While like Beauty and the Beast, it's better due to the characters having more genuine interaction. MC is more relatable as well.

So Alva is Molly's mate then?

This kinda took me back with Curtis's kiss being described. Honestly, if I was Bai, I probably would've gotten sick to my stomach. I really don't like fish smell and that would be game over for me ...

I like how it's a lot more relevant that he makes her clothes and how important it is to him

awhhh, Novel Curtis is so much sweeter than Manga Curtis 🥰
