Self harm is to get blood to do magic things. Happened quite a few times. Also, technically not drug use so didn't warn for it but I feel like demonic cultivation has many many similarities to drug use.bookoutlier's review against another edition

Lots of subtle homophobia and misogyny. There's some dubious consent towards the very end, and the extras have some pretty risque nsfw scenes.onlykhans's review against another edition

Though it's never treated in text as unwanted or nonconsentual, the sex life of the main characters isn't great consent-wise. The first time they sleep together, one appears drunk (his characterization lead to fans speculating that he'd sobered up, but as far as I know there's no canonical consensus), and the next time the other voices protests that go largely ignored, though he never truly dislikes it. Nothing awful, but proceed with caution.
