奇跡の少年 / Seventh Son

The way magic is tied to lineage and personal responsibility added depth, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The blending of historical elements with fantasy created a rich backdrop. I'm curious whether the author drew from specific real-world events or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The story took some time to pick up again after the initial action. Do others think this was intentional to build character or just a natural part of the narrative flow?
