A Slave in the Locked Lands

The story blends magical systems with futuristic tech, which is rare. I'm curious whether this mix was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The emotional weight of the protagonist’s experiences really stuck with me. I wonder if the author drew from personal history or extensive research?

The world-building felt so immersive but also mysterious. I’m curious whether the setting was based on real-world places or entirely imagined.
