said job. WTF
Exactly! They never study, and if they have a job which is probably in a cafe or a restaurant, the boss lets them have days off bc they Like her or something
Someone on Wattpad is trying to get this video reported. She literally went on the author’s page and told them bout this video and I was dead cuz it’s just sooo petty
Casey Aonso ikr! It’s crazy. I’ll send you the screen shots on ig but it’ll different account. The author has not replied and seems that she does not reply to ppl on her page but i don’t think that it will stop the other girl from trying to report this. Luckily someone told the girl that she can not do report it but I will still show them to you
Charlize Findlay yeah superrrrr petty for an author who puts their blood sweat and tears into their work to have some little shit go on UA-cam and tear it apart in the nastiest most disrespectful way possible. 🙄🙄🙄
Incapable of originality but im trying . IKR . I once read a vey good and original book on Wattpad, but it had like, 300 views, good writers out there need recognition (without using a hot cover)
I want to write a wattpad book, but wattpad writers have such a bad reputation. My genre of books is fantasy more than anything, a bit of romance but not the wattpad romance XD
I remember trying to read this book a long time ago on wattpad and I left a comment about how I was bored of reading books where the main character is a completely inexperienced virgin and the love interest is an extremely experienced 'player' as I find it cliche and unrealistic and I got like 500 replies from all these girls attacking me for it lmao
Rebecca Blackwood Excuse me but I use wattpad, I’m an author on wattpad, and have a lot of books in my library, but I absolutely hate the inexperienced female lead and the experienced player, not all wattpad users read sh*t.
Omg it's always the rich , sexy guy falling for the poor girl , what happened to the normal guy? Plus living with a guy she barely knew existed , this girl never watched crime documentaries.
In one of my currents, the main girl is on the rich side and the main guy isn't poor. He's just normal. Already sounds cliche lol but I made him normal specifically because I just didn't want to write some sappy cliche
YOHANA I had the same thought. If she went home with a different guy, this book would have been a horror/crime story instead of just being horrifyingly bad
Dark triumph, it takes please in the 15th century, but the main character falls in love with something along the lines of “an ugly brute of a man” for his personality, its a sequel rho
Me: hi h- Wattpad Writer: I threw my hair up in a messy bun but i wasn't like other girls I threw on my favorite mcr t-shirt our tongues battled for dominance there was only one bed our orbs met briefly he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear he smelled like coffee and cigarettes Edit: oh my gosh I literally just looked back at this (2020) all these responses are killing me lol also thank you bunches for all the likes 💕
bad books: projected insecurities, unfulfilled fantasies and compensation for them good books: actual care for the craft and the desire to tell a good story
I'd like to classify myself as the second one. Romance novels like Chasing Red often DO NOT have a second or tercery plot. When the only plot is to get the characters together--there's no real purpose. You could shorten the book to three chapters instead of 40 or 100 chapters. In romance novels there's always that artificial drama created by the author. Cliches and overused tropes also accompany it.
I wrote 4 unfinished books on Wattpad. One was about 2 mermaid sisters, and their adventures. The second book was about my exaggerated life in my African family. The 3rd one is a crackhead take on vampires and werewolves. The 4th is about rich people who live in Rosewood gated community (I forgot the name of the community). Anyway, all of these stories have little romance. The first 3 ones were mostly about life, and silly adventures and romance is sprinkled in between. The 4th one is meant to be dark, and focus on the evil stuff the people in that community did, and how they use poor people to do their bidding, and the police investigating them no romance whatsoever. Nobody read those stories, so they ended up in the discontinued pile.
Lmao 😂 have you read White Stag then? (Pandean, I think it's her username)It's actually pretty good, but I'm not sure if people actually like it. Oh well. Anna Todd's stories are just published because of it's popularity, same with other books.
So if I were to tell you that I wrote a historical fiction book (that I thought was good because I spent time on it) would it mean that it is bad considering that it was on Wattpad? Believe me Wattpad is mostly hot garbage, like the UA-cam trending page. The gems are hard to find and mostly ignored and honestly Wattpad has an issue of publishing books that are exactly that smut-filled, cliche filled novels that read like terrible fanworks. Don't get me wrong like Ms. Aonso books like 'Chasing Red' infuriates me. You give authors a bad rep when you write TERRIBLE books.
M G Anyone can write bad shit. People have to bad write shit before they can begin to write good quality shit. It doesn’t really matter what platform it ends up on. You can have poorly made movies, books, poems, and so on. And they can be bad for a lot of different reasons. Maybe they’re cheap or didn’t have enough time, maybe they were made in one draft, maybe the writer didn’t understand the subject matter well enough and ended up sending a really bad message. But that’s what we all have to go through. In the end, it will only make you better, either by learning what not to do or learning what you like and dislike. Another thing is that no piece of art will connect with everyone the same way. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are a lot like lightening in a bottle. There isn’t much out there with quite the same scope. But just because you’re not making the next Harry Potter, doesn’t mean there won’t be people out there who don’t enjoy your book.
Yes, very true. Male on female rape isn’t taken seriously enough. But female on male rape, to some people it’s not real. “A girl can’t rape a guy” I’m just like....it scares me that you think that way.
Macie Hinds Honestly, it’s scary in general how a lot of people refuse to believe that women can be predators too. Having most people not believe in actual female victims of harassment, rape, abuse, etc is already bad enough. But male victims of harassment, rape, abuse, etc? Most people will straight up tell them to “man up” or “deal with it”.
The Biggest flaw here was how easily the girl ditched him and didn't believe him when the other girl practically forced herself on him. If the roles were reversed it would have been "a toxic relationship" obviously
In reply to this, ‘rape’ is almost always specifically defined by sexual penetration and impregnation of the VICTIM. I know that people are going to hate me, and I'm sorry . . . I'm not that sorry, I don't care because I'm right. I know it's just my opinion, but I'm right. Also, I'm a girl. Thank you for NOT asking.
Every cliche' book in wattpad has that oossesive bad boy aspect. But there are good wattpad books out there. Just be carefull not to read something with bad boys in it. They are the worst
That was the beginning of my wattpad stage in life. Now even if I see the title or summary with bad boy or good girl i internally roll my eyes and sigh "Ughh not again."
I know right! It’s hard to find a Wattpad gem. I hate the conventionally pretty girl who’s a nerd but super perfect and some how ends up with a bad boy that’s super depressed yet deep at the same time trope. I’ve read 400, yea 400 teen fiction/romance and cringe AT EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!! AND THE PROBLEM IS I STILL FUCKIN READ THEM BECAUSE I LOVE YELLING AT THEM AND COMMENTING HOW THEY ARE SO HORRIBLE!!! I have a problem.
I honestly love wattpad and I often get amused by people hating on it cuz of the multiple cliche and trendy crap all over it 😂 I don't blame them, I of course still see those kinds of books but it's actually easy for me to ignore them since I read fantasy and supernatural books and I always get recommendations to those kinds of books. Definitely not perfect and there are some that makes me "wtf, how did this one get to the Watty's!?!?" But still better than those fanfics and badboy shiz u see often on Wattpad. And more often than not, it makes u appreciate the young writers honing their skills on this free site and produce something beautiful, as imperfect as they may be in the publishing world, as they slowly but surely improve in the process with their love for writing.
I use Wattpad both for writing and reading, and while there is a ton of absolute garbage on there, every once in a while, you find something that's actually good. It's kind of fun, searching for those Holy Grails of Wattpad books...I mean, if you have the time to sift through all the shit. It does make those good stories much easier to appreciate, though!
PeanutButterZombie00 it’s the same thing like on the game, Episode. Some stories there are SOOOO bad that I immediately stop reading. Actually good stories (writing is amazing, great detail!!) are: Falling For Sin, Us at Midnight, A Poisonous Rose, and Love, Julien. :)
I've gotten this book recommended to me like 10000 times, and I've avoided because of the description it until a few weeks ago when I gave it a chance. It was horrid, and unoriginal, and I stopped a few lines into the 1st chapter. The bad boys in Wattpad stories are so fucking abusive, yet people root for him. I rooted for the nice guy who treats her like she's not an object and I get called a hater 😑😑😑😑
@@waddle623 Oh I read the first chapter of Perfect Illusion but dropped it cause it just wasn't for me. I got 15 chapters into Chasing Red before I gave it up cause it was boring.
What university cares about students passing notes? In my experience, most professors have the attitude of "You're not paying attention? Fine, it's your grades on the line."
Jennifer Park Eh, it depends on the teacher. If you show up after a certain amount of time, they’ll count it as an absence, but no one’s going to care if you’re 5 minutes late. Some of them will even eschew the absence if you don’t make a habit of it and you have a good explanation.
aacsmiles There are professors who openly grill people who are 5mins late (my 1st English professor would grill anyone who was 1min late so she wasn't well liked) & ones who will grill people who leave 5mins early. It depends on the professor, but most don't care. That's why ratemyprofessor.com is super helpful, so you can choose professors with good reviews if you're lucky 😊
my university didn't really care. you could show up or not, show up late or on time, use your phone during class, etc. and literally no teacher i had cared about whether i did this. at school it was a thing but university was way more chill about that
Not all of them. Please don't be disrespectful assuming every single wattpad writer is like this, everyone has there own style of writing, most just decide to copy others ways of it thinking it'll get them more followers on wattpad. Kinda pisses me off when people shit on wattpad writers, some write for themselves rather than others.
I mean. I could easily see that happening. Lol. I put myself thru college. Lived with a BF. Broke up... yeah... easily see that happenjng. Especially if you happened to go to college far from home and we’re putting yourself they college.
Theres actually a major issue with this at a university in California, a ton of their students can’t afford housing around the university and theres no room in the dorms so they live in their cars and shower at the schools gym
Honestly, wattpad has some REALLY good books they’re just painfully hard to find in all the other shlt which there is ALOT of, but there is still some (very few unfortunately) great books.
L.M.F Nightshade Storm and Silence by RobThier, Celeste Academy series by mylovelywriter, death is my bff(rewritten) by katrocks247 these are some of my favs:)
And also what the hell is with ppls obsession with lacey sht. Its uncomfortable. But every gril in these things just happens to be wearing the sexiest underwear everytime.
Idk I only wear ace underwear. I think that’s one that truly is just personally preference and isn’t a Wattpad thing. Lace looks good on me and makes me feel good. Plus men love it🤷🏻♀️
Do these authors just use us to self impose their own fantasies and desires upon us? Because year, after year, after YEAR these types of books come out. The girl is never a NORMAL girl, like, you know, the REST of us. She has to be gorgeous and sexy, and get the most hunkiest of hunks who just want to play Dad (Dad, not Daddy) to her throughout the entire novel. The situations these authors put them in, the environment, SOUNDS like a fantasy. Which is fine if we were dealing with fantasy, but these are contemporary novels, with contemporary 'type' characters, and having them re-enact a 80's montage is not contemporary. Do they think we're stupid? Or that we are so pathetic that we want to see an author pretend like she's a pretty, young, sought after young lady, with no other discernable traits, other than being young, hot and sought after? Do they think we will not notice the lack of plot? These are serious questions. As a writer, you have to bring more than your own personal 'What if I was a'.
Exactly. I hate when authors think that readers has no mind of their own. Some authors think that readers just "read" and can't say anything back. If a reader said something back about how bad their book is, they get all mad and told us to "not read it". Then, why did you published it for readers to read your work? Might as well keep it to the author-self.
"His ice blue eyes glittered in the dimlight" ... WhAt ArE yOu TaLkInG aBoUt?!! (This made me laugh lol. I LEGIT read one chapter of this book and got bored stiff. Sorry you had to read that 😂)
I write and RARELY read on Wattpad. It’s hard for me even comprehend how some stories get so many reads. I always say it’s like the ocean: trash is on top and the treasure sinks to the bottom. I actually sit down and take my time to plot and write my first drafts (which is all I post on there) but a crappy romance story that has the most toxic relationships can be promoted by Wattpad and be published. It’s terrible for people like me who actually try to write because we barely end any attention on there.
I’m exactly the same. I write all the time but barely read because I struggle to find something different from bad boy cliches which just promote toxic relationships 🙃
What i realized during my book club (yes, book club its amazing) this girl said something that really opened my eyes. Ok so usually when there's a "love triangle" its 2 girls and 1 boy or 2 boys and 1 girl. How is it a love triangle if there is no triangle? Boy likes girl other boy likes girl. It's not a triangle unless one of the boys like each other. (That would actually be interesting) It's just a acute angle. "Love triangle' is so misleading but tbh i didn't even know until she pointed it out.(Sorry for my long explanation just learned some new information and wanted to share)
I’m actually writing a story where the main character is in love with his best friend. But his best friend is a prince who is destined to become the future king and the MC is just a poor kid who lives in the servants quarters. He knows that as they grow older their lives will separate them, so he decides to train to become the kings bodyguard so that way he can always be by his side. The MC spends the next 11 years training. After a few years, there is a coronation ceremony and the prince is crowned King. Following tradition, the greatest fighters in the land gather and fight each other. The strongest man/ woman becomes the Kings bodyguard. He enters the tournament under a guise and wins the last fight by outsmarting his competitor. (His opponent is a dual wielding prodigy and is also his childhood bully. He uses his hubris against him and taunts him, saying he couldn’t possibly beat him with one sword. They fight and the MC wins). He becomes the Kings Bodyguard but shortly after, following tradition of course, the new King is paired with a noble woman and they are married. The king loves the MC but not in the same way and the MC loves him, the new queen loves her husband but is jealous of the bond the two share and feels she can never form a bond that strong with the King. It’s quite sad for everyone involved because they can all never have with they really want but try to do their best at respecting the others wishes and keeping the ones they love happy.
