Second Life with my 8th Sister!

by NewOtaku

Once Upon a Time, Jaune lived a hard life but died with no regret and with perfect happiness. However, his story didn't end there. Supposed to be reunited with his family and friends in the afterlife, he finds himself in a new world with more magic and darkness and is much like those fairytales Ozma talks about. At least he has family here. Church-Jaune Arc/Twin of Jeanne d'Arc!

So you guys who want to know. I already have chapters 5 and 6 ready, however, I want to ask something important because it might disgust some readers.

It regards how gore or graphic the story will be. The inspiration for this story is the Brothers Grimm Fairytales, which I tell you it is very, very dark. But the fairytales themselves are not so gore but they just implied very bad things happening. So with this in mind, I wanted to make a story that is different from the typical DxD fan fics, and I wanted it to be very gritty and dirty like John Wick. So from that as a base, I pulled some inspiration from other works like Witcher, Dark Souls, and God of War, which involve a lot of blood.

Now my question is not the blood or the gritty part, but on how I will write the monsters Jaune and Jeanne will face. In order for this story to even be gritty, I need to make the enemies hard and dangerous and not just cannon fodder. With that I took some inspiration for Goblin Slayer, in order to make monsters as monstrous as possible, now there is my problem. How graphic do you guys want me to write the monsters as? Because I can make them as scary in a bit of a horror sense, but I can also make the scary through an immoral lens. Topics or actions on r*p3, cannabilism, torture, and so on.

Again I want this to be a gritty story where a veteran like Jaune and a powerhouse like Jeanne will not have a walk in the park, but I don't want to disgust or dishearten you guys since both RWBY and DxD are shown in a more cheerful lens.

My safe default is to make the monsters like that in video games. Just so hard to kill and dangerous. But I am willing to make these monsters closer to horror or slasher films. Tell me your opinions, please.

How will this affect the story? Well, it will but the story itself will not change. Think of it as if we got an entire or half an episode of Diodora's actions toward the former nuns. Technically the story of DxD will not change, but Diodora will be seen as evil as possible. I really want to avoid controversy, but I don't want to limit myself to this story.
