Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly Sleepy did the full switch to subscribestar in 2020 which was when he was doing "Nancy's day off". The other stories were in the archive and not published on Subscribestar.
Well, around the end of the 20th year. It's kind of November.
That would mean that the stories he removed are "Meanwhile in Violet's Dungeon" and "To Break a Thief" (we are not counting "A kind of Magic" as this was already discontinued) which are the two most "extreme" stories he did.
He also removed "Slumber Party Mystery" which includes Josie and we know her fate can also be considered "extreme" I guess.
The only weird one for me is "Seduced Barista" as he said he will finish it.
Overall we can see that Sleepy removed the stories with Hardcore BDSM and sex trafficking implications even though TCAT is still there.
It looks like it.
But there is such an expression: "You cannot throw a word out of a song"...
It seems to me that what happened in the work "Violet White Meanwhile in Violet's Dungeon" can be said to have become almost the central axis of his universe, set, so to speak, tone of a growing universe.
And trying to pull it out now is like ripping out a man's spine, maybe everything will collapse!
To be honest, I can't even say how I felt about the gloom of what was happening...
Sleepy fell into the same trap of an adult content writer, who has to raise the bar on screen all the time to keep the audience.
I guess I was annoyed by the fact that the level of gloom was rising all the time, I realized that sooner or later the "Bitch Tandem" should have already moved on to something that would be unpleasant to watch even in the framework - "you're taking this so seriously, it's just comics!"
On the other hand, it was this "bleakness on the edge" that set his work apart from many others and added spice to everything that was happening.
On the other hand, as I've said several times before, Sleep has brought a MacGuffin like "chemical cupid" into its history, which allows it to turn any of its stories into fucking Looney Tunes without consequences! (I don't like having a "chemical cupid" in the story...)
