Trigger Warnings

A Few Cruel Twists of Fate has many mature themes and scenes that contain multiple instances of the following:

(DISCLAIMER: I do not condone any of the following)


 * Excessive and Gratuitous Violence: The author does not intend on using excessive violence and gore for the sake of shock value (while that is also part of the reason why, for in-story reasons which will be explored at some point), but to add a layer of realism and because it is a plot point in the story. The glorification of violence occurs in this superhuman society, with the spectacle of superpowers and the common wars waged by heroes and villains worldwide, either traumatizing or desensitizing citizens regularly.
 * Blood and Gore: See above.
 * Abuse: This extends to physical, emotional, and mental abuse.
 * Animal Cruelty / Violence: This probably isn't referring to the first thing that entered your mind. Since humans gained superpowers through mutation, so did plants and animals, and while many of these animals appear like otherworldly creatures that other media may be completely fine with killing and injuring, they are still very much animals of this world, like mutated birds, fish, mammals, etc., and as such, still act as if they were never mutated at all. Many of these animals are sometimes fought due to their hostile nature but are also treated with reverence and wonder on other occasions. Alternatively, there are scenes of animal cruelty with regards to animal experimentation, which aren't presented in connotations that are in any way positive.
 * Self-injurious Behavior
 * Suicide
 * Crime: The author acknowledges that this is a very vague term, but that's because it hasn't been decided what sorts of crime appear in the story. It could be anything from kidnapping, murder, trafficking, black marketeering, vandalism, etc.
 * Substance Abuse (Drugs and Alcohol)
 * Sexual Themes and Rape: While the actual physical act of sex is never explicitly shown, and neither is nudity, sexual themes are very heavily referenced and discussed, both in serious and humorous ways. The act of rape, however, is treated separately from these. While the act of sexual rape isn't present in the story yet (if ever that gets changed), there is the act of 'mind rape' which alludes to the physical activity in some ways.
 * Mental Illness
 * Psychological Horror and Disturbance: Philosophical and psychological themes are explored as the story goes on, which might be disturbing for some people. Many of these themes involve the presentation of characters undergoing severe mental and emotional distress, and involve trauma, derealization, mental disorders, etc.
 * Derealization: The latter third of the story deals heavily with concepts of existential dread, identity, derealization, and dementia.
