Die Nacht des Adlers

The mix of genres created a unique universe, but I'm curious whether the author envisioned this fusion from the start or developed it during writing.

While I appreciated the character relationships, sometimes the romantic moments pulled me out of the high-stakes adventure. What was the intention behind balancing these elements?

The universe feels richly layered, and I wonder whether a detailed lore bible existed or if these elements grew organically during the writing process.
