2. Oblivious Preds. None of that ‘see, eat, immediately forget about it’ shit. Eating someone should be an experience.
3. Repeated mass vorings of unwilling Prey. Makes the setting feel callous, cruel, and paper thin.
4. Unambiguous Perma-Death when the Prey is willing, especially when the Pred and Prey are in a relationship. Death that the Prey can come back from is fine, but dead and gone forever is not.
5. Scat, gas, piss, puke and odors.
I think these sums up how I feel about things most of the time.
1. Actually I don't mind smaller preds however.
2. Oblivious or unaware preds to me are boring (can possibly live with it in main stream content but in more fetish oriented content its completly a deal braker)
3. Single prey can be as bad as multi-prey in unwilling settings if the pred is overly aggressive and callous. If its unwilling it needs to be very ballanced i.e prey(s) were talked into it only for them to regret it once it happens but the preds don't think they are doing anything wrong or being cruel. For me the most important thing is that the mood and the tone doesn't nose dive soon as any actual eating of the prey happens (I have seen this happen why to many times) if certain tone has been struck with the premise at the beginning.
4. I don't think this rely matter if we are talking about one-off stories/or sequels as long as the mood doesn't nose dive once someone gets eaten. If there is nothing in the premise to suggest that a willing prey(s) is/are going to die and be gone for ever once they get eaten then I would say its nose dive and dealbreaker. Howvever if its premise from the beginning that willing prey(s) is/are going to die and be gone for ever, then I don't think its much of an issue and it doesn't matter if its one-off story or series of stories.
5. Extremally detailed is deal breaker for me for most part but if its only implied then I don't mind it.
additionally:
Its dealbreaker for me when authors/artist declare certain characters as preds or prey before anything has actually happen. Part of reading story comic or text based is discovering and working out each characters intentions and reactions to certain events. If an author just tells his reader what going to happen to each character at the beginning then there is no suspense or thrill once something starts to happen if the readers know whats going to happen to each and every character in the story.
