00:02:20 - Maybe you think that being visited on some fairy tales is quite boring because we already know those stories.

00:02:34 - Also, the personalities of the characters are totally different,

00:02:38 - And personally, I consider that the way in which the author is putting together the stories of our protagonist is incredible.