@@kayhaych05 It still wouldn't be a love triangle unless the queen loves the bodyguard/MC. So it would be MC -> King -> Queen -> MC. Boom a true love triangle lol
YESS IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS. Growing up when I would think of love triangles I’d always think of them as “person A loves person B, person B loves person C, person C loves person A” and I when I heard about these stories with “love triangles” like Hunger Games I just never understood why they were marketed as such because I grew up with the other definition. I will say if you want to read a story (well it’s a play but still) that I think does the idea in a really interesting manner you should read Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. In the triangle there’s 2 girls and 1 guy but what’s interesting about it is that 1 of the girls is disguised as a guy and because of this the other girl falls in love with her, thinking that she’s a guy. So, check it out if you’re curious, I really wish more stories with love triangles were written this way!
after i finished it i was like “...where’s the rest?” i heard so much praise for it and i couldn’t figure out why bc it was sooo boring and poorly written and i was considering reading it again to find what i was missing but now ik i’m not the only one lmao🙃
I can somewhat understand why the author had her at a club even though she was homeless but what confuses me is that drinks at clubs are usually expensive, especially when the club knows they have a consistent college or university crowd. So why was Veronica drinking so much expensive alcohol that she was drunk? And why was she wearing a club dress if she was homeless? (Also I’m so sorry that you were homeless for a bit, I hope all is better for you now)
HA! I read this on Wattpad like last year. I didn't know it was published as a book. lol. But this story is still on Wattpad I think. Why would anyone buy this? LOL
I don't understand why good books on Wattpad with great grammar barley gets any reads but trashy Wattpad books with terrible grammar get over a million reads (btw I love Wattpad and am writing my own story, but I have to admit, the romance stories are really trashy)
I haven't published it yet. I barley have any time because of school. But it is a fantasy series with action, but once I finish writing the first book, I will publish it. Thank you for asking!
Nahiyan Rahman Me too. I tried to make it more relatable and realistic to the reader as possible. Not the character who is sexual and all dumb. The character at least could have Ing some brain or thought or could make some decision.
I feel like the people who write these books were either homeschooled, were still in middle school, or went to private school. I know because I low key used to write like this when I was in private school, and didn’t wake up until I went to an actual high school. I think it’s probably because all they have to base the book off of is the other crappy books written like this.
Homeschooled kids in middle school. I was homeschooled for middle school and I’m homeschooled still but in highschool. The homeschoolers I know now are amazing writers but in middle school, that’s a whole different story
Lol. Wattpad literally shoves this book on our faces every time we open the app. I tried reading it but couldn't get past the first page so left it and I'm glad I did.
this is why I don't like it when writers from Wattpad go publishing their stuff only because it's popular on the website, there's a huge difference between writing as a hobby for people who can read it for free and being a professional author whose books are paid for with hard-earned money, no offense to Wattpad, I read tons of books on it and it was one of the main reasons I started reading in English a story from start to end, but it can be so predictable most of the time and most of what's there is so not fit for publishing
eman AMEN 👏🏻👏🏻 its predictable and BORING. Most of the gems on their are so hard to find... I literally have given up on Wattpad ... I find better noob writers on fanfiction lmao
I was gonna say "this is the type of shit 14 y/o would've written" but looking back I can't even remotely be that hard on myself. 14 y/o me was writing Shakespearean masterpieces compared to this. 12 y/o me though.....that's where it's at. The fact that this book was probably written by someone in their late teens/early adulthood makes me want to leave the planet
Casey Aonso Exactly!! I feel like this is the book version of those "millennial-friendly" ads that use memes to seem relatable, and it was secretly written by a group of 70 year old business executives who think This Is What Yungins Do Now, because I can't imagine how a real 20-something thought this was realistic at all
13 here and I absolutely HATE those cliche trope books on wattpad. There are a few good written YA on wattpad however you have to search REALLY deep. If you want to find good stories on wattpad, the fantasy and horror section is where its at. There are really good books there.
Casey Aonso i’m pretty sure it was because my friends and i were calling her out for romanticizing abuse/terrible behavior and refusing to acknowledge that the majority of her readers were like 12 and therefore super impressionable lol
no one: wattpad author: as he *cArEssEs* my long brown hair, he says, "I've nEveR met a girl like yOu" he takes off my ACDC tshirt "I sEe" he says in his *raspy* but soft voice. hesitatingly, I say to him, "I'm not ready" "oh you're innocent but *pReCiOuS* aren't you" PS. I hate the word panties too!! it's such a weird word like why does it exist
It really is but I still love it. it's my guilty pleasure. I am wattpad trash and I embrace it. I also love Caleb. He is my baby and I don't care what anyone says.
OMG when you started describing the plot I was like wait a minute this sounds familiar I read it on wattpad back in the days bc it kept getting recommended to me and since than I’ve been making fun of it to everyone who wants to hear ahhh I had completely forgotten the title The moment they tried to make me believe this „poor“ girl only drinks coconut water bc regular water is gross I was done if she has no money how on Earth was she soending it on expensive coconut water does it cost that much less in the US?!
i've been on wattpad since 2012 & i gotta say, you have to wade through a lot of tropey (& not in a good way), terribly written bullshit before you get to the good stuff
If you like fantasy books I recommend The Face Thief by hiraethia and Black Bird by ellechanel. Juliet by boysterous is a great Mystery/Thriller. It sucks that a lot of the bad books on Wattpad become the popular ones and not the well written and thought-out stories but you just gotta dig a little to find them.
The sad thing is, Chasing Red has 179million views on Wattpad -- yet all of the good books have only 100k-200k views. I have no idea how that book even got popular/ published. It's nauseating really. Good review! -Helena
i couldn't get further than 8 chapters into this book. every damn chapter was the same bullshit. she makes him food, she admires him (because for some reason he's always naked to some extent) and there's like a 20 line parapgraph on how hot Caleb is, then they make out , and he's like "what are we?" and she's like "iM nOt ReAdy!!!!" . props to you for reading this garbage so other don't have to.
Ok WOW don't even get me STARTED on wattpad stories :// I joined Wattpad when it was still relatively new (and i must admit i have some rlly shitty writing there but hey i was 14/15 at that time) and as i got older and tried posting better more well thought out books i realised that i barely got any reads and that's when i realised... it's because it's not a trashy story. for some reason, readers are so attracted to stories like this where the girl is 'not just any girl' and the guy is possessive and a little... unrealistic. when u were talking about the characters i was like yep this was the kind of shit i read when i was 14 jfdsjf
Oh my God! I have about the same problem. It's so frustrating too, because. You spend hours on creating good characters that you can relate to, thinking of a decent plot, and perfecting tiny mistakes. Yet no one ever reads them! The only above average book I've ever read on wattpad was a story called 'wings', it was one of those very descriptive ones. With a realistic plot yet fictional plot. That and its sequel 'flames' are literally the only wattpad stories that I've actually enjoyed to this day.
i can already guess that the second book would involve a new guy and they will be thrown back into the love triangle again lmao mark this comment when the second book comes out
The only reason I read wattpad romance is that so I can feel better about my writing. There are so many differences between a wattpad writer and a real writer lol
Saving the girl from rape is a gigantic trope in pardon my french shitty fanfictions I really don't like it cause it's so simplistic it makes me angry like the most goblin evil person tries to do the most goblin evil person thing to the poor girl and the Amazing Splendid Prince of Goodness and Perfection shows up and immediately the girl loves him
Initially when I downloaded wattpad, i was traumatized to say the least but then I came across writers like noelle and rose(northbynorth) with books like Slow Dancing, Saving Elliot who literally make me want to rip my hair out and hug them at the same time because of how good they are. I'm currently reading Dark Visions and honestly, it is a masterpiece.
wattpad books are fully a mess, and the good ones are few and far between. i saw the thumbnail and i just IMMEDIATELY knew this was one of the bad ones. 😅
Casey Aonso i honestly haven’t read a wattpad book in agessss so i can’t remember a lot of the ones i actually liked, but i love your videos a lot and they brighten my day so please keep making them!! 💕💕
i really can’t read anything on wattpad because - the grammar might be shite - horrible self-insert characters - too many cliché tropes - horrible portrayals of psychological illnesses (trust me this happens a LOT, especially in fanfictions...) now, i’m okay with some tropes as long as they’re given an original twist. honestly, why not make the female main character witty or flirty or even mysterious herself? or, why not write a story between two people that are similar in terms of personality? where is the originality? my stories are - not to brag - original, yet wattpad doesn’t want to help me, or any smaller authors that have really well-written stories and plots. it’s as if they’re choosing favourites, those wattpad ambassadors. it’s okay to stray from those with 20m followers once in a while, goddamn it. also great review! i actually read the first paragraph and immediately closed out of my app. so glad i found this vid!
Thatcher G. I thought it would be shit judging from this review but several chapters in whoa...it got better. He wasn't anything like a bad boy. Lol. Give it a chance.
It's because the app is full of teenage girls and they just LOVEEE bad boys and billionaires. So if you dare write any thing different, they will turn their head and find more cliche stories to read.
I have passion for writing and creating but my grammar sucks. I'm trying to write stories and fix my grammar but meh. I hate some popular wattpad books because there's so many toxic overused cliche things. It's harmful for people especially young ones.
Not all Wattpad books are bad. Books like storm and silence, bullied, mafia and his angel, the centuries series, they are genuinely good. I just got tired of the bad boy cliche. These books I definitely recommend if you are looking for some genuinely good books. They are NOT cliche and are definitely awesome. Also I am a Wattpad writer myself and I try my hardest to avoid these books. I love this video for pointing out the mistakes so that I won't make them in the future.
I can promise you not all romances are THIS cringy or THIS bad. "Chasing Red" is the worst book ever I agree, but c'mon. Let's not make assumptions over few books. There are gems out there I swear.
There is a series in Wattpad that I like a lot. They’re like thriller/horror and they are really good. They are basically about a girl who was kidnapped to a family of cannibals and is forced to marry one of them. She then develops Stockholm syndrome, but that’s all I’m gonna say about book 1. The first book is called “Family Comes First (Kidnapped by Cannibals)”, and I really recommend it
Believe me, if you've ever even opened wattpad, you've read fcf. My entire class was obsessed with it in 6th grade. I loved that series. The writer began to run out of ideas near the end, but the first book was solid
Ohhh I love those type of books too! My favorite was "Mommy's House" It was about 3 kidnapped kids who were taken to a house and the woman acts like their mommy(It's really violent and scarier than you think) The author is "z0mbies" she writes all sorts of cool horror stories
LMAOOO I remember reading this as a kid because it was on the first page of Wattpad, and my dumbass self didn't realize there was so much smut. Let me tell you, I was TRAUMATIZED
Casey Aonso yeah same! I read the first few chapters and could barely get through it so I tried reading the Larry version (as I was a big Larry shipper) and I couldn’t even read that. It’s terrible
My classmates love her (insert vomiting emoji). You wont be sueprised that they also love shadowhunters, riverdale, 13rw, fifty shades of grey and twilight
I originally saw this book on wattpad, where it got SO much praise and attention by both readers and the site itself, so I checked it out and couldn't get past the first couple chapters. Like it seemed like everyone LOVED that book and I couldn't see it, so it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who hated it!!!
No One only if u complete the book u can figure out why people liked it The first couple of chap had nothing and people judging the book just like that arent true readers
What I think about Wattpad books is that they're cliche and by that, I mean the ideas are too overused. In the first few books in the romance and teen fic, I liked it, but after trying a few more books, I found that they had almost the same cliche plots. This annoyed me so much that I changed to the fantasy category.
Georgia Merton I recommend kissing is the easy part and it’s sequel, kissing and other necessities. It’s not completely based on their love life and more on their character development. I cried a lot reading it.😢 can’t guarantee that you’ll like it but for me it’s a good book.
I was very lucky to have read them in wattpad, and spent nothing on it. It was an experience of a lifetime. Literally lifetime bc the plot was drag for so looong
Ok but why throw the book?? I feel like you slapped me. Also. I read this book when I was younger and I thought it was a masterpiece. I'm ashamed of myself
Well, that's a funny coincidence: Anna Todd's 'books' are the worst stories I've read in my entire life. So the fact that she blurbed this one as excellent sort of solidifies your point for me.
But Anna Todd's book "After" is so popular that her book turns into a movie..i don't understand if people hate this type of books so why these books become so popular?plz explain.
I saw this and immediately thought back to reading it on wattpad when I was 12. When I was 12 I was way in the cliche wattpad hole, like i lived for that shit, but even in the midst of me being a badboy×goodgirl stan- I thought this "book" was utter shit.
this book is one of those wattpad stories that’s meant to read on the app and not anywhere else. literally. it’s not meant to be published or taken as a serious book. i don’t know what publishers are thinking recently, they seem to have a trend for publishing books like these just because it’s popular on the app. it’s just so.....cheap.
As she talks about the book After just keeps on coming into mind, like the two books have so many things in similar like stupid fights every fifteen minutes,sex! Sex! Sex!
I remember back when my friends and I were all on Wattpad, Chasing Red was ALWAYS recommended to us. We all hated it lol, I couldn’t even finish the first chapter.
Some sort of demon Same here. I only read Science Fiction or Fanfiction on Wattpad and they keep trying to shove this on my page. Caved in, read a chapter and promptly dropped it

