Very Bad Truth

The story feels intense and immersive, but I wonder how much of that was planned from the start versus evolving during writing. Did the emotional arcs influence the darker themes?

I noticed some cultural nuances that enriched the story, but at times it felt like they might be lost on non-German readers. How do others interpret these details' impact?

The narration added a layer of intimacy, but I wonder if the author envisioned this as a primarily audio experience from the beginning or adapted it later.
