L'Audacieux Monsieur Swift

The protagonist's manipulative nature made me wonder what real-life influences or personal experiences shaped this portrayal. Was this a reflection of something the author observed in society?

His moral ambiguity kept me questioning whether he's a villain or a product of his environment. How do others interpret his motivations and choices?

The pacing and reveal of character insights felt carefully crafted. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the beginning or developed during writing.
