Really hoping that grave wasn't for a fetus given how Colin had shackles on the first page, declined to respond to "So what were you raising?", and called herself "mommy", among other things.

Seems like it's shaping up to be the next Happy Sugar Life, less age gap but even more fked up this time.

Now might be the time to tap out on this one, dear reader.

Hmm, Gehenna. That’s a biblical expression, isn’t it?
One Google search later…
Ah, it’s Hell. Lovely.

Yeah… I think I’ll wait for all the chapters to be uploaded before trying out this one.

To be exact, Gehenna is a valley in modern day Israel. Place was used to burn children that were sacrificed in religious rituals to deity Moloch.

Which sort of makes this even more creepy.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Hinnom_(Gehenna))

The Hebrew Bible describes Gehenna as the place where King Ahaz of Judah sacrificed his children, though

Debate remains as to whether the phrase "cause his children to pass through the fire" referred to a religious ceremony in which the Moloch priest would walk the child between two lanes of fire, or to literal child sacrifice wherein the child is thrown into the fire.

In certain usage, the Christian Bible refers to it as a place where both soul and body could be destroyed in unquenchable fire.

Yikes.

Taking in the details here regarding the shackles,the name of the series itself,and the quite likely implication that was the still born being buried,this is already quite dark.

And we have yet to ACTUALLY see the tags in motion,but speculation is a powerful enough plot tool in itself.

All that for the girl she meets,not even the she herself who has a way too busy mother.

I don't understand why people make this kind of story with heavy subject and especially when it involves children. I can understand if it's about child abuse and when it's only use to make feel more empathy with the character going through that. But here it feels like the author is going going to only give use torture porn with children... They have to stop doing that

First and foremost, it's fictional. No real life person of any age was harmed, so the author can do anything and everything. Child abuse as backstory to invoke empathy is ok, but it's not the only possible usage, the author is crafting a story, if they finds a new way to use an element that fits the story, then it goes into the story, that's normal. Moreover there are technical aspects to it: Heavy subjects would be even more heavy when they are inflicted on the weak and naive/innocent characters like children, and there are plot lines that only work if the characters are children...

I believe the readership/audience has the freedom to choose whether to consume a work, while the authors have the total freedom to create whatever story they could think of and could express into a presentable form. If one reader finds a story to be distasteful, then they should drop it and read other stories. It's not like the existence of a weird story would delete the existence or limit the growth of other "good" stories, it's no longer the age where books must be copied by handwritting and only a limited number of people knows how to write. The abundance of and the ease of access to information and works (fiction or otherwise) nowadays are unprecedented in human history, the choices are practically limitless. It makes no sense trying to impose what sort of story an author should or should not create.
