Do you know what the most common response in my comments section/inbox is?
'There are lots of good books on Wattpad you just have to find them!'
Well, how the fuck am I supposed to find them with some shitty one-entry search engine with a stupid algorithm?

How to organise your search and sort in order on A03 & ff.net:
Word Count
Hits (views)
Favourites/Follows (votes)
Fandom
Pairing
Characters
Crossovers
Rating (more than just 'mature', there are like 5)
F/F, M/M, F/M etc.
Additional tags
Complete/Recently Updated
In other words, it's pretty fucking easy to find what you want to read.

And then there's Wattpad like:
Enter keyword ____, and you're lucky now you can 'refine by tag'.
*proceeds to come up with some shitty twelvie fic with 7K views that hasn't been updated since 2015*
WHY
CREATE A PROPER SEARCH ENGINE
If sites that run little (ff) to (A03) no ads, rely almost entirely on crowdfunding donations, have a beautiful amazing search engine, Wattpad has no excuse for a site valued at 400 MILLION DOLLARS!

This year Wattpad changed its motto from 'Stories You'll Love' (haha wonder why you had to change that lol) to 'Where Stories Live'...
Well, there's no point in having 500 MILLION STORIES live here if you can't fucking find the ones you want to read!
