Chimaera

The setting of Chimaera feels so immersive, but I wondered how much planning went into making sure the characters still felt authentic amidst all the lore. Did the world-building come first or the characters?

Their journeys felt so personal and intense — I found myself rooting for them even when they made questionable choices. Were their arcs intentionally designed to evoke empathy?

The Chimaera itself is such a captivating creature, and the magic feels rooted in deep myth. I wonder if the author drew from specific legends or created something entirely new?
