Das höllische Paradies

The world-building feels so immersive and thought-provoking. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this setting from the start or developed it as the story progressed.

The idea of a society obsessed with perfect health raises questions about freedom and conformity. How did others feel about the social critique embedded in the story?

The blend of fantasy and dystopia makes the themes more vivid, but I'm wondering if the fantastical aspects were chosen to make the critique more accessible or impactful.
