I hate it when books, or really any media, falls into the "No one dies" trap. All it ever does is kill any stakes the story had, especially if the situations are supposed to be super dangerous. Even worse are the writers that create and kill off pointless and minor characters to create a false sense of tension. Do you guys know any specific reasons authors do this? Are they too attached to the characters, is it to make it more family friendly, or what?
