Hey, Aiden, if you really need help I may not be a doctor but I'm a very famous philosopher.

In Shakespeare's plays, they were either love stories of tragedies, tragedies being where everyone dies. My advice for you is if you want to keep your character's story dramatic drift away from it being a dark tragedy and look for lighter, other interesting themes to introduce. Have a love interest, whatever. (I've heard that certain readers are anticipating this, lol.) Also, if you like action, which you do, have some action that isn't killing your enemies, but maybe competing against your rivals or bonding with your closest allies, family or friends. When characters start dying, especially those that have been pretty prominent or understandable for the reader, it makes stuff... difficult... for both the reader and the character themselves. Keep the story lighthearted with some serious undertones but please don't go killing off loved ones... Unless its in your backstory or a noble sacrifice (like Snotlout [books]) near the conclusion of a story arc.
