The Black Shriving

The demons feel so layered and complex—I'm curious whether the author drew from myth, personal imagination, or a mix of both. How did the creative process shape their portrayal?

The detailed descriptions made the story richer, but I wondered if that was intentional to build atmosphere or if it affected the overall flow for others.

Some chapters were intense battles, others deep introspection—I'm curious how that pacing was planned to keep the story engaging.
