The Second Korean War

The novel feels very timely and plausible—I'm curious what research or events influenced these scenarios and if the author drew from real-world tensions.

In such a high-stakes conflict, some choices seemed a bit hopeful — I wonder if that was intentional to highlight personal resilience or a narrative shortcut.

The tactical descriptions added realism but sometimes slowed the pacing — was that a deliberate choice to emphasize the complexity of war?
