Hi!

I'm planning on making a historical/mythological otome where the MC is a married woman who falls in love with a bog water spirit. The game has some creepy vibes (wandering around a misty bog and sensing an unknown being there), but it's more about romance and building trust between MC and the water spirit.

However, the MC suffers from domestic violence (by her drunkard husband), and I'm not sure if it's considered disturbing by the rules. The game won't show beating, but the bruises are visible on MC's face. MC seeks to appease her husband at first, but it backfires when he finds out she's pregnant (with water spirit's child). The husband chases MC to the bog, where the water spirit kills him in MC's defense, or the husband drowns by falling into a bog hole. The killing/death isn't explicitly shown or described. In the end, MC turns into a water spirit to live with her love and escape the human world.

Would this be considered disturbing by the rules?

Hey, Ebbasuke!

This looks fine to us. The rule was mainly to discourage romanticizing abusive relationships, so you're entirely in the clear. Please just make sure to include the appropriate content warning tags.

We look forward to your submission!