IT LITERALLY WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED *BAD BOY IN LOVE*
WHAT THE SHIT I'M WHEEZING
💀
Lmaooo
agh i REMEMBER WHEN SHE CHANGED IT HAHAHSHSJSGGJS
honestly a red flag
Wattpad stories:
'Im in college'-> goes to a class twice throughout the entire story
'Im in highschool, and have straight A's'-> goes to school once and never did an ounce of hw or studying
'I need a job. I got a job'->never goes to said job, gets into 65973 accidents and misses 78397 years of work, yet still has said job.
WTF
Lol I know right...ugh
This is very accurate depiction of every wattpad book ever 😂
Exactly! They never study, and if they have a job which is probably in a cafe or a restaurant, the boss lets them have days off bc they Like her or something
@@aquamarineancientsoul7893 It's clear neither the author or the character understands how hospitality works.
@@dreameylea9335 not all wattpad books are like that. Some are actually pretty good. Just look for the hidden gems
Someone on Wattpad is trying to get this video reported. She literally went on the author’s page and told them bout this video and I was dead cuz it’s just sooo petty
Casey Aonso ikr! It’s crazy. I’ll send you the screen shots on ig but it’ll different account. The author has not replied and seems that she does not reply to ppl on her page but i don’t think that it will stop the other girl from trying to report this. Luckily someone told the girl that she can not do report it but I will still show them to you
Casey Aonso ok great! I have already sent the screen shot to your ig like I said I would because I thought that you should know about it. All love ❤️

