Tempting the Bride - Rayuan Sang Kekasih

Their witty banter and evolving feelings kept me hooked, but I wonder how much of that was planned versus organic. Did the author intentionally build this slow burn or let it develop naturally?

The setting feels so vivid and immersive, making the characters' struggles and societal expectations come alive. I'm curious whether specific research or personal interest shaped this choice.

There was a lot of character introspection and social maneuvering, which made me wonder if that was necessary to deepen the story or if it could have been trimmed for more impact.
