I just checked the popular pages section. When I change the settings to most views in last 4 weeks, one of my pastas is on the first page (I think). The pasta is called In The Trees, and it has fucking 76 VIEWS only!

For comparison, Green has exactly 14 OF HIS PASTAS on the first page of the Popular Pages section (set it to last 4 weeks), and his most popular one is "Why Won't You Add Me", at 241 views. Name Plays has 3 pastas on the first page, and his most popular one is Ienai, at 252 views.

Now, this is not meant to disrespect Green and Name. It's good that their pastas are getting recognition. Maybe they just appeal to the readers well, I don't know.

But, what's the point of writing something, when nobody cares about it? I spend so much time thinking of stories, visualising them, then writing them down, just to see that the story gets 20 views and then never gets seen again. I have no motivation to write anything at this point, just because I know that the story will just be buried and never seen again.

Maybe it's simply that my stories are shit, and nobody likes them? Or I don't know, I can't explain why does this happen to me. All I know is that I have little to no motivation to write stories. Dude. I have 43 stories. 43 FUCKING STORIES AND NONE EVEN HAVE 10 COMMENTS!!!! DEAL WITH IT LMAO!!!! I ALSO ONLY HAVE ONE QUALITY PASTA!!!! It is all about who reads your story. You get more normal ordinary readers who won't edit, they just read. I usually only get people who edit the wiki, which means less readers, but more people who can give me the Quality Pasta rating, and comment. You get more random people who are less likely to have an account, lessening the amount of Quality Pastas you get, and decreasing your comment/view ratio. What matters is the amount of people who read your stuff, where you obviously by far overshadow me.
