Knight in Shining Suit

The title suggests a fairy-tale vibe, but I wonder how the author decided to blend that with contemporary themes. Was it inspired by personal experiences or a desire to subvert traditional tropes?

The playful tone kept me engaged, but I’m curious if others felt the humor enhanced or distracted from the emotional stakes of the story.

The story felt steady without rushing, but I wonder if the pacing was planned to build anticipation or if it evolved during writing.
