the fug outta here with that boolsheet. As much work as we put into every chapter, just click the button or stop reading the godem story. This aint the Grammies, where you have to distinguish Favs from Likes. Authors want to know you liked the chapter, it doesn't have to be the most favorite of the whole story just click the button to show your appreciation for the hard work the author put in to give you a FREE STORY! fucking ingrates
-_-
Then you might as well just remove that function and just look at the view count. If I read your story, that means I like it enough to continue.
If everyone does as you suggest and automatically favorites every chapter, then the view count and favorite number on each chapter would be exactly the same, and I would be left wondering why both exist. Is it simply there to measure the number of "ingrates" reading your story?
I think the feature is relevant because it can be used by the author to see which chapters are liked or not, which is information he can use to improve his story.
Favorites have no purpose, and they only have value if they are rare. After all, if everything is liked, then that is the same thing as nothing being liked.
As for being an ingrate, that has nothing to do with it. If I want to show my appreciation I will be in the comments, because I value the work of an author giving me his story to read for free much more than that. Even a generic "TFTC '' comment is infinitely more valuable than a mindless button press. That is because human psychology makes us appreciate human praise much more than the rising of a number.
Don’t delude yourself into thinking you have somehow compensated the author for hours of work by pressing a button.
