Lotosowe cesarstwo

The world-building in this book feels so vivid and immersive. I'm curious whether the author drew from real cultures or created everything from imagination.

Some decisions felt so morally complex — I loved that, but it also made me uncomfortable at times. How did others interpret their moral dilemmas?

The romance felt genuine and nuanced, which is so important in fantasy. I wonder if the author drew from personal experience or research.
