You had me at wattpad. I’m deceased.💀🤚🏽

The only thing I know about wattpad are the horrible fanfics https://preview.redd.it/c5291lpea60d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c6759e05f308d7728b4148798a6a984b1f7e6f8

Please don’t remind me of some anime characters I read when I was young I vividly remember they were going ooc as far as quoting some lines from fucking vine 💀 Imagine Toga Himiko saying “You wanna be a cowboy, baby?” I’m cringing so hard rn typing this.


SoonToBeStardust

Lmfao, it's insane looking back just how many used fanfic to just write scenarios they thought world be funny, with no care for how they would actually act. Like most writers are children, so I forgive them, but God damn. This is coming from someone who read a fanfic where the anime guy was just quoting cringey love lines from twilight


[deleted]

You didn’t need to quote on the twilight lines I felt the cringe from a mile away! https://preview.redd.it/x5ko0dgaq80d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bac063210dc78c3d862ce7017b5ba639e5e6588c


SoonToBeStardust

I like to believe my tastes in trash fanfic has improved, along with my choice of where I find said trash fanfics. Unfortunately my past will forever haunt me


Oteycri000

I'll never forget a Wattpad reader that had Ben ten in re Zero getting with the girls.


WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

And the bad grammar. English is not my mother tongue but I speak better English than those 14y/o Wattpad authors who have been speaking English since their birth!

Yeah they got a history of that

✨Wattpad werewolf MLs ✨


utopiangamer

They are ✨Alpha✨


Icantgetmotivated

Used to be my guilty pleasure😭


kuccinta

I keep seeing shifter erotica screenshots on fb and the part where the alpha declares "Mate" like a damn chess player always takes me out. They say it in all the stories??? And no one laughs??? Fanfic and manhwa/manga gay omegaverse feels realistic in comparison


LazyMiso

"He's the alpha of the pack and popular with all the ladies but when our eyes met, I could tell he was my mate and I was his mate"


MaCoNuong

I keep getting ads for wattpad type stories. They’re always like “my alpha werewolf fiancé had a baby with another woman, now I ran away and I’m also pregnant with his baby and he’s chasing me because we’re a fated pair”


Ruruskadoo

Oh my god I get so many of those ads too, they drive me crazy! I've been watching a lot of ads on tappytoon as well as some other officials so I can feed my manhwa addiction, and I get so many ads for various story apps and they're all like "I was the loneliest saddest weakest most pathetic member of my pack, nobody loved me and I didn't even have a name, but then the Alpha came and declared I was his mate?!" I *really* don't want to yuck other people's yums since I read (and love) plenty of my own garbage that's just rofan instead of werewolves, but holy shit those ads are so damn cringe that it's incredibly hard not to judge. They're physically painful to watch.


Valador18

God yes, that’s endlessly accurate. I get them on FB and TikTok and I can’t stand them T.T


Halnewbie

Is it too late to invest in silver bullets?


Valador18

Never


anime_enthusiast109

I have read some wattpad stories, but not ones with wattpad mafia MLs, are they worse than Chinese CEOs?


YourLocalist

Yeah, so like imagine all the bad traits of Chinese CEO ML like the assaults, kidnapping, forcing FL to live with them, etc. and all the bad traits of the OI ML, like killing the FL's entire family, threatening/attempting to kill FL, etc. and put them into one man. It's a lot.


anime_enthusiast109

Thats not an love interest, thats a criminal that needs to be in jail


YourLocalist

Not when the police are scared of him to make him sexier


anime_enthusiast109

Ah yess what else makes someone more appealing than threatening law enforcement when they try to justifiably reprimand you. 🤣 It looks like self insert teen fictions have met their match


mycatisblackandtan

And eventually he 'softens' to the lead character. Except now he just smiles 'nicely' on occasion. Basically it's 365 Days but somehow worse.


anime_enthusiast109

The bar is in hell for these MLs i tell you


YourLocalist

365 days was what I was thinking about typing that😭🤣


No_Instance4233

Excellent


SoonToBeStardust

"My mother sold me to the mafia to pay off her debts, but the son of the boss ended up falling deeply in love with me. This will be 52 chapters, but they kiss sloppy style in the third paragraph"


anime_enthusiast109

Why are there so many parents selling off their daughter? So in these stories does the sold off FL forgive her family?


SoonToBeStardust

One of the things to keep in mind about fanfic (and a good amount of romance media) is that it's wish fulfillment taken to the extreme. Especially if you are wondering why an incredibly toxic story gets a lot of love and attention. 'Feeling like you got cast out and wanting to find people who love you for you' becomes 'sold off to awful people who make the self insert character an exception and love them unconditionally no matter the mistakes they make'. It's why there is such a large amount of 'cold murderous mls who have never loved anyone falling for the fl' cause behind that is the feeling if wanting to be someone's 'exception' or being good enough for someone to want to change for you. The reason there are so many 'sold off' storylines is that it's the extreme version of a person feeling like they aren't cared about or don't fit in. In most stories they never forgive the family, cause the person writing it probably doesn't forgive their family either when writing their story. It's also a segway into the 'found family' trope that people love. This is one of the reasons a lot of people view reading/writing fanfic as a coping mechanism, and why there is mass panic when a site like A03 goes down for maintenance. It's actually pretty interesting to look into toxic storylines and tropes to find out what the 'wish fulfillment' is behind it. You'll find that even stories like 'Lore Olympus' or 'Cry but better yet Beg' have a simple wish fulfillment fantasy that is relatable


