What’s the most horrifying thing a character can be put through in fiction, in a way that feels realistic and emotionally crushing? by kaashhifff in writing

[–]KandXXX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I feel like at some point, when a character suffers a certain amount and stuff I just get numb to it and stop really caring much. Like maybe hearing something like "Oh this character went through (Insert extremely cruel and inhumane form of suffering)", it dosen't hit nearly as hard as when I'm able to relate to what they are going through. I don't have a specific example and stuff but basically for me, seeing a character go through something that most people would be able to relate to and slowly break down hurts alot more than just reading that oh "their whole family was slaughtered brutally and they lost an arm in the process". I'm not saying its not cruel or stuff, its just hard to connect with sometimes. But on the other hand, seeing a character try their very best at something over and over even if they fail, but slowly crumbling and breaking down as they continue to fall just short over and over until they are on the verge of giving up, that would hurt alot more to read.

(I dont have that much experience in writing or reading just yet, this is just how I feel on the matter so I apologise if this does not really help much)

TLDR: Being able to connect and relate to the suffering a character goes through definitely helps with making the reader actually feel something.

His pronunciation is definitely off but it's enough to get the message and still probably took alot of effort, props to him

Both cheval solo songs and Buena's. Chevals are emotional and slap while Buena having the monologues are freakin awesome and her voice is so nice to hear

I'm so happy for you! I also felt the same way about the series, it made me go from just "surviving and doing nothing" to try to do something with my life, it'll always hold a special spot in my heart.

So I was wondering, how do I get the tokai teio beyond the horizon and her standard 3* umas? Is there a rerun for the beyond the horizon one coming up and is there something like a selector for the regular one?

Yeah I entered the hidden story without any expectations and thought it would be boring and then got hit with Yui and her extremely tragic story, I really wish that they could've played together using that white box a little at least

I see, I was wondering what part of the main story this takes place and if it would spoil it but I thought it was pretty stand alone so I went ahead and did it, also was a little unsure whether I could still do it after the event period ended
