Die schwarze Flut

The story's atmosphere felt so immersive and foreboding — I wonder what influenced the author's choice to make it so gritty and serious.

While I loved the world-building, the story took a bit of a detour here. Was that intentional to deepen the stakes or a natural flow?

There were moments of quiet reflection that felt so meaningful, but I was curious if that was planned to contrast with the epic battles.
