and I don't glorify suicide, trust me. It ruined everyone's day in the book.
couple books later, the two MC's are *still* dealing with it.
woowww? which book, I want to read itt :blob_reach:
If we, as writers. refrain from writing *anything* that *anyone* would file a complaint against? We would have precious little left to write about. i would say we could write recipe books, but... there would be complaints from the "carbs" people. No red meat, god forbid. Sugar, oil. MIlk, eggs, bacon... all get complaints. Hell, can't even write recipe books if all complaints are censored.

Its in my synopsis, murder and suicide are dealt with in the text. I labeled it "adult", and it got among other tags a suicide tag.
mn, you have a point. :blob_hmm_two:

ain't any need for suicide to be depicted. I'd rather see a rocks fall, everybody dies scenario. Suicide in stories are way too risky of being problematic for one reason or another. Ten times as much if it's an isekai protag who self-exits before getting their cool OP perfect new life in the skimpy catgirl world.
