Craving Beauty - Si Cantik dari Padang Pasir

The protagonist's journey felt both personal and universal. I'm curious whether this was based on real experiences or purely fictional.

The story slowed down at times but then picked up again — was this intentional to deepen character development or a natural flow?

The spice level felt just right, adding intimacy without overpowering the story. Wondering if this was a deliberate choice to enhance character growth.
