When you read a book, do you think Death and Gore is the best hook for a series to start out? Like in the first page somebody needs to get killed for you to actually get into the book?

Are you actually serious?

What the fuck is wrong with you?
A bloody death should hardly ever be in a book, unless explicitly called for.
There's no reason to put axe murderers in books or go into a 10 page explanation about why a man died getting his news from his lawn when the lawnmower runs over his foot.
If you're reading warhammer its fine or space marine core lit but otherwise why.

Because it's interesting. Like after that wouldn't you want to know why that happened, and if there is more explicit imagery like that too.
Like shit like this hooks me:
>the first boy died in the camps 3 hours ago
>the Hanging tree gets more bodies everyday
>when the butcher cut the wire, the sharp steel came hurdling down on to my fathers neck. I could feel my breath coming into my body but, it'd never come out. My ears went deff for the longest moment possible, but when his head hit the pavement I came tumbling back to my senses.
It's just very intriguing.

No, it isn't. It's cheap. It's the literary equivalent of COME PLAY, MY LORD where you tease with something cheap because what it's hiding is something irredeemably dull and cheaply made.
I like when nothing happened.
What kind of reader am I ?
