愛しき美女と野獣は

The modern twists and characterizations felt fresh while still paying homage to the fairy tale. I wonder what inspired the specific changes or updates.

Their personal growth and the slow burn romance made me really root for them. Was that the intention from the start or did it develop naturally during writing?

The historical details added richness to the story, and I’m curious whether the author chose a specific era to enhance the fairy tale atmosphere.
