For the mature content warning thing, yeah that's another reason why I figured it was a separate topic. I think it's important we should use a set standard (how are books normally rated?) to keep it from becoming subjective, maybe something to be discussed in its own thread once the book is infomined. It's not even just about what subjects are discussed (mothy touches on a lot of big upsetting ones, someone kindly provided me a list,) but also how graphically/how much the novel discusses them.

For example, the plot of Venomania's story features rape (though not the typical kind as seen in real life) but also does not show or describe sexual acts. iirc Mothy made a statement about writing it so that a younger audience would also be able to read it. I feel that this was not as much a concern for him when writing this book. Conchita's novel is another one I feel could stand to have a warning tbh On the other hand, the Venomania song that features a condensed form of the novel's plot is flagged as explicit on the Vocaloid Wiki for pretty valid reasons of its subject matter, so there's that to consider too.
