The Neutronium Alchemist

The world-building feels incredibly detailed and immersive. I'm curious whether the author developed the lore first or let it evolve naturally during writing.

The horror scenes added a visceral edge to the story, but they also made me uneasy. How do others interpret the balance between fear and wonder here?

Juggling so many perspectives kept the story dynamic, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or a response to the story's growth.
