《How To Get Reads, Votes, and Comments - A Guide》Introduction

How do I get more reads, votes, and comments?
I have been asked this question with more and more frequency and each time I've done my best to tell the person who's asking, how, at least from my perspective, to achieve those goals.
But it takes a lot of time to write down the answer, and it's hard to say all the really important things I want to say in an inbox message or comment on my profile, so I thought I'd put it all down in a book. Now my answers will hopefully be more thought out, and therefore more helpful to anyone who asks for my advice, or cares about my opinion.
I'm giving you fair warning that you might find me to be a bit preachy as I have some strong opinions on writing and the Wattpad community. If you have any questions I don't address, don't be shy about asking. I always answer questions people post here.
You can take the advice I give in this guide, or not, but either way I wish you happy writing and much success with your Wattpad journey. :)
Cheers!
Katherine

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Nocturne
A man, alone and lacking in prospects, finds out that sometimes the things that you wish for are overshadowed by a cold, but sexy, reality. Come join Scott as the former soldier travels across the land, searching far and wide... in a world filled with sexy monster girls who want nothing more than to find a better life. Also, this is both a satire and a parody (yes, a thing can be both) of Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and a few other things. So, don't take it too seriously despite the first few chapters, or I'll punish you in the name of that big floaty thing in the sky. Mature Content Warning: Sexual situations, extreme graphic violence, and coarse language abound. Due to the nature of this story, its content is not suitable for anyone.

Blood and Shadow
On the eve of his discharge from the army, a soldier, Seth, and the rest of his team get roped into a suicide mission by their General. Armed with runescrived weapons, armors, and items, they're sent to investigate the ruined temple of a fallen god. Author's aside here: I am writing this mostly to improve my writing and storytelling skills. During the course of developing and writing the first volume of this project, I've learned a lot, but I've also come to realize I have so much more to learn. I appreciate any and all suggestions, comments, corrections, and observations if they are, of course, reasonable. I hope you genuinely enjoy the story.