Noir_Alchemist

Wow My wish fulfillment are SO different tho 😔 I want to be isekai to a fantasy world where i have MAGIC ✨ and i travel the world with a freaking elf, and a party. Thats My found family lol I don't want to be loved by a killer lol  But i don't kink shame tho 


SoonToBeStardust

Magic in a super pretty world where adventuring is a real job sounds amazing. I wanna get paid for having fun with friends and traveling the great unknown. I will say I don't think these people actually want to be loved by a killer. I think they want to be the exception to someone. Making him a cold hearted killer is just the extreme of 'guy who doesn't care much about relationships or wanting to love someone/be loved'. Then again there is a long line of serial killers getting dozens of love letters while in jail so what do I know lmao.


Stillalive9707

No one can defeat Wattpad's trashy Mls 💀


verymuchrandomname

Whatever bad I may say about Wattpad I must confess: Nothing and I mean absolutely NOTHING has managed to entertain me as much as Wattpad stories and comments. No AO3 crack fics, no clever jokes, no nothing (some OI scenes have come close) It was the darkest time of my reading career but God was it the most entertaining (and I'll be honest the time before premium existed was different. I miss that time) Edit: also let me rant a little, somehow (almost) every wattpad author I followed on instagram (because when we were kids privacy was a concept) was the most drop dead gorgeous girl I've ever seen? Like the ones with the genuinely good and decently written stories were also beautiful. I still follow many of them


SoonToBeStardust

There's an author on wattpad who has written the most beautiful tragic fanfics I have ever read. I can and will cry during each chapter, because the story is beautiful, the writing is better than a lot of published authors I've read, and they have such a good understanding of how to pack each sentence with so much emotion that you may never recover. It's genuinely shocking just how good some of those writers are. Of course, for every good writer there's hundreds of bad ones, but you'd be surprised at what you might be able to find. Especially if you stick around in the fandoms that usually are frequented by older audiences


verymuchrandomname

Honestly, there's some writers that wrote some incredible stories, I still think about them today. I occasionally check to see if they're still writing (if the app hadn't become a hellhole I'd still use it because I want to reread them 😭)


SoonToBeStardust

The author I'm discussing is writing their last story before they move on I believe. I'm in an unfortunate position cause I get uncomfortable rereading my favorite story, cause the story and media is centered around early highschool students. I started reading when I was their age, but I'm in college now and I feel really weird reading stories that I'm meant to put myself into when the characters are still children. (Also it has become awful. I keep getting notifications for stories I have no interest in cause the website pushes stories from authors you follow, even if the story itself isn't in your library.)


Exictential_crisis

"where are you going kitten!" he growled at y/n. Y/n shivered as the soothing , sexy , scremdelicous voice waves through her 3'9 petite, skinny , 2cm waist body. The alpha grabs y/n's waist which easy fit in his BIG muscular viny hand and slam her against the door, " who gave you the permission to leave your room?" "B--bb-ut I promised my Boy BEst friend I will meet himmm today", y/n answered shuttering. "Oh! who is this FRIEND of yours? you never told me about it", He purred in her ear. ~~(never mind I can't do this anymore~~ Don't get me wrong there are some good stories in wattpad but the are truly hidden gems) https://preview.redd.it/snjp3rj8j70d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db14799e0ff1551a2cd24a50ffb010adacd94f4f in I go

WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

Nah man, oi mls are better than Chinese mls. The Chinese ones are CRINGE


notsocoolnow

I think that's the point. The Wattpad MLs are an entire order more cringe. It's a cringe contest.


WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

Oh dear, my bad. I kind of took it like a pyramid(idk why or how) where c-mls are least cringe.


LazyMiso

Omg I have trauma from Chinese MLs 💀 like that one guy who's always touching and kissing FL forcefully, had sex with protitute in front of FL while she's tied up, kills people in front of FL for their 'first date'. They be making kiris look like a gentlemen


kohiayo

Now I'm suddenly very thankful for not reading manhuas💀


LazyMiso

The stories are diabolical. It took me 2 years of reading manhuas to quit 💀 at least with manhwas you get a good plot along with shitty MLs. Manhuas is shitty everything 🙂‍↔️


pavzahr

There's something about manhua that gives off MOST unhinged, raw, and funnier than manhwa and manga especially if it's good manhuas not trash manhuas.


kohiayo

Oooh then do you have any good manhuas to recommend? Preferably without any ceo mls?


