   "The Unwilling Heart" suddenly felt like a long-neglected, broken part, losing its original vitality, leaving readers feeling sad and particularly helpless. So, I came here again, trying to see if it could be reborn. Close to reality, yet detached from it, the comments section says it's a novel that leaves readers feeling stifled, even evoking a sense of venting. It's hard to call "The Unwilling Heart" a highly narrative-driven online novel, but seeing some liking and support is still gratifying. After all, not everyone wants to spend time reading something boring and lacking in substance. Calling it emotionally realistic is perhaps an understatement; it's more like a fantastical story without a clear concept. I just don't know if it will attract attention.
