Caine's Law

The setting feels so immersive and oppressive — I wonder what influenced the author to create such a bleak universe.

His actions often teeter on the edge of right and wrong, which made me question what I’d do in his place. Am I the only one who found myself rooting for him despite his flaws?

The pacing kept me on edge, but I’m curious whether the structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
