Reishi Adept

The way Reishi is woven into the world feels so layered and authentic. I'm curious whether it was based on existing martial arts or entirely a creation of the author.

The story shifts from fast-paced action to more detailed world-building, which worked for me, but I wonder if it might be slow for some readers or if it was a deliberate choice.

The different perspectives added depth but also made me wonder how much planning went into balancing these viewpoints from the start.
