Tristan Strong Destroys the World

The blend of myth and adventure felt fresh and meaningful. I'm curious what the author's process was for choosing which myths to include.

The book made me laugh but also touched on some emotional themes that felt genuine. How did the author decide when to lighten the mood versus dive into deeper issues?

Some parts felt fast-paced while others slowed down for character moments. Was this structure planned from the start or did it develop during writing?
