Crudele illusione. Cruel is the Light

The demons in this story feel so layered and human — I wonder what inspired the decision to give them depth and motivation beyond evil stereotypes.

The chemistry was undeniable, but their initial hostility made me question whether their connection was genuine or just rebellion. Am I the only one who felt this tension?

The world-building felt so immersive and inventive, I’m curious whether it was based on a myth or folklore or came entirely from the author's imagination.
