As a reader, while I do enjoy a good plot and storyline, I find it to be difficult to keep myself engaged if the characters are dull or one dimensional. Some books (or any form of media) can have a great concept, but as far as characters go they feel lifeless or boring. To me, if I don't care about what happens to the characters, then there's no point in continuing the story. That doesn't mean that characters have to be likeable, they just have to be written well. After all, there are characters you love to hate. I guess what I'm trying to say is that as a reader, following the characters and investing in their fate is more important than simply reading for the plot. A book can have an average story but it's the characters that bring it to life.

As for me, the first thing I will look for in a book is the synopsis. I like to know what the book is all about before reading it. It is because it can give me the first overview on what the book is about. If I found that the book has a good overview then only I will proceed to read it. I like books that have a plot twist in the climax and the resolution so that it make me wonder what the ending will be.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, I would like to have some romance aspects in the book. I love to imagine myself as one of the main characters in the story where I can fall in love with prince charming and dance all night in a ballroom. Other than that, I would like to have some dynamic characters inside the story as well. I would like to see the dramatic change of the characters. It shows the liveliness and the complexity in the characters that will make the plot more enjoyable.
Next, I would like to have a happily ever after ending inside the book where all the characters can live with their loved ones. No more despair, sadness, rage, vengeful and regret at the end of the story. All their problems will be solved where no one else will need redemption.
Lastly, I would like to read the description of a handsome character inside the book. I enjoy reading writers' descriptions of their characters to imagine them inside my brain. It is a pure pleasure when all these elements that I like are combined inside a book.

I am mostly a leisure reader so when I am reading a book, I look for any feel-good elements that are able to bring me into the story like the setting and vibe. This just transports me into that world of the story visually and keeps me engaged throughout. Besides, I would also look forward to "the inspired by true events/based on true events" part in the story because parts of truth can truly inspire regardless of how small or big it is.

To see what ideology it exposes/represents in a certain period, or to sense the vitality of the contemporary human life. We will never be able to authentically go back to the past time. The best  feasible way to getting close to facts is through words, languages, books.

As I reader I find it quite easy to get lost in a book's setting. Let's just say its kind of like a form of a safe place for myself. I dont think I'm very particular regarding style of writing but I do hold importance for the genre and plot. Fantasy has always been my personal favorite because aside from the story itself, I like the fact that someone managed to create a whole power system that is not present within reality and yet they are very capable of managing every single detail to fit into the fantasy world mechanism they created. Lastly, what I think is endearing for me in terms of reading is the fact that I like to think that the writers are sharing a vulnerable part of their heart,a piece of their soul if i may, with their readers.

First and foremost, what im looking for in a book as reader is having a great storyline no matter how bored it can be, as we know that we would still be reading it through flip of chapters, having a twisted plot, characters, events that took place in sequence orders, it would be interesting to read,  perhaps create an imagination in reader’s mind through the prescribed scenes..

When I read a book, I usually look at the title of the book to guess the main idea of the book. I will read the synopsis or the prologue of the book to increase my interest. Then, I will continue reading the book and try to figure out the characters, settings and the plot of the story. A character with strong characteristics will help to make the story become interesting. A clear dialogue and sentences helps me to understand more about the content of the book. Besides that, I will figure out the moral of the story in a book and how I can relate it with the real life situation.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, I always pay more attention to the plot of the story, whether it is slow-paced or fast-paced. I easily got distracted when the book does not have a good storyline. If the book has a slow-paced storyline or uninteresting plot, I tend to skip through pages because I just wanted to finish them fast. So, for me, it is important to have a good plot story in order for the readers to keep reading and follow the pace of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I see books as a comforting ‘place’ where the characters are able to articulate the emotions that I fail to express or understand. Hence why the first thing I look for in a book are relatable and imperfect characters with realistic conflicts and internal battles. I tend to look for books with realistic conflicts and endings that can give their readers closure regarding their own life and maybe understand the people around them better. Mainly because I believe that the journey these dynamic characters go through can help me grow more as a person, and help me navigate through life.

As a reader, I always love to read a book that has a very unexpected plot twist. I love the feeling of curiosity and excitement to know what will happen next in the story. Besides, I prefer sad storyline compared to the happy one. I enjoy reading while crying hahaha it is kind of a therapy for me. I love imagining myself in that mournful situation. Next, how the author tried to describe something or any situation in his or her book is also what I always look for. I mean the uses of imagery. I like when the abstract things become more tangible when I am reading a book as it helps me to understand the message better.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, the first thing I would like to look at is the book's synopsis. I love how some writers put good words as a synopsis to attract the buyers to buy their works because I tend to keep in mind before buying books that the overview of the book and the cover itself is the first impression. Although the synopsis comes first, if the story's plot doesn't excite me to keep reading it, I will stop reading it. When I read a book, I can imagine the character and how they behave in the books, so how the characters play their roles is important for me. I love how the writers end their book with a cliffhanger so that I can let my imagination runs wild about how things will go on, and I think it gives me such a curious feeling for their next book.

What am I looking for in a book as a reader? As for me, I usually engage with a book that has great storyline and well-balanced characters. I am not into a book that has redundant plots and lots of climax because I get bored easily. One certain aspect that I look for a book is its language. Sometimes, the language itself can bring realization to me as I can correlate it to my life. Plus, the extra benefit is it can help me hone my English proficiency. As for the genre, I prefer thriller, action and romance. I always seek for unexpected plot twist in a book. It somehow intrigues me and raise my curiosity to know what will happen next.  Other than that, from my point of view, the character’s development must be well written for me to make a book more interesting.

For me, the thing that i always looking for in a book is the storyline and. If its good then im good but if not then im not going to read it.

