Brutal

The action scenes felt visceral and raw, but I wondered how much of that was planned versus developed during writing. Did the fight choreography influence the character relationships?

It was satisfying to see their bond deepen, but also bittersweet at times. I’m curious if the author drew from personal experiences or just crafted it from imagination.

The gritty gym environment added a lot of authenticity, but I wonder if the author has a background in martial arts or if it was thoroughly researched.
