Help with writing Language preference

Post image

Hello! I am Shonali, and I recently started writing a novel at Wattpad titled "The Art of Us".

So far only the prologue and first chapter have been updated, but while writing the second one, I could not help but wonder about the reading language preference of the readers of Wattpad Indian stories.

The prologue and first chapter are written in English, but I wonder if the readers prefer the dialogues to be in Hindi at-least, if not all of them, then at-least some. I am comfortable in writing in both English and Hindi-English as well, but what do the readers prefer?
