I am not sure if this is allowed in my novel?

I am new and I have read the content guidelines, and it says no graphic violence. But I just want to be sure if this is allowed in my novel. So in episode one, my MC dies. She is the Duke oldest daughter, but she gain herself an villainess reputation, and everyone blames her for trying to off her sister. So before she dies, she cursed the people including everyone she loved before and offers her body to the devil.

So simple summary of what the scene will look like is that she is floating in the air with her face gone, and blood will flow out before she drops to the ground breaking her bones. So that okay, or no?

This question is kinda a slippery slope because it depends on the creator and what they think is considered "breaking the guidelines."

For example, in my novel, I have scenes of gore, mental health, bodies breaking, fights, spines being ripped out, language, and se*ual content tags. I've used all the M tags at least once. If it truly breaks guidelines, staff will contact you, but you'd have to write some pretty horrid stuff for it to get flagged for a novel. Novels have more leeway than comics because it's not visual.

For violence, just use the M toggle to signify that it's an M chapter.

Also heads up, if you schedule an M chapter that has a certain M tag (like se*ual content), your novel will get shadowbanned from the ranking for a day.

Okay, thank you! I just wanted to make sure that it was okay before I write it down.

So far, used M tags. Most violence in any of my series...

@moderators will likely know best.

I would say if you mark it mature and give a trigger warning that will likely be a-ok. 100% mark it mature.

[joannekwan]

It's a novel so it should be fine.
If you're describing gore and viscera, then mark it as Mature.

[CrescentMoon]

Okay, I also have some mild bullying scene would I put it under Abuse - Physical and/or Emotional or physical violence. Not much bullying, just a little mention here and there.

[joannekwan]

Yeah that should be totally fine. Just think of the Mature tag as used for anything higher than a PG13 rating.
