The balance between realism and storytelling made the military aspects feel compelling. I wonder what inspired the author to focus on hierarchical dynamics in a sci-fi context.

The tension between duty and personal morality was intense, but I kept wondering if the characters’ decisions felt authentic or rushed. How did others interpret their motivations?

The pacing felt well-balanced, but I’m curious whether that was a conscious choice or evolved during drafting. Did the focus shift during revisions?
