IMO, publishers should. When they publish a book, they have an audience in mind. Just like movies we have PG-13 and stuff. Books should have the same rating, and we can put this silly stuff behind us.

I hated the prologue of Game of Thrones, still do. Chapter 1 didn’t open with a conflict either.
So I picked it up, put it down, picked it up, put it down like a dozen times, but the more I read, the amazing that world becomes. George really knows how to maximize the pain. Ned didn’t want to become the King’s Hand. He was going to tell the king no, but his wife talked him into it. Then the king fired him, and he packed his things ready to go home. Inches from freedom. Then all hell broke loose.
The Bourne Identity.
It’s extremely slow, and he kidnapped a woman, slapped her a few times, threatened to kill her, later saved her from a rapist and voila she fell in love with him.