A person's own life experience is very limited. As a reader, I think books can make readers' inner world very broad and calm. I prefer story-telling and artistic books especially novels. From books I hope to open up a world that I have never seen before through plot, characters and culture.
The world would be a place where I could conmmunicate with myself. It will give strength and direction to my life and thoughts. As a reader, this is what I want to achieve ultimately by reading.

As a reader, I have always paid attention to two aspects, the plot and the review. By reading reviews I can save myself a lot of time (and money huhu). I have people I follow on youtube for book reviews and recommendations such as Cari can read, Jack rewards and emmie. Some of my favourite books are from their recommendation! I also love reading people’s favourite books, i feel like it gives way to a part of their soul and you get to really see what sort of person they are.

As a reader, the first thing I would look for in a book is the title and the cover of the book. By reading the title and looking at its cover, it can actually help me to create a few questions and assumptions regarding the book. For example, “Is the book written based on the writer’s experience? What meaning does the novel's title have? Is there a connection to any of the themes?”. The second thing I would do after that, is reading the synopsis. The synopsis is the most important element of the book because in my opinion, a good synopsis will help to convince the readers to read the entire book. When reading the synopsis, it will not only help to convince me but it also helps to give a few ideas what the book is mainly written about. Last but not least, a good book can be finished in one sitting if the plot and storyline is intriguing.

As a reader, I would honestly view the book cover first. But that applies for those 21st century romance novels, like works of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk or Tess Daly (they literally got me into the reading world).
But talking about literature books, I would go for the theme. I adore books that shows women traits (to be fair, I haven't read much works but it gives me a sense of motivation).
If we're going on a more casual aspect of reading, such as fictions from Wattpad which are written by flourishing new writers who may or may not even have any education on literature, I would honestly go for a action-pack type of work. I have found tons of amazing pieces of writings where they could really bring the readers into that scene - the detail of environment, action, what clothes and what car driven. I admire their ability to describe and narrate. That's what I want to create one day - soulful works that engage readers to go on and on.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, one thing that I look for in a book is a strong plot. For me, it is that simple, because the main purpose of reading a book is to get carried away with the intriguing plot of the story. It gives a quick escape from the real world, which I crave. A fun fact about me is that I enjoy reading thriller stories. The characters or the setting do not matter to me, because  by the second chapter of the book if the plot does not attract me, I would immediately stop reading the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading for me is a window to imagination and experience. I am curious about different eyes, especially the perspective of the unrepeatable part of the minority. They bring infinite possibilities to my limited life. In fact more than plot and characters, I am concerned with what kind of world these constitute and what I feel in the process of reading. Many thoughts and emotions come and go naturally; they ebb and flow like a tide.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, I always looking for something fun in a book. At first, I will look at the book cover if the book have interesting cover, it will for sure caught my attention. I always love to read a book that has a very good storyline in order for me to keep reading it until finish. For me, when I am reading a book, I always want to learn new vocab and improve my writing skill as well. I will always want to identify the messages, moral values and hidden messages in a book. Sometimes, reading a book helps me to imagine things, travel to the place that has been mentioned in the book and help me understand more about others culture and lifestyle.

As a reader, I always read the synopsis first to get to know the gist of the book. Some say 'don’t judge a book by its cover' but for me if the book has a great cover and interesting title also the plot, I will buy the book. The size of the font is also important as I always get distracted if the size of the font is too small. I will surely skip the pages if the book is too thick and with small font. Other than that, the plot is also important for me to engage with the story. I also look for the unexpected twist of event or the characters that the writer wants to convey in the story. Lastly, I can finish the book in just a few days if the book is interesting enough for me.

The most important thing for me when I’m looking for a book is the plot. I love the unexpected and thrilling storyline, which I can’t predict what will happen next. In some books, you can guess what will happen at the end and what the plot twist etc. It will be no longer exciting to read, plus it will waste your time. A good storyline can keep me reading no matter how many pages the book has.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, I always approach a book that got a good reviews and most recommended book from other readers. Pretty sure people will recommend a enjoyable and pleasant to read. A good storyline also can keep me continue to read and finish the book. When I'm buying a book, things that come to my mind how is this book that can help me with my life and with my learning. It more great if it can improve my vocabulary and grammar in my speaking and writing skill.

As a reader, I allow the author to take me into an imaginative world where I can experience fascinating and mind-blowing things that I would not be able to come across in real life. Through reading fiction, I can solve mysteries alongside Sherlock, I can be a close spectacle of the Hogwarts Quidditch competition, or I can indulge in the romance story between the vampire and a human girl. The possibilities of a story are endless, so my joy of reading comes from finding out what ending awaits the protagonist, or how the main characters can resolve the issues that they faced during the climax.

# data[].attributes.body
As a reader, something that I always look for in a book is how much can a book teach me. As in like, what can I learn from reading a book? What are the lessons that I can learn from this story? How can this lessons be applied to my life to make it better? How does reading this book can make me a better individual? If it is something that I read or I watch , I will make sure it is something that benefits me.

As a reader, I would like looking for a book that is not cliché for me to read. Sometimes, I would like to choose books from the same author as I like the writing style. Next, the book needs a strong opening as I need to get my whole mood to start reading. A captivating story and character development in the plot are very important for me to stimulate my mind and imagination. The plot of the story should be understandable and make sense to me so that I can imagine the setting, the characters and the mood better.

Hello everyone. If me, the storyline is the most important feature that can make me attach and excited to any novel. I'm easily attach to any storyline that depict a character life that start from zero to hero. I just love to know and follow their development along the story especially when the character is the one who's not easily give up in any hurdle that's coming on his way. It just make me always motivated running my life.
