tag character death
Tag description a death occurs, but is not the focus of the story. see snuff for works centered on death/killing
note people add the snuff tag to lots of works that don't deserve it beacuse they want to avoid any character death; but that means snuff gets flooded with works that aren't really snuff. for example 388595/392694 is an almost 200 page work but gets the snuff tag because a mob character dies offscreen
