1. Parental Guidance; some chapters may be too intense for a younger audience
2. Adult Dialect; some lingo may not be appropriate for readers
3. Mention of Mental Illness; in a fictional world stricken with discrimination and greed, the realism of mental illness or aliments rightfully should be mentioned.

4. Real-World Issues; Events in the story may be too intense for some readers (poverty, slander, injustice, death, discrimination)

META is a complicated sci-fi story full of compelling genetically mutated characters with an enemies to lovers plot. Characters referred to as immortals are mutants who've surpassed their conscience and act purely on uncontrollable and irrational nerves. META takes place in America where mutants are looked at as the lowest means of society and are discriminated (often wrongfully imprisoned because of said abilities).
