The research data is gathered through observation and interviews. The collected data from interviews were organized, analyzed, coded, and interpretedto analyzed the data. The data analysis was performed to assess the digital multimodal narrative text composition. Wattpad, as a digital multimodal composing medium, helps students understand the subject, makes the learning process more interesting, increases students' motivation, and improves their writing skills, according to this study. Although many students enjoy reading stories on Wattpad, some prefer to read narrative texts in textbooks, while others claim that Wattpad takes up a lot of storage on the device.
