Wattpad books haram?

I know this isn't a good place to ask this question, but since many of you are around the same age i'm just wondering. I have done a hell of a lot of research, and I am certain that reading wattpad books are haram, not only because it has sexual scenes but because romance itself before marriage is haram and absolutely unacceptable as the Qur'an has said itself. And the wattpad books depict these views and show idealistic men and women in relationships, not only that it often has books where the men in there are highly "bad" people who are undeniably attractive and does haram things such as smoking, drinking, fighting etc. So what i'm wondering, do any of you believe its haram as well? Of course reading books is not haram, but reading books that can have an affect on your thoughts and influence your decisions or anything that goes against islam is considered haram, no?

I've never read Wattpad in my life...
But I am sure that most Muslims would not be inclined to commit sins after they read books which contain them.
If it is a sin, it's probably a very minor one.

Doubt it.
Then again I don't believe that reading book, ebook and fanfiction works about people who do not conform to my religion or choose not to practice any religion constitute sins.

I feel like it's okay to read It if we can control ourselves from doing such things or getting with a person like that. If one can stay sane in his own world, reading about another world in his imagination could not be that big of a sin or a sin at all. Of course it sounds like a really big sin just because its written zina but we are being tested in this world to see if we ourselves don't do such a thing and keeping it in our imagination shows you are faithful to Allah and know your place. If you pray, know Allah is the only god, and you're pure, imagining and reading such thing couldn't bring you any harm unless you let it.

I read 50 shades of grey when I was 12 and I also read After and other similar wattpad books at 13 and i’ve turned out fine so I don’t think it’s haram?
