The Weight of Blood

The magic system feels both mysterious and threatening, but I wondered what led to the choice to focus so heavily on character arcs amidst the chaos.

The story's momentum seemed to dip before ramping up again — I'm curious if that was planned to give space for worldbuilding or character introspection.

The bleak environment really immerses you in the story, and I wonder whether real historical conflicts influenced the worldbuilding choices.
