Le Cavalier (Le Maître du Jeu t. 2)

The characters' interactions feel intense and layered. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed as the story evolved.

The moral gray areas make it hard to know whether to cheer them on or question their choices. Has this duality made the story more engaging for others?

The mood is so distinct and immersive. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or intentionally crafted this atmosphere from scratch.
