Troubadour
I started my "RES KID" book "Dove & Crow" with the violent death of a dove. It was bloody but meant as fore-shadowing. The second book, Darkling Romance, begins with a bloody death of female character in love with the protagonist.
Do I regret the decision? Often. It's just how the story presented itself to me. I was a teenager and it appealed to me to have this kinda content. But it isn't friendly content that would get me oodles of young readers. As an adult, I can read this sorta thing. I could argue I attempted a level of sophistication. I am told my writing is clumsy at points.
I think I disliked the beginning of Final Fantasy VII: the supposed heroes blew up a reactor, injuring hundreds of civilians!
