Die Zeitbestie

The mix of gritty tech and vast space settings felt seamless, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice or evolved during writing. What inspired this unique combination?

The aliens are intriguing but often enigmatic. I was curious whether this ambiguity was intentional to build suspense or if more clarity was planned.

The layered world-building and tech details added depth, but I wonder if the complexity made it harder for some readers to follow. Did this serve the story or challenge the pacing too much?
