Okay ladies and gentlemen...here it goes. *Ahem–Ahem*
I've discovered "Against My Will" through Discord chat, and at that time I was looking for a story that would be realistically written, with no CEO's (as someone pointed out earlier), no immediate good-girl-falls-for-bad-guy and vise-versa plots, and no extreme, ridiculous 1-girl-7-guys steamery (I just made this word up, btw). And though I am into fantasy and love to escape reality sometimes, I was not searching for vampires and werewolves and princes and princesses either. I just wanted something that would resonate, something simple yet complex like the life itself, a journey I could relate to: that is what grips the reader, after all.
With that being said, I'd stumbled on Against My Will and the energy I had picked up from this story sucked the life outta me in a very, very good way. Literally. Now, before reading it, I was not too familiar with QT, but listen, as a reader and a writer you must dive into all genres, and Oh! How I'm glad I did!
For me, the author is unmatched in QT series. Bold. Brilliant. Mature. Honest. The grammar is sharp and witty, plot is immersive, conversations are swirling with emotions that you can feel with your skin. Joy and worries you seem to share with the characters. No long descriptions of actions, all those over-detailings that bore the reader to death. To me, conciseness is mastery, and it looks like the author has achieved it. Simplicity, humor, drama, tension, maturity, darkness and beauty...you just open the series and that's it, you're screaming, either because of what Xuan Mu did or of what Bing Shi said. You're looking for something real good? Look no further. It can all be found in this QT story.
I'm writing this review because I want to let the author know how appreciative I am for discovering this diamond, and for continuously updating the story and adding chapters to keep us readers on our toes. Please, never stop writing because it would be a sin. You are too talented and brilliant to ever stop.
And for the readers...I suggest, NO I URGE, you to start reading it right this second...❤️
