i love this author but i can’t handle so much pain rn. it literally hurts my body to read that.
and if this doesn’t get a happy ending i’m killing everybody
like i’m actually shaking and having flashbacks to a little life. don’t read it
iirc, the author for a little life intended to write a story to "present a legitimate case for suicide", or something like that. I doubt that's the case here, given this creator's track record. the characters suffer and struggle, but the story develops with them striving for the lives they want to achieve, not simply presenting a gauntlet of misery and suffering to show that there's nothing to live for. yes, terrible things happen, but the intrigue of the story is partly in seeing how the characters react and adapt to those horrors and overcome them.
definitely drop the story if the topics it's dealing with are too much for you (and I don't mean that in the smug, obnoxious way some people do) and you certainly don't have to like it, but I don't really see a reason to be all doom-and-gloom about a story that's only partway through unfolding.
started reading this a few days ago. a really beautiful story. one of the best i’ve ever read. if not the best
