# Wattpad Complete Data - Research Dataset
The **Wattpad Complete Data** is a comprehensive research dataset that includes all the stories published across the 18 categories available on Wattpad. While this dataset comprises **20,169 stories**, it is difficult to ascertain whether it represents a fully exhaustive collection of all stories on Wattpad. This dataset was curated by identifying the stories that are accessible to a standard user, meaning that these **20,169 stories** are the only ones visible to an average user.
The dataset was compiled in **November 2024**, and it should be noted that additional stories may have been added to the platform after the compilation date.
## Purpose of the Dataset
Wattpad stands as one of the largest repositories of **authentic, original, and imaginative romantic stories**, with over **93 million active users monthly**. The platform offers unique narratives that differentiate it from mainstream literature, thus catering to a niche genre of readers who seek distinctive storytelling experiences.
In the fields of **Machine Learning (ML)** and **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**, this dataset holds immense potential. It is valuable for training domain-specific models, developing specialized language models, and conducting research on **cultural, ethical, and social aspects** inherent in the stories.
This dataset represents one of the first **state-of-the-art (SOTA) releases** from **Sleeping AI**.
