An Einer Fernen Küste

The setting feels so vivid, but I wonder if there was a conscious choice to prioritize the characters' personal journeys. Did the historical research influence this balance?

While I loved the immersive details, I found myself wanting more action or interaction. Was this intentional to build atmosphere or a natural result of the storytelling style?

The shifting viewpoints added depth, but I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing to enhance the themes of discovery.
