      REALLY?? I find the tagging and search system on ao3 to be SO much more intuitive, like the ability to exclude certain tags, search multiple tags, key word searches, tags that mean the same thing being consolidated (i.e. character x reader all being filed under character/you so that it all comes up under one search regardless of which tag you type in), sorting by word count or hits or kudos or date, etc. Is something I find sorely lacking on ANY other fic platform. I don't even know how to get everything from a specific tag to come up on wattpad, it seems to just default to showing the most popular ones???
