I get that explanations tend to color things for various people, and I understand it as well. I think one of the things I find missing in your stories is the casual sex that can go along with casual death. It's a part I hadn't really talked about, but the idea would be to make it fun, to enjoy it. The thing is there wouldn't be any SPECIFIC test failed that would cause one of the kids to be snuffed. In general they are guidelines... like the quota system in the "Mess Evans" story.

So a teacher would have the freedom to make it a game or an "execution" if they wanted to, but the primary goal of that is to make it sexual and enjoyable... in one way or another, including masochism... for the student being culled.

I didn't focus on older groups, as for the most part this would be focused on the kids, with the exception that the teacher would be the one doing the culling. As for a standard world where the boys and girls would be equal... that's another side that I'm not as fond of, because I've never been a big fan of male death... underage or not. I've gotten into stories that have it, mind, but generally speaking it's not for me. You could separate the classes into male and female classes, but the reason to make it 'lopsided' is to provide a "reason."

I will say that most of the stories I would/could write in the world would likely not really discuss the "world's rules" so much as to enjoy the events that come from it. It just helps me to have a world in which to build. Basically, I was wondering if people would be interested in stories based in this world.

So take sex education, starting at 3rd grade where there is hands on demonstrations. (And also when culling starts) One of the students is chosen to be the demonstration object and she may or may not survive it as some casual snuff might be how it ends. But not necessarily always.... though again, each snuff should be at least in some way sensual. Again, that's the kink I'm going for. Casual, consensual (or even Enthusiastic consent), sexual snuff.

And just to be sure this is clear... I've enjoyed reading your stories, Aoi. I've found many are great, it's just that I tend to feel that something is missing. Like just a little bit more could make it 'that much better' for me. And that's all me, not your stories by any stretch.
