The Inugami Curse

The setting and customs felt authentic and immersive, but I wonder how much was based on real traditions versus creative invention. Did this enhance the suspense or feel like a barrier for some readers?

The characters' loyalties and betrayals added layers of tension. I’m curious if others felt the real horror came from human greed and secrets rather than supernatural elements.

The gradual uncovering kept me hooked, but I wonder if the author aimed to make the reader feel like a detective—was this a conscious decision to enhance engagement?
