Not exactly 'excessive,' however, there are heavy themes of bodily horror and death in this story.

Perhaps. One of the characters is a major self-sabotager and often acts out in a way that would make them considered 'an uncontrollable troublemaker.' This is considered a method of self harm (in my eyes) and could be a sensitive topic for some.

Yes and no. A majority of the characters are implied to be young children, their ages completely ambiguous and never explicitly stated. However, due to the 'children' being nonhuman creatures, it is unsure whether or not they would be considered children due to the way they age. Obviously, since they're not from Earth, they don't age in Earth years. They're still implied to be children, though, because the arc is titled "The Children of Swan Crossing." One of the child(?) characters /does/ die, however, it is unknown whether or not they'd be considered a child where they're from.

While it's not stated, a character dies under rubble, which most likely crushed most of their body.

Perhaps? As previously mentioned, full bodies are eaten. Not described, but implied. Do what you want with this information.

While it is not explicitly stated that teeth are damaged, a character does vomit/spit up disembodied teeth. While it is unknown whether or not the teeth belong to them, it could still count; this is because the character is implied to have ate someone else, which probably includes their teeth.

This question is iffy due to the fact that there is a recurring theme of humanoid/sentient characters that act like people. A few of these characters have a thing about eating other humanoid creatures, implied even actual humans. However, this isn't exactly considered cannibalism, due to them not being the same species. Still, it is still heavily implied that bodies are eaten.

There is a lot of violence, and while it's never really stated if the violent characters have mental illness, they have gone through events that would most likely result in so/display mentally ill behaviours.

Perhaps, perhaps not. The central point is that a group of adolescents was taken from their original homes and placed in the Swan Crossing Project. Nobody knows *when* exactly they were taken, or what age they were when it happened. Up to interpretation.

At the end of some chapters, the author/main character speaks to the reader in first person. Don't know if this counts.

A character that has gone through mistreatment becomes a murderer and carelessly takes human lives. However, he is redeemed throughout the course of the story.

There are a few scenes where a character(s) is submerged underwater and it is described that they're holding their breath for long moments. No one dies though.

Technically? There are slight mentions of /insect/ death, which some people consider to be animals. Either way, it's a living creature without a conscience, so, count it as what you'd like.
