I liked immortal days a lot and you can read it for free here as long as you make an account! the chapters are fairly short, and about 250 of them have been released to the general public (you have to pay to unlock the newest ones early). I'd recommend it to anyone who likes action, scifi, comedy, crime/violence, interesting characters and relationships, children who get to be people, and well-written women. lesbians also
for TWs off the top of my head
I'd warn that one of the main plot points revolves around essentially a death cult that encourages suicide, and later abuses and cannibalizes the organs of children (it's attempted suicide since people can't die)
since people can't die - methods of disposal include burying, leaving people to drown endlessly in oceans, and constant incineration
child abuse is a plot point for several of the mini arcs and features in several characters' backstories
human trafficking, child abduction. itgan trafficking
sexual assault and hate crimes (racist and homophobic) are mentioned frequently in one of the arcs, and a character remembers onscreen being molested as a child, though not graphically.
discussions of ptsd, including from ex-military
domestic violence, abusive husbands and mothers
torture, including sexual torture, is referenced as punishment for crimes and the aftermath is seen. this and prev point are mostly in the arc "The Khan"
frequent domestic terrorism via bombing, including attempted bombing of a hospital
another major plot point revolves around drugs that send users into a frenzied cannibalistic state, or make them into something like zombies.
honestly the series is not as gory as it sounds, but it's definitely violent
mass imprisonment of children and unethical medical experimentation is a plot point later in the series
one of the characters is a closeted trans woman and we see her abusive mother deny her identity in a flashback
ummm one of the characters in the main relationship is an extremely manipulative stalker early on and continues to be a huge liar obsessed with the other guy but everyone ends up knowing about it and he faces consequences etc. and I find their dynamic super interesting and well-done. he tortures people also. but basically dw about it portraying toxic behavior as romantic. the author and everyone else knows he's fucked up and it's not a romantic relationship anyway. and I love him I think he's a fabulous character. he is. unhinged as they say

your BAMFiest Neil Jostens please! Violent or clever or just really good at surviving, anything that doesn't make him out to be super soft? I've been having some trouble and as fun as getting drowned in fluff is, I was wondering if you had any recommendations
Here’s a selection of fics where Neil is competent (mind the tags). -K

Day & Josten run their Private Investigation business out of their apartment and manage to make ends meet without touching Neil’s family money. Some months are better than others, but the two of them have been content in their inner city apartment, running around and spying on people for money. Over the last seven years, they’ve built a life together and it’s been good.
Then Andrew Minyard, a lawyer from out of town knocks on their door and presents them with a case that they can’t refuse - not with the amount of money offered - or the familiar look in his eye.

The Darkest Hearts by Shtare [Rated T; 52001 Words; Incomplete, 7/25 last updated 2020]
Neil Josten was already living in his own personal dystopia when kids started dropping dead en masse and the rest of the world caught on. 98% of the kids under fourteen died, and the rest were deemed too dangerous for civil society. Neil was one of the ones that never got sick. Instead, he started falling into the mind of anyone he touched. It was getting harder for Neil to claw his way back out.
Death had to be better than living as an Orange.
