Sorry for the wait, ~Spark9.
It would help if there was a wick check for both tropes involved. Declining.

It appears that originally, the trope Have a Nice Death is "you can die in lots of ways, and all of them have a unique message" whereas The Many Deaths of You is supposed to be "you can die in lots of ways, and all of them have a unique animation".
That's not a solid distinction, though. Indeed, numerous examples AND the description on Have a Nice Death also talk about animations. Conversely, numerous examples on The Many Deaths of You are explicitly about genres that don't have animation (e.g. gamebooks, tabletop).
Furthermore, numerous exapmles (and the page image) on The Many Deaths of You are simply a list of ways in which you can die, which belongs under parent trope Everything Trying to Kill You instead. Reading through the section "online games", every item listed is just "a game where you can die in many, many ways".
I don't think The Many Deaths of You is meaningfully distinct, and the examples bear this out, and it should redirect to Have a Nice Death, and its examples split between HAND and ETTKY.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
