Für den Imperator

The pacing felt very action-driven, but I also cared about the characters' personal stakes. I wonder what led to that balance in storytelling.

The world-building added a layer of depth that made the battles feel more meaningful. Were these intricacies planned from the start or developed during writing?

Seeing the war through this character's eyes gave it a personal touch, but I’m curious whether the author had a different main character in mind initially.