Lalitha Anand lmao me rn 😂
Charlize Findlay yeah superrrrr petty for an author who puts their blood sweat and tears into their work to have some little shit go on UA-cam and tear it apart in the nastiest most disrespectful way possible. 🙄🙄🙄
Wattpad writer: bad boy
Publishers: AMAZING 10/10
Other writer: *has an original story with good plot*
Publishers: no??
Incapable of originality but im trying . IKR . I once read a vey good and original book on Wattpad, but it had like, 300 views, good writers out there need recognition (without using a hot cover)
I love u for commenting this
I want to write a wattpad book, but wattpad writers have such a bad reputation. My genre of books is fantasy more than anything, a bit of romance but not the wattpad romance XD
So true
I have a book on wattpad. It's a thriller. If you want to read it I'll tell you the name.
The weirdest books are the most popular on wattpad. After chapter one, I had to accidentally delete it from my library.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I’m wheezing. Same tho I read chapter one and was like... I’m not reading this.
I read the first 10 chapters and was already sick of it lmao
Damn true. Read a book with about 23 million reads, called Rejected Princess, and it was so cringy!!!
Hadid Khan I’m guessing it’s something to do with werewolves or vampire
I remember trying to read this book a long time ago on wattpad and I left a comment about how I was bored of reading books where the main character is a completely inexperienced virgin and the love interest is an extremely experienced 'player' as I find it cliche and unrealistic and I got like 500 replies from all these girls attacking me for it lmao
E A
I still dislike the book to this day.
Rebecca Blackwood
Excuse me but I use wattpad, I’m an author on wattpad, and have a lot of books in my library, but I absolutely hate the inexperienced female lead and the experienced player, not all wattpad users read sh*t.
@@RiaxaraCo its a joke lol
CatsFace
Jokes need to be phrased like jokes, and using italics and bolded words also help with showing it’s a joke.
Omg it's always the rich , sexy guy falling for the poor girl , what happened to the normal guy? Plus living with a guy she barely knew existed , this girl never watched crime documentaries.
In one of my currents, the main girl is on the rich side and the main guy isn't poor. He's just normal. Already sounds cliche lol but I made him normal specifically because I just didn't want to write some sappy cliche
Lol
YOHANA I had the same thought. If she went home with a different guy, this book would have been a horror/crime story instead of just being horrifyingly bad
Dark triumph, it takes please in the 15th century, but the main character falls in love with something along the lines of “an ugly brute of a man” for his personality, its a sequel rho
If you want a normal guy and a rich girl book in wattpad read (Candy Lips)
It’s really good.
I swear I got war flashbacks when I heard you say Anna Todd
You know its a bad book when Anna Todd says its good.

