Women & Wattpad Hallucination

Books and novels have been my favorite since I was little. I collect a lot of various types of genres that help me to live and develop. I really trust the tips and guidelines that the author made. They are truly the light of life.

However, the development of books is changing towards digital. It's not just a matter of physicality, but the independent contribution that goes on and is involved in the creation of every novel and book. Did people in the past ever think that the author's contribution made them rich? JK Rowling has proven it, so you can do it too.

Today, Wattpad is the greatest example of how many creative writers' contributions come to life. There are various genres there that you can see and read. I also think a lot of the stories have been physically written and even made into big films. This shows that the quality of the writing on Wattpad is so good and reliable.

One of the works that I read there is Hired to Love. More than 40 million times read and there are about 1 million more people vote. Hired to Love tells the story of Henley's sacrifice being forced to marry Bennett. This is all it takes to free his brother who is stuck in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The more she comes into contact with Bennett's world, Henley feels closer and has feelings of falling in love with Bennett. Also, she was willing to sacrifice everything. For more of the story, you can see it here, so I don't want that divulge any important spoilers.

Then in other novels, I also recommend you to read the Billionaire's Maid in Disguise. Here, tells about the struggle of a woman named Pia Rose. She was forced to work for Mr. Stavrakos relying on the position of his ailing aunt. But, it isn't easy because not just anyone is allowed to set foot in Mr. Stavrakos’s home and can work there. Then, Pia Rose has no better chance than disguised to work. So, does Pia Rose qualify and can stay at Mr. Stavrakos’s home? And what next? You can read the story here. I really don't want to ruin your day with spoilers.

So, those are the two stories I'm currently reading that I find quite interesting. As a man, of course this isn’t my favorite genre. But, I just want to understand how women's point of view on the criteria for favorite men on Wattpad and the difference in the real world. What are women really looking for on Wattpad? A motivation or revenge for their love failure? Most of the readers of novels in this world are women, as well as writers. Thus, I need answers to their underlying impulses in the novel world.

I quite understand that the men who are in the novel are represented as ideal men with established jobs, handsome and generous towards women and are often depicted as rich men who have a nice chest, are athletic have a sixpack. Thus, sexual attraction arises.

But in the real world, it isn’t like that. Most of the leaders of world-famous companies are those who are old, have distended stomachs and don't have time to take care of their faces and body because all their days are spent just for work. If there are, they only exist in movies or it could be a man who only relies on his parent's inheritance to become the head of a company.

I don't want to say that most stories on Wattpad are trash that keeps on updating and repeating itself. This is also because the market is already crowded. So, the beginners on Wattpad just make up stories, plagiarizing each other or maybe the market for readers who really want a romance story like that instead of memorizing terms from the supernatural, sci-fi genre that is hard to remember.

I don’t know why. The sure thing is if it's interesting, has something or different values (regardless of genre) I'll definitely give it a try. There are many ways to make a good story. At least, you shouldn’t care about the number of readers but think about the quality first. I hope that the writers find the loophole and can write better.
