英雄之心

I'm curious about how the editor chose these particular tales to create a cohesive epic experience. Did the stories evolve together or was it a deliberate curation process?

Some stories felt interconnected or hinted at a shared history. Was that intentional, and how much planning went into weaving these legends together?

I'm interested in whether the stories challenge traditional fantasy or reinforce classic themes. Did the authors aim to subvert expectations or honor genre conventions?
