Am I Using The Right Platform?

Ah, OK. I haven't tried Wattpad myself, but it's popular and I think people have ended up with salable novels off of it. What didn't you like about it, just out of curiosity?

Honestly? 1. It is far more geared towards publishing than I am ready for with the stories that I would want to share and 2. It didn't feel like my readership. The titles were very dark, there was a lot Grimdark on there, lots of YA as well and I just didn't see myself or my writing fitting in. If you look >Discover >Fantasy >Mythology the first ranked book in the "hot" section is a novel called Mermaids and the Vampires Who Love Them. It was also a Wattpad Award Winner. So that is obviously the genre most like and... Just didn't think I would do well.
