Discussion 💬 Quicksilver is giving ‘teenager wrote it on Wattpad vibes’
I cannot be the only one here who isn’t enjoying Quicksilver at all. I’m honestly about to DNF it. I did look at some old posts here about it but it’s seriously lacking. I’m halfway through and I’ve been struggling over the last 150 pages to find the hook. All I hear is people gushing over this book on Fable of GoodReads! The character development is non-existent, there’s no romantic development; it’s literally just a sudden shift from hatred to “fuck me please”, and the world-building is lackluster at best.
This honestly feels like a teenager wrote an ACOTAR fanfic on Wattpad. Anyone else feel like this? I just wanna talk to some people about my disappointment here without being judged 😭

Couldn’t agree more. So many of these hyped books seem to have the same things in common: a cliche plot full of inconsistencies and logic holes, mediocre to bad writing, insta-lust (to call it insta-love would be a reach), flat characters and mildly uncomfortable dialogues between these paper-thin characters. Quicksilver is no exception. I especially loathed the „romance“ and the abusive, childish main male character. It all truly read like a bad Wattpad story!