Wattpad now is in the level that its own name it's an insult. "Your story it's so wattpad" Be offended
Read titans throne.
bad books: projected insecurities, unfulfilled fantasies and compensation for them
good books: actual care for the craft and the desire to tell a good story
I think sometimes writing unfilled fantasies is fun..if it's done right
I'd like to classify myself as the second one. Romance novels like Chasing Red often DO NOT have a second or tercery plot. When the only plot is to get the characters together--there's no real purpose. You could shorten the book to three chapters instead of 40 or 100 chapters. In romance novels there's always that artificial drama created by the author. Cliches and overused tropes also accompany it.
I wrote 4 unfinished books on Wattpad. One was about 2 mermaid sisters, and their adventures. The second book was about my exaggerated life in my African family. The 3rd one is a crackhead take on vampires and werewolves. The 4th is about rich people who live in Rosewood gated community (I forgot the name of the community). Anyway, all of these stories have little romance. The first 3 ones were mostly about life, and silly adventures and romance is sprinkled in between. The 4th one is meant to be dark, and focus on the evil stuff the people in that community did, and how they use poor people to do their bidding, and the police investigating them no romance whatsoever. Nobody read those stories, so they ended up in the discontinued pile.
It was called Rosemary community.
yo don't call me out-
I hate the word panties too. I prefer underwear. it just sounds so.....ugh!

