I know there are many comparisons with Beauty and the Beasts but there are some differences and pros that I like better. I like that the MC seems to listen to her beast partners and they come to more of a collective decision on what to do, since they both have knowledge…she has the info from her guide and they’ve lived there since birth. Even though all of her partners are predators and compete for her love nothing trumps her health. The white tiger partner is more mature and considerate of her other partners much like the white tiger from Beauty and the Beasts, but the Black snake partner is more insecure due to being bullied/exiled and less possessive then red snake from B&B. Her wolf partner is similar to the leopard from B&B in wanting to have sex with her often to reaffirm their bond, but the wolf partner’s father was neglected/abandoned by his partner and he has a dormant fear of it happening to him. Both have bird partners with complications, in B&B her snake partner nearly killed her bird partner then he returned the favor by nearly killing him. RBW’s red bird partner is arrogant since he’s so strong and thinks he can easily charm the MC. One thing that I like better in B&B is that the female partner gets a tattoo that proves their bond and some power like increased strength or speed. One thing that confuses me is that the females look so human and don’t get abilities from the beast their modeled after. And since humans don’t exist in these world I’d think the MC had to prove her worth more and that she’s not a threat, but everything’s alright as long as she’s pretty.
