The Satisfied Dragon

The dragons in this story feel more like characters with depth rather than just mythical creatures. I'm curious whether this was inspired by existing folklore or a fresh idea from the author.

The humor made the story so enjoyable, but I also felt the stakes in the romance were genuine. How did the author manage to keep that balance so well?

Every detail about the dragon culture and their relationships felt intentional. I'm wondering if there was a detailed lore bible or if it developed as the story unfolded.