Scholarships.
If Anna Todd said it was a good book, then it's definitely a bad book.
Lmao 😂 have you read White Stag then? (Pandean, I think it's her username)It's actually pretty good, but I'm not sure if people actually like it. Oh well. Anna Todd's stories are just published because of it's popularity, same with other books.
😂
So if I were to tell you that I wrote a historical fiction book (that I thought was good because I spent time on it) would it mean that it is bad considering that it was on Wattpad? Believe me Wattpad is mostly hot garbage, like the UA-cam trending page. The gems are hard to find and mostly ignored and honestly Wattpad has an issue of publishing books that are exactly that smut-filled, cliche filled novels that read like terrible fanworks. Don't get me wrong like Ms. Aonso books like 'Chasing Red' infuriates me. You give authors a bad rep when you write TERRIBLE books.
HAHAHAHAHA FR THOUGH LMFAO 💀 😂
M G Anyone can write bad shit. People have to bad write shit before they can begin to write good quality shit. It doesn’t really matter what platform it ends up on. You can have poorly made movies, books, poems, and so on. And they can be bad for a lot of different reasons. Maybe they’re cheap or didn’t have enough time, maybe they were made in one draft, maybe the writer didn’t understand the subject matter well enough and ended up sending a really bad message. But that’s what we all have to go through. In the end, it will only make you better, either by learning what not to do or learning what you like and dislike.
Another thing is that no piece of art will connect with everyone the same way. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are a lot like lightening in a bottle. There isn’t much out there with quite the same scope. But just because you’re not making the next Harry Potter, doesn’t mean there won’t be people out there who don’t enjoy your book.
The beach part read like an r/thathappened post.

I'm very glad that you at least mentioned the attempted female-on-male rape and gave it the shock and horror that it deserves.
Yes, very true. Male on female rape isn’t taken seriously enough. But female on male rape, to some people it’s not real. “A girl can’t rape a guy” I’m just like....it scares me that you think that way.
Macie Hinds Honestly, it’s scary in general how a lot of people refuse to believe that women can be predators too. Having most people not believe in actual female victims of harassment, rape, abuse, etc is already bad enough. But male victims of harassment, rape, abuse, etc? Most people will straight up tell them to “man up” or “deal with it”.
The Biggest flaw here was how easily the girl ditched him and didn't believe him when the other girl practically forced herself on him. If the roles were reversed it would have been "a toxic relationship" obviously
In reply to this, ‘rape’ is almost always specifically defined by sexual penetration and impregnation of the VICTIM.
I know that people are going to hate me, and I'm sorry . . .
I'm not that sorry, I don't care because I'm right.
I know it's just my opinion, but I'm right.
Also, I'm a girl.
Thank you for NOT asking.
@@classicdistraction I think that female on Male rape is classed as sexual abuse but is literally the same as rape anyway 💁♂️
Every cliche' book in wattpad has that oossesive bad boy aspect. But there are good wattpad books out there. Just be carefull not to read something with bad boys in it. They are the worst
That was the beginning of my wattpad stage in life. Now even if I see the title or summary with bad boy or good girl i internally roll my eyes and sigh "Ughh not again."
Ashley Villegas Hernandez 😂😂you know, ypu KNOW every aspect of the plot from the time you see 'bad boy'
I know right! It’s hard to find a Wattpad gem. I hate the conventionally pretty girl who’s a nerd but super perfect and some how ends up with a bad boy that’s super depressed yet deep at the same time trope. I’ve read 400, yea 400 teen fiction/romance and cringe AT EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!! AND THE PROBLEM IS I STILL FUCKIN READ THEM BECAUSE I LOVE YELLING AT THEM AND COMMENTING HOW THEY ARE SO HORRIBLE!!! I have a problem.
thisaccountdoesntexistorwuteva 😂😂
I honestly love wattpad and I often get amused by people hating on it cuz of the multiple cliche and trendy crap all over it 😂 I don't blame them, I of course still see those kinds of books but it's actually easy for me to ignore them since I read fantasy and supernatural books and I always get recommendations to those kinds of books. Definitely not perfect and there are some that makes me "wtf, how did this one get to the Watty's!?!?" But still better than those fanfics and badboy shiz u see often on Wattpad.
And more often than not, it makes u appreciate the young writers honing their skills on this free site and produce something beautiful, as imperfect as they may be in the publishing world, as they slowly but surely improve in the process with their love for writing.
When you paused after saying Caleb collects her hair I was half expecting you to say...AND HE EATS IT'S like I would not have been surprised

I use Wattpad both for writing and reading, and while there is a ton of absolute garbage on there, every once in a while, you find something that's actually good. It's kind of fun, searching for those Holy Grails of Wattpad books...I mean, if you have the time to sift through all the shit. It does make those good stories much easier to appreciate, though!
PeanutButterZombie00 Same
I don't get it? Even fanfiction.net has a fair amount of great stuff.
PeanutButterZombie00 it’s the same thing like on the game, Episode. Some stories there are SOOOO bad that I immediately stop reading. Actually good stories (writing is amazing, great detail!!) are: Falling For Sin, Us at Midnight, A Poisonous Rose, and Love, Julien. :)
Forgot to mention that the Falling For Sin author also writes on wattpad (it’s called Love Bird on wattpad)
PeanutButterZombie00 I honestly gave up on finding good books and now I just use it to follow friends and see what they’re up to lmao
At least she didn’t use “orbs” instead of eyes lmfaooo, but yeah, this sounds like every other wattpad fanfic type of story lol
As soon as I heard “it’s a Wattpad book,” I knew.
I'm SO sick of the bad boy trope being portrayed as a healthy, romantic relationship.
rosie. I agree! Also sick of the same repetitive, stereotypical garbage. Nothing is original.
I've gotten this book recommended to me like 10000 times, and I've avoided because of the description it until a few weeks ago when I gave it a chance. It was horrid, and unoriginal, and I stopped a few lines into the 1st chapter. The bad boys in Wattpad stories are so fucking abusive, yet people root for him. I rooted for the nice guy who treats her like she's not an object and I get called a hater 😑😑😑😑

@@s1si The one where I rooted for the good guy was called "perfect illusion" the one that i stopped reading the first chapter is "chasing red"

What university cares about students passing notes? In my experience, most professors have the attitude of "You're not paying attention? Fine, it's your grades on the line."
Jennifer Park Eh, it depends on the teacher. If you show up after a certain amount of time, they’ll count it as an absence, but no one’s going to care if you’re 5 minutes late. Some of them will even eschew the absence if you don’t make a habit of it and you have a good explanation.
aacsmiles There are professors who openly grill people who are 5mins late (my 1st English professor would grill anyone who was 1min late so she wasn't well liked) & ones who will grill people who leave 5mins early. It depends on the professor, but most don't care. That's why ratemyprofessor.com is super helpful, so you can choose professors with good reviews if you're lucky 😊
also who actually knows anyone in university? most people i watch say that they dont know, like, 98% of anybody in there
my university didn't really care. you could show up or not, show up late or on time, use your phone during class, etc. and literally no teacher i had cared about whether i did this. at school it was a thing but university was way more chill about that
ice blue *orbs

This book actually has ALL the plot cliches that some wattpad books have. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Lol ew
Not all of them.
Please don't be disrespectful assuming every single wattpad writer is like this, everyone has there own style of writing, most just decide to copy others ways of it thinking it'll get them more followers on wattpad.
Kinda pisses me off when people shit on wattpad writers,
some write for themselves rather than others.
Wavie Dreams they said the book follow every cliche not that all wattpad writers are bad,
How is she homeless but going to a University?

