I’m getting tired of authors taking this approach. There’s a difference between telling readers that an assault or violent act occurred and graphically depicting every detail. I don’t need explicit scenes of assault or violence to understand the story. In many cases, those moments can be implied rather than shown. Whenever a chapter becomes overly graphic, I usually skip it because it adds little to my reading experience.
