Gunmetal Gods

The setting feels immersive and gritty, but I wondered how much was planned from the start versus developed during writing. Did this affect character arcs?

The moral ambiguity added depth but also made me question what I would do in similar situations. Was this intentional to challenge reader sympathies?

The way faith and power intertwine gave the story a layered complexity. I'm curious whether real-world history influenced these choices.