Jade Lea
Yeah but the girl in the book seems like she doesn’t do any work at all lol

Do these authors just use us to self impose their own fantasies and desires upon us? Because year, after year, after YEAR these types of books come out. The girl is never a NORMAL girl, like, you know, the REST of us. She has to be gorgeous and sexy, and get the most hunkiest of hunks who just want to play Dad (Dad, not Daddy) to her throughout the entire novel. The situations these authors put them in, the environment, SOUNDS like a fantasy. Which is fine if we were dealing with fantasy, but these are contemporary novels, with contemporary 'type' characters, and having them re-enact a 80's montage is not contemporary. Do they think we're stupid? Or that we are so pathetic that we want to see an author pretend like she's a pretty, young, sought after young lady, with no other discernable traits, other than being young, hot and sought after? Do they think we will not notice the lack of plot? These are serious questions. As a writer, you have to bring more than your own personal 'What if I was a'.
Indiegirl007 I AGREE WITH THIS SO SO SO MUCH
PREACH 👏👏👏👏
I’ve been wanting to say this so bad and expose those authors, but I could never find the right words to explain, so thank you
Exactly. I hate when authors think that readers has no mind of their own. Some authors think that readers just "read" and can't say anything back. If a reader said something back about how bad their book is, they get all mad and told us to "not read it". Then, why did you published it for readers to read your work? Might as well keep it to the author-self.
This is so true
Chasing Red is the most wattpad book of wattpad books, it’s where the troubled son of a billionaire and poor awkward shy girl cliché came from
Lily Mitchell . That’s every bad boys book on wattpad ever

I write and RARELY read on Wattpad. It’s hard for me even comprehend how some stories get so many reads. I always say it’s like the ocean: trash is on top and the treasure sinks to the bottom.
I actually sit down and take my time to plot and write my first drafts (which is all I post on there) but a crappy romance story that has the most toxic relationships can be promoted by Wattpad and be published. It’s terrible for people like me who actually try to write because we barely end any attention on there.
Ariel Bianca Same, what is ur account?
Jasmine Yu lazycupcake. 🙂
I'll read your stories if you have any!
I’m exactly the same. I write all the time but barely read because I struggle to find something different from bad boy cliches which just promote toxic relationships 🙃
Man, I totally get what you are saying. Like real talent is not at all noticed like what the hell?
What i realized during my book club (yes, book club its amazing) this girl said something that really opened my eyes.
Ok so usually when there's a "love triangle" its 2 girls and 1 boy or 2 boys and 1 girl. How is it a love triangle if there is no triangle?
Boy likes girl other boy likes girl. It's not a triangle unless one of the boys like each other. (That would actually be interesting) It's just a acute angle. "Love triangle' is so misleading but tbh i didn't even know until she pointed it out.(Sorry for my long explanation just learned some new information and wanted to share)
Casey Aonso i know right, mind blown *bomb exploding*
I’m actually writing a story where the main character is in love with his best friend. But his best friend is a prince who is destined to become the future king and the MC is just a poor kid who lives in the servants quarters. He knows that as they grow older their lives will separate them, so he decides to train to become the kings bodyguard so that way he can always be by his side. The MC spends the next 11 years training. After a few years, there is a coronation ceremony and the prince is crowned King. Following tradition, the greatest fighters in the land gather and fight each other. The strongest man/ woman becomes the Kings bodyguard. He enters the tournament under a guise and wins the last fight by outsmarting his competitor. (His opponent is a dual wielding prodigy and is also his childhood bully. He uses his hubris against him and taunts him, saying he couldn’t possibly beat him with one sword. They fight and the MC wins). He becomes the Kings Bodyguard but shortly after, following tradition of course, the new King is paired with a noble woman and they are married. The king loves the MC but not in the same way and the MC loves him, the new queen loves her husband but is jealous of the bond the two share and feels she can never form a bond that strong with the King. It’s quite sad for everyone involved because they can all never have with they really want but try to do their best at respecting the others wishes and keeping the ones they love happy.
@@kayhaych05 well, god luck!
@@kayhaych05 It still wouldn't be a love triangle unless the queen loves the bodyguard/MC. So it would be MC -> King -> Queen -> MC. Boom a true love triangle lol
YESS IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS. Growing up when I would think of love triangles I’d always think of them as “person A loves person B, person B loves person C, person C loves person A” and I when I heard about these stories with “love triangles” like Hunger Games I just never understood why they were marketed as such because I grew up with the other definition. I will say if you want to read a story (well it’s a play but still) that I think does the idea in a really interesting manner you should read Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. In the triangle there’s 2 girls and 1 guy but what’s interesting about it is that 1 of the girls is disguised as a guy and because of this the other girl falls in love with her, thinking that she’s a guy. So, check it out if you’re curious, I really wish more stories with love triangles were written this way!
Was feeling low on my own writing recently. Then I listened to some of the quotes from this book. Maybe I'm doing pretty good after all.

after i finished it i was like “...where’s the rest?” i heard so much praise for it and i couldn’t figure out why bc it was sooo boring and poorly written and i was considering reading it again to find what i was missing but now ik i’m not the only one lmao🙃

It’s always on the recommend on Wattpad and I hated it only by seeing the title.. so tired of those romance stories
Its an unfortunate thing
I ended up homeless for 6 days and actually went to the club at night cause it was warm, open all night and safer than the streets hahaha
I can somewhat understand why the author had her at a club even though she was homeless but what confuses me is that drinks at clubs are usually expensive, especially when the club knows they have a consistent college or university crowd. So why was Veronica drinking so much expensive alcohol that she was drunk? And why was she wearing a club dress if she was homeless? (Also I’m so sorry that you were homeless for a bit, I hope all is better for you now)
3:29 wait isn’t Anna Todd the one who wrote After like do we really trust her to recommend something
when i heard her name I got ptsd like she is the queen of bad books the movie was bad but it was still better
HA! I read this on Wattpad like last year. I didn't know it was published as a book. lol. But this story is still on Wattpad I think. Why would anyone buy this? LOL
Yeah I can totally see why you would think that!

The book is a slightly more polished version of the wattpad story.
Same people that buy Fifty Shades of Grey, originally known as Twilight fanfiction on fanfiction.net
le sigh what's your username!! I have it. now I'm dead.
I don't understand why good books on Wattpad with great grammar barley gets any reads but trashy Wattpad books with terrible grammar get over a million reads (btw I love Wattpad and am writing my own story, but I have to admit, the romance stories are really trashy)
Nahiyan Rahman Ikr!! It makes me afraid of what would happen if i tried to publish some of my story ideas there. What's the name of your story??
I haven't published it yet. I barley have any time because of school. But it is a fantasy series with action, but once I finish writing the first book, I will publish it. Thank you for asking!
Nahiyan Rahman Me too. I tried to make it more relatable and realistic to the reader as possible. Not the character who is sexual and all dumb. The character at least could have Ing some brain or thought or could make some decision.
suggest some good wattpad please!!
I also write on Wattpad and usually read Fantasy and Supernatural books. It is honestly easy for me to ignore the trashy romance 😂
I feel like the people who write these books were either homeschooled, were still in middle school, or went to private school. I know because I low key used to write like this when I was in private school, and didn’t wake up until I went to an actual high school. I think it’s probably because all they have to base the book off of is the other crappy books written like this.
lmao now this is offensive to homeschooled kids
Unfortunately, that last part's accurate. For me, at least.
Homeschooled kids in middle school. I was homeschooled for middle school and I’m homeschooled still but in highschool. The homeschoolers I know now are amazing writers but in middle school, that’s a whole different story
I can see that, although I was homeschooled and I don't write like this.
Rani P yeah I see it less now
Lol. Wattpad literally shoves this book on our faces every time we open the app. I tried reading it but couldn't get past the first page so left it and I'm glad I did.
"she has serious daddy issues, he has serious daddy issues." well, there you go. no wonder it sells.
this is why I don't like it when writers from Wattpad go publishing their stuff only because it's popular on the website, there's a huge difference between writing as a hobby for people who can read it for free and being a professional author whose books are paid for with hard-earned money, no offense to Wattpad, I read tons of books on it and it was one of the main reasons I started reading in English a story from start to end, but it can be so predictable most of the time and most of what's there is so not fit for publishing
But she was approached for publishing. Check out Ali Novak and A. V. Geiger because they’re good.

