Le jeu du maître - tome 3 Fin de partie

The mix creates a unique world but also raises questions about genre boundaries. I'm curious whether this was intentional from the start or evolved during writing.

It seemed like the story took a brief pause before ramping up again. Was that pacing choice meant to build tension or was it just natural to the plot development?

The game itself is so intriguing and complex. I wonder if the author drew from existing games or created it entirely from imagination to serve the story's themes.