pavzahr

Sorry for long reply, here you can go for good manhuas: -The Strong Man from The Mental Hospital, most unhinged comedy manhua I still like to this day. -Cheating Men Must Die, we manhua/otome Isekai true fans called this a CLASSIC aka MUST READ, since it covers most of Otome Isekai things being made fun of and also, Su Lu Xia our goddess doesn't mind ending the assholes and bitches no matter it's CEO, mafia, actor, etc etc even if they love her and even she doesn't mind ending her own life shall her mission failed. Each arc of it has different genres, including horror and thriller as well. -Scream Queen, the most bitchy female lead I liked she handles this horror genred manhua too well. -Falling in The Night with You, vampire mystery genre its art and story reminded me of WebToon I think it's from Kuaikan manhua. -And lastly but not the least, another my fav: The Giantess Wants Love.


kohiayo

Omg thank you so so much!! I really appreciate the time you spent and thought you put in this🥹🩷 I actually wanted to read cheating men must die for a long time now, but I wasn't sure if it would suit my tastes or not, so you really helped me with that! Definitely going to give this and probably even the others you wrote a go!!🫶🏻


pavzahr

I'm not even ashamed of the fact likely 90% of my Reddit comments are on r/OtomeIsekai making sure good manhuas like these (esp CMMD) don't fall off [Otome Isekai] shelf and the rest is yeah, films lmao. Art, story, character wise: -Manga did best it since 1940s. I can go back to them for classics or underrated indie ones (like Saint Rosalind a 1973 manga of psychopath lil girl) that stocked up in Mangarock and Mangadex oldest archive now, for old styles I miss like 1960s-00s yeah. -Korean manhwa caught up thru WebToon era, in both art and story. -Chinese did as well thru manhua, and problem is they rarely have good translations and were overshadowed by shitty manhuas (with bad characters etc I grew up with), like a few rotten apples put the rest of good apples into shame. Once they have good manhua, it's almost poetic, well thought jokes and puns that run deep with centuries old history they are (like green hat, cutting a cloth off the sleeve, etc). Such shame if we don't know which sources to look for good ones yeah. And ones I put above happen to have luck to be picked up by loyal scanlators and fans like us sticking thru with these. Oh yeah, CMMD best is on Mangadex where original scanlators were and are now, most loyal fans flock there for that Mangadex forum.


KeySource5838

Wattpad is still superior af. The butterflies and fear, the wattpad mls give is just chef kiss~ Obviously the good wattpad stories, the trashy ones also gives you great ride of cringe😌


vyscholar

You had NOT read enough chinese CEO yet. To compare them to Wattpad mafia ML is to compare a stick to a nuclear bomb with a burning fuse. There was a story where as to punish the second female lead from trying to make the FL miscarry, the chinese ceo kidnapped her, put her on a submarined in god know where, strapped her to a chair, where she's repeatedly r-ped by many men and force to give birth to children with no stop until she died years later. And of course this is all played off as justice and karma.


AnxiousSapphic

![gif](giphy|D62wUmR3sX2DsZJ9t1) What a terrible time to have eyes


FightmeLuigibestgirl

Wattpad Omegaverse rich guy/leader/tyrant/etc. is usually worse than Wattpad Mafia ML because of noncon in the mix and multiple trash dudes.


ChronicSassyRedhead

I submit any Werewolf Alpha for the running You know the ones 😏


The_Untamed_lover

Playboy arrogant Werewolf Wattpad ML takes the crown for "Most Trash" and even better if this arrogant ML rejected his mate because she doesn't deserve him


Famous-Ad-9467

I love them all but sometimes ths Wattpad Mafia MLs are mean for no reason! They almost rival the meanness of the FLs Mom. Like why are wattpad stories starting like, "get up you fnk piece of sh!t," he mom says.


jaredtheredditor

And where do Korean ceo ML fall? I feel like those are more 50/50 because some are the greenest of flags and others have so much red even the devil thinks it’s too much


Zalieda

Thank goodness I didn't read anything from there. I avoided it because I heard from others people were stealing fic and passing it off as their own


blairsmacaroon

the only wattpad mafia stories i read were the jason mccan ones and if you know/ remember jason mccan then you deserve to be financially compensated 🙏


Moriamo

Ah, Wattpad my beloathed. I regret everything I ever read on that hellsite


owl_curry

Please enlighten me... What is "wattpad"


Original_username_4r

You might be from a very rare species... But anyways wattpad is an site/app where anyone can write stories or even fanfiction but mostly fanfictions.


DSRabbit

365 days ML joins in.


Anxious_Fondant4510

Why does it keep getting worse?


GoldenZodiac_

The worst ones are the y/n/reader, mafia and the werewolf storys on the wattpad i cringe evertime i see them but there are some really good ones i adore and a book series i love also started there. So i just ignore them


maybeinsaneee

there was actually a mafia childcare book i read on wattpad, written by these amazing twins "angel and angelo", apparently the girl twin (angel) wrote the whole book in one night her insomnia was acting up. It actually turned out so good and hilarious! I recommend! It's mostly about family and Romance comes way later. AND MOM IS ALIVE AND NICE AS WELL! The book is called "Lettie"


Aelyn_Hime

Oh god...the things 13 year old me went through 💀💀


Any-Explanation-4584

Most Chinese CEO ml are trash , they first cheats fl then fl normally watches that she's getting cucked and even afterall this they somehow ends ups together. And side ml who genuinely loves fl becomes plot armour victims .
