The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

The gods in this world feel so human and complex—I'm curious if the author drew from historical political conflicts or created something entirely new.

The gods are depicted with so much nuance—sometimes they're benevolent, other times manipulative. It made me wonder about the line between divine and human morality.

The setting feels so rich and layered, almost like a character itself. I'm interested in whether the author planned this intricate universe from the start or let it evolve organically.
