It doesn’t feel like any of this was planned. It feels like the author just started with the gimmick of a young witch who’s too earnest and naive and kind-hearted to become the manipulative and self-indulgent sybarite she’s expected to be, and who meets a boy who’s just as earnest and naive and kind-hearted as she is, so what was supposed to be just a callous initiation into a life of debauchery becomes an endearingly awkward story of young love, with the added twist that the young witch, raised as she was, has no conception of things like modesty.
But all the way through, the author has been rearranging and expanding the cast and providing background and context for the situations, and with a few fits and starts, it’s really started to come together well and become much more than it was.
I agree that this feels mostly unplanned from the beginning. The author has done a great job of slowly steering things to a longer, more complex story. Really looking forward to more.
This series has really been a surprise.

I’m impressed.