The fact that this book was probably written by someone in their late teens/early adulthood makes me want to leave the planet
Casey Aonso Exactly!! I feel like this is the book version of those "millennial-friendly" ads that use memes to seem relatable, and it was secretly written by a group of 70 year old business executives who think This Is What Yungins Do Now, because I can't imagine how a real 20-something thought this was realistic at all
My 3 year old cousin has told better, and more creative stories than this. Don't even put this on a 12 year old💀
I'm 11, an author and a poet. I don't like this book at all, it's horrible.
You have to be 13 to make a wattpad acc
13 here and I absolutely HATE those cliche trope books on wattpad. There are a few good written YA on wattpad however you have to search REALLY deep. If you want to find good stories on wattpad, the fantasy and horror section is where its at. There are really good books there.
didn’t anna todd write one of the actual worst harry styles fanfics ever? she blocked me on instagram in 2014
Commenting because I want to know too
Casey Aonso i’m pretty sure it was because my friends and i were calling her out for romanticizing abuse/terrible behavior and refusing to acknowledge that the majority of her readers were like 12 and therefore super impressionable lol
Kylei Quiñones my friend and I dont like that book too.
ANNA TODD JS THE GIRL WHO WROTE AFTER DHDKFMFKD
😂😂😂😂
no one:
wattpad author: as he *cArEssEs* my long brown hair, he says, "I've nEveR met a girl like yOu" he takes off my ACDC tshirt "I sEe" he says in his *raspy* but soft voice. hesitatingly, I say to him, "I'm not ready"
"oh you're innocent but *pReCiOuS* aren't you"
PS. I hate the word panties too!! it's such a weird word like why does it exist
It exists because it wants to eat our human souls.
I, as a Canadian (the author Isabelle Ronin is Canadian) apologize for this piece of "literature"
i thought the name "chasing red" looked familiar and turns out i'd come across it on wattpad before...my past is back to haunt me
I know right?😂
Why do I relate
the only good wattpad book i know is the storm and silence series
karylee concepcion while I love that series, I really think the author has dragged the romance out for faaaaaaar too long🙃
It really is but I still love it. it's my guilty pleasure. I am wattpad trash and I embrace it. I also love Caleb. He is my baby and I don't care what anyone says.
In a world where horrible books are sold to the innocent (or at least the unsuspecting), courage has a new name.
Oh -- it's "Casey," if you're wondering.
Sounds like a burb : 0
It's like a bad band fanfiction. I 100% bet she wrote this about an idol but she had to change the name to get it published.
AND NOW YOU JUST SAID IT WAS A WATTPAD BOOOK HAHAHA I KNEW IT
When wattpad writers explain eyes: “his/her _orbs_ glared at me”
the first sentence literally sounds like every fanfic ever written omygod
OMG when you started describing the plot I was like wait a minute this sounds familiar
I read it on wattpad back in the days bc it kept getting recommended to me and since than I’ve been making fun of it to everyone who wants to hear ahhh
I had completely forgotten the title
The moment they tried to make me believe this „poor“ girl only drinks coconut water bc regular water is gross I was done if she has no money how on Earth was she soending it on expensive coconut water does it cost that much less in the US?!
i've been on wattpad since 2012 & i gotta say, you have to wade through a lot of tropey (& not in a good way), terribly written bullshit before you get to the good stuff
Casey Aonso I mostly read fantasy but there's a girl account called Hennwick who writes diverse in characters and genres.
Seconding Confessions about Colton, it was really well written
My favourite book on there is called She's With Me, and at first it seems cliche but I really enjoyed it.
Casey Aonso Saving Everest and The Girl He Left Behind are really good
If you like fantasy books I recommend The Face Thief by hiraethia and Black Bird by ellechanel. Juliet by boysterous is a great Mystery/Thriller. It sucks that a lot of the bad books on Wattpad become the popular ones and not the well written and thought-out stories but you just gotta dig a little to find them.
The sad thing is, Chasing Red has 179million views on Wattpad -- yet all of the good books have only 100k-200k views. I have no idea how that book even got popular/ published. It's nauseating really.
Good review!
-Helena
some good books don't even have 100k reads.
Almost 200 million reads now...and all the actual good books are underrated!
i couldn't get further than 8 chapters into this book. every damn chapter was the same bullshit. she makes him food, she admires him (because for some reason he's always naked to some extent) and there's like a 20 line parapgraph on how hot Caleb is, then they make out , and he's like "what are we?" and she's like "iM nOt ReAdy!!!!" . props to you for reading this garbage so other don't have to.
Agreed. I recommend storm and silence or taming the street racer. Error 404 is a good one too
"I'm nOt LiKE oThEr GIrlS" written into a book. Just, yikes.
Ok WOW don't even get me STARTED on wattpad stories :// I joined Wattpad when it was still relatively new (and i must admit i have some rlly shitty writing there but hey i was 14/15 at that time) and as i got older and tried posting better more well thought out books i realised that i barely got any reads and that's when i realised... it's because it's not a trashy story. for some reason, readers are so attracted to stories like this where the girl is 'not just any girl' and the guy is possessive and a little... unrealistic. when u were talking about the characters i was like yep this was the kind of shit i read when i was 14 jfdsjf
Oh my God! I have about the same problem. It's so frustrating too, because. You spend hours on creating good characters that you can relate to, thinking of a decent plot, and perfecting tiny mistakes. Yet no one ever reads them! The only above average book I've ever read on wattpad was a story called 'wings', it was one of those very descriptive ones. With a realistic plot yet fictional plot. That and its sequel 'flames' are literally the only wattpad stories that I've actually enjoyed to this day.
Chris this us literally so true, there are so many good books on wattpad but it doesn't get as nearly as much reads as the trophy, cliche ones.
Im not even 14 (13 rather) and I hate those types of books. :'(
You can tell she’s dragging the book on to a second one for the money
It's technically just one long ass book on Wattpad, but like it could've been ended in like two to four chapters tbh,
It's technically just one long ass book on Wattpad, but like it could've been ended in like two to four chapters tbh,
Exactly.
i can already guess that the second book would involve a new guy and they will be thrown back into the love triangle again lmao mark this comment when the second book comes out
The only reason I read wattpad romance is that so I can feel better about my writing. There are so many differences between a wattpad writer and a real writer lol
eh same,reading bad books is a guilty pleasure of myne:so bad it's entertaining
So glad to find someone who also thinks the word „panties“ is grotesque
"The girl had a bone to pick with anyone who's blonde" 😂I'm dying hahahaha
so glad someone else hates the word panties
Efji "I guess you're gonna miss the PANTY RAID." -Patrick Star
Sam from iCarly hates it too 😂
hey I love your "make-me-sin red" shirt
Saving the girl from rape is a gigantic trope in pardon my french shitty fanfictions I really don't like it cause it's so simplistic it makes me angry like the most goblin evil person tries to do the most goblin evil person thing to the poor girl and the Amazing Splendid Prince of Goodness and Perfection shows up and immediately the girl loves him
Initially when I downloaded wattpad, i was traumatized to say the least but then I came across writers like noelle and rose(northbynorth) with books like Slow Dancing, Saving Elliot who literally make me want to rip my hair out and hug them at the same time because of how good they are. I'm currently reading Dark Visions and honestly, it is a masterpiece.
Finally someone acknowledges her! I love saving elliot, it's my favorite book on wattpad.
noelle is a treasure.
SAVING ELLIOT
If you think Chasing Red is bad read her other book “The Boy who Broke the Rules”. I have nightmares about it to this day.
I couldn’t get through it. Chasing Red maxxed out the quota.
i kid you not as soon as you read the first sentence i was done, like that's it. ew, im so sorry you sacrificed your brain cells for that book
Casey Aonso in that case keep them coming, there are plenty on wattpad that are soooo bad. hint: the worst ones have bad boy in the title
Upchuck Downchuck iii
Sure some of her brain cells survived and therefore according to Nietzche were made stronger so it's a net gain.
I was like THIS IS TOTALLY FROM WATTPAD I'M LAUGHING SO HARD LOL
I saw it and was like: wow maybe I'll give it a shot but then after the first page I was like nevermind.
Collecting her hair ?!
So stupid
wattpad books are fully a mess, and the good ones are few and far between. i saw the thumbnail and i just IMMEDIATELY knew this was one of the bad ones. 😅
Casey Aonso i honestly haven’t read a wattpad book in agessss so i can’t remember a lot of the ones i actually liked, but i love your videos a lot and they brighten my day so please keep making them!! 💕💕
i really can’t read anything on wattpad because
- the grammar might be shite
- horrible self-insert characters
- too many cliché tropes
- horrible portrayals of psychological illnesses (trust me this happens a LOT, especially in fanfictions...)
now, i’m okay with some tropes as long as they’re given an original twist. honestly, why not make the female main character witty or flirty or even mysterious herself? or, why not write a story between two people that are similar in terms of personality? where is the originality?
my stories are - not to brag - original, yet wattpad doesn’t want to help me, or any smaller authors that have really well-written stories and plots.
it’s as if they’re choosing favourites, those wattpad ambassadors. it’s okay to stray from those with 20m followers once in a while, goddamn it.
also great review! i actually read the first paragraph and immediately closed out of my app. so glad i found this vid!
Thatcher G. I thought it would be shit judging from this review but several chapters in whoa...it got better. He wasn't anything like a bad boy. Lol. Give it a chance.
AMEN TO THIS!
It's because the app is full of teenage girls and they just LOVEEE bad boys and billionaires. So if you dare write any thing different, they will turn their head and find more cliche stories to read.
I have passion for writing and creating but my grammar sucks. I'm trying to write stories and fix my grammar but meh.
I hate some popular wattpad books because there's so many toxic overused cliche things.
It's harmful for people especially young ones.
Angel Blue I use grammarly a lot when writing. it helps point out a lotttt of mistakes so :)
Not all Wattpad books are bad. Books like storm and silence, bullied, mafia and his angel, the centuries series, they are genuinely good. I just got tired of the bad boy cliche. These books I definitely recommend if you are looking for some genuinely good books. They are NOT cliche and are definitely awesome. Also I am a Wattpad writer myself and I try my hardest to avoid these books. I love this video for pointing out the mistakes so that I won't make them in the future.
Same dude, I’ll follow you
I’m in wattpad as @LautheReader21
1 year late, but i gotta say I love Storm and Silence!!!
I still wonder why Wattpad books get published lmao
they got money to publish them eventhough they dont actually have the "talent or great storyline"
Honestly, usually the winners of the Watty awards are really good works, but I never see those books get published... Only these abominations. Logic?
The good ones never do...Fml
anne There are hidden gems on wattpad. Take Textrovert for example. It got published because of wattpad.
there are some good books out there that are really underrated, and it’s kinda sad to see the cringe plots get published.
Wattpad romances are the worst I can't believe they get published
I can promise you not all romances are THIS cringy or THIS bad. "Chasing Red" is the worst book ever I agree, but c'mon. Let's not make assumptions over few books. There are gems out there I swear.
I was once a fan of them. I'm disappointed in myself.
Shshhshsh
There is a series in Wattpad that I like a lot. They’re like thriller/horror and they are really good. They are basically about a girl who was kidnapped to a family of cannibals and is forced to marry one of them. She then develops Stockholm syndrome, but that’s all I’m gonna say about book 1. The first book is called “Family Comes First (Kidnapped by Cannibals)”, and I really recommend it
Believe me, if you've ever even opened wattpad, you've read fcf. My entire class was obsessed with it in 6th grade. I loved that series. The writer began to run out of ideas near the end, but the first book was solid
Omg yesss that started my obsession with thrillers
Ohhh I love those type of books too! My favorite was "Mommy's House" It was about 3 kidnapped kids who were taken to a house and the woman acts like their mommy(It's really violent and scarier than you think)
The author is "z0mbies" she writes all sorts of cool horror stories
Whos the author of it
@@SweetTooth1104 Mommy's House is legitimately freaky. The sequel was just insane
I agree with the comments recommending Storm and Silence by Sir Rob. It's so good.
LMAOOO I remember reading this as a kid because it was on the first page of Wattpad, and my dumbass self didn't realize there was so much smut. Let me tell you, I was TRAUMATIZED
Me: *hears the name anna todd*
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Casey Aonso yeah same! I read the first few chapters and could barely get through it so I tried reading the Larry version (as I was a big Larry shipper) and I couldn’t even read that. It’s terrible
Me too.
My classmates love her (insert vomiting emoji). You wont be sueprised that they also love shadowhunters, riverdale, 13rw, fifty shades of grey and twilight
I originally saw this book on wattpad, where it got SO much praise and attention by both readers and the site itself, so I checked it out and couldn't get past the first couple chapters. Like it seemed like everyone LOVED that book and I couldn't see it, so it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who hated it!!!
No One only if u complete the book u can figure out why people liked it
The first couple of chap had nothing and people judging the book just like that arent true readers
I even refused to read it because of that many reads lmfao
What I think about Wattpad books is that they're cliche and by that, I mean the ideas are too overused. In the first few books in the romance and teen fic, I liked it, but after trying a few more books, I found that they had almost the same cliche plots. This annoyed me so much that I changed to the fantasy category.
Georgia Merton I recommend kissing is the easy part and it’s sequel, kissing and other necessities. It’s not completely based on their love life and more on their character development. I cried a lot reading it.😢 can’t guarantee that you’ll like it but for me it’s a good book.
Ayyye, fantasy is definitely the best genre. I write fantasy and only fantasy.
@@unaestrella1876 same!!
I was very lucky to have read them in wattpad, and spent nothing on it. It was an experience of a lifetime. Literally lifetime bc the plot was drag for so looong
Ok but why throw the book?? I feel like you slapped me.
Also. I read this book when I was younger and I thought it was a masterpiece. I'm ashamed of myself
IKR ITS A GOOD BOOK
I remember my first impression was that it was decent (romance isn’t really my genre) but I tried to reread it and I couldn’t do it.
Well, that's a funny coincidence: Anna Todd's 'books' are the worst stories I've read in my entire life. So the fact that she blurbed this one as excellent sort of solidifies your point for me.
But Anna Todd's book "After" is so popular that her book turns into a movie..i don't understand if people hate this type of books so why these books become so popular?plz explain.
QUEEN OF DRAGGING BOOKS
I saw this and immediately thought back to reading it on wattpad when I was 12. When I was 12 I was way in the cliche wattpad hole, like i lived for that shit, but even in the midst of me being a badboy×goodgirl stan- I thought this "book" was utter shit.
That guy from White Chicks shit you were actually me currently. Don’t worry I’m slowly climbing out of that Wattpad hole Lololol
this book is one of those wattpad stories that’s meant to read on the app and not anywhere else. literally. it’s not meant to be published or taken as a serious book. i don’t know what publishers are thinking recently, they seem to have a trend for publishing books like these just because it’s popular on the app. it’s just so.....cheap.
As she talks about the book After just keeps on coming into mind, like the two books have so many things in similar like stupid fights every fifteen minutes,sex! Sex! Sex!
back when I used wattpad, this book got recommended to me all the damn time. no clue why, cause all I read were crack fics.
low-key want to read it now just to see how bad it rly is
Did you? Because I thought I would hate it but I didn't.
@@ZSSTORM-xr3rh i actually love it its like a guilty pleasure of mine, these wattpad "books" just like this, After and stuff
@@manamiaya I didn't like After but damn, Chasing Red is one of my faves. Caleb.... 😍😍😍
It's not even bad she's talking like she can do better like girl stfu
@@Officialyayapage I've seen 10 year olds do better. Just because you like it doesn't mean it's any less shitter and have overdone plots.
I remember back when my friends and I were all on Wattpad, Chasing Red was ALWAYS recommended to us. We all hated it lol, I couldn’t even finish the first chapter.
Some sort of demon Same here. I only read Science Fiction or Fanfiction on Wattpad and they keep trying to shove this on my page. Caved in, read a chapter and promptly dropped it
I dropped it at the first chapter, and I have no regrets in doing so.
Y'all need to read storm and silence. It's an actual good book originally from wattpad
i’m so proud of casey! look at her growth in 2 yrs. now she has over 200k subs. we love to see you thrive!
