Uhmm... I'm not a techy person so I don't know how difficult creating this feature will be. But I am hoping. I'm hoping that readers will be notified of new chapters of the story they're reading. It's quite a bummer to see a story I've read, buried in the piles of more fictions I follow, and then after a month of hiatus/dormant just updated a new chapter. A bummer, indeed. I don't have an example but think of it. What if it actually happens? The author got a sign from the sea of stars that they should continue the story.
To add, it might also increase author-reader interaction and site engagement. Who knows?
Edit: based on the replies below, we also have to consider the insane amount of notifications if this were to be implemented. And I wholly agree. Others gave an example of a much better way to handle this kind of thing like letting readers follow the author and the author post an update on their profile so they'll be notified. Others suggested letting readers sort the stories on their own profiles. And there could be so much I mightve missed. Also, the site mods/owners might also have a different idea to make this kind of feature. So let's just reserve it to them.
