Le Pire Navire de la Flotte (Coup de bol et Héros Morts t. 1)

The world-building feels so vivid and lived-in. I'm curious whether it was inspired by real-world naval stories or something entirely imagined.

The lighthearted moments made the story really stand out, but I wondered if they were planned to offset the emotional stakes or came naturally.

The relationships felt so authentic in this book—I'm curious whether the author envisioned this as a standalone or part of a bigger saga.
