SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the researchers found out that Wattpad has become part of the
participant-readers lives. Wattpad appears to be playing a big role not just a medium
for reading but also as a medium that gratifies the participants’ emotion and cognitive
needs and wants. Despite Wattpad being an online library of millions of fiction stories,
the things that it imparts on the readers prove to be significant and can be applied in
reality. Based on our study, the researchers find out that the most of the readers on
wattpad and eBook are female whose ages fall between pre-teenage. Wattpad and
eBook is a form of technology and most of its stories are written by the youth, its
audience would also be consisting of young readers who can easily relate with the
content.
The participants, were also as to what makes them continue reading on wattpad.
It was found out that they remain as readers because of the emotional satisfaction and
learning satisfaction they get. They simply see wattpad as a form of pleasure and
relaxation. They find a connection whenever they read because they can relate to the
stories. Furthermore, the stories help them emotionally by boosting their self-esteem,
giving them hope and anticipation and releasing their sadness and heartaches. Aside
from the emotional fulfillment, it was also discovered that wattpad is a source of
learning. The participants revealed that they learn many things from wattpad that they
apply in their own lives. For instance, wattpad enhances their creativity, imagination,
and vocabulary knowledge. It also teaches them to become open-minded and gives
them ideas as preparation for their future. In a way, wattpad provides solutions to their
problems and influences them to change their beliefs. It also serves as a way towards
there’s a possibility that it will be having a negative effect in the readers. The continuous
engagement of the participants on wattpad leads them to become addicted to it. They
revealed that they devote most of their time reading on it, to the point that they skip
meals, forget to take a bath, disobey their parents and do not bother reviewing for their
exams and finishing household and school-related chores, and also they sleep late at
night.
