killing off every character in a novel

One reason could be to create a sense of extreme tragedy or futility. By eliminating all the characters, the author might be trying to show that in the world of the novel, there is no hope and all are doomed. It could also be a very extreme form of making a statement about the futility of life or the overwhelming power of certain forces, like a cruel and inescapable fate or a devastating event such as a global catastrophe that no one can survive.

It would shock them. Readers usually expect some characters to survive, at least the main ones. So, when every character is killed off, it goes against their expectations and leaves them with a sense of disbelief.

One effect could be shock value. It can jolt the readers and make them more engaged as they try to figure out how the story will progress without that character. For example, in 'Game of Thrones', Ned Stark's early death completely changed the direction of the story and made readers more eager to see how the power struggle would unfold without his influence.

To set a dark or tragic tone. If an author wants to show that the world of the novel is a harsh place from the start, killing off a character early can be an effective way. For instance, in '1984', the way the Party eliminates people early on gives a sense of the totalitarian and dangerous world.

One pro is that it can create a huge shock value. It can jolt the readers and make them more engaged as they try to figure out how the story will progress without that character. A con could be that readers might get too attached to the character and become very disappointed or even stop reading. Another con is that it might disrupt the planned character arcs and plotlines that were centered around that character.

One ethical consideration is respecting the original creator's vision. If the character is important to the source material's overall narrative, killing them off might be seen as undermining the original work. Another aspect is the impact on the fan community. Some fans may have strong emotional attachments to the character, and killing them off could upset or disappoint those fans.

One reason could be to create a sense of shock or surprise. It makes the story more unpredictable. For example, in 'Game of Thrones', the sudden death of Ned Stark shocked readers and viewers alike, completely changing the direction of the story.
