Any comics where the main character suffers through out immensely?

I'm a sadist I know.

Lmao well I mean I can't say I don't love seeing the shit beat out of my favorite characters.
Honestly, I can't think of any series on here that I would describe as "constant immense suffering" but I guess I would recommend the manga Ajin. As much as I love my favorite characters to suffer, Ajin kinda just went a little too far and long for me and I eventually dropped it because it almost felt like some sorta torture porn (in a non-kinky way). I stopped at a point where, if memory serves, they were basically just gruesomely killing the main character over and over again to see how his body would handle it. Went a little far for me, HOWEVER, despite what I just said, Ajin sounds exactly like what you're looking for!

It's a stretch but I'll go ahead and shamelessly drop my own comic, City of Blank, too. It's not always blatantly apparent, but two of the main characters do suffer from a very constant, heavy guilt (that I'll be getting more into these next two chapters). Not sure if you're looking for physical or mental, but there's definitely plenty of physical pain on the way too, but nothing constant.

my comic Talesfromswipecityis a year old on Tap now so i cannot say new..

but its a city that has brought back corporal punishment so being a teenager there has a small mount of suffering lol (well if ya naughty!)

Oh I feel you~ I'll second Ajin, and add in All You Need is Kill, Berserk, Immortal Rain, Tokyo Ghoul, Happiness, Oyasumi Pun Pun, Vagabond, Dorohedoro, Holyland, No. 6 (BL), D.Grayman, Homunculus, Shigurui, Deadman Wonderland, Ubel Blatt, Owari no Seraph, Mirai Nikki, Battle Royale, Btoom, Nabari no Ou, and Himizu. Sorry for the long list, they're all manga btw and all really good imo. Also, shameless self promotion - my mc is going to get really messed up soon so if you want you can check it out : ) https://tapastic.com/series/Axis

Well my comic is about my life so it yeah, that should help.

In Patterns in Snow, nobody gets hit in the face. It is more a psychological struggel, that gets build up higher and higher. I would say the end is quite heavy. Not shure if it suits the needs of a sadist Oh Im getting checky here.

[punkarsenic]

i guess my comic fits into the topic of tragedy, so i suppose? theres no end to the suffering but maybe more focus on the positive than youre looking for

[CHMsketches]

Does bullying count as 'immense suffering' ? My comic have that topic. But, for the moment, not much suffering XDDD

Wait, so if you as a reader ends up becoming invested in the characters being tortured, wouldn't that make you more of a masochist?

If you're looking for some depressing character driven comics, I have a couple:

'Empty World' by Kuro
It is a very wapanese comic, not only is it set in Japan but the layout is right to left, but it's kinda depressing. The main character is high school student who is constantly abused, and traumatized by his father and other characters, who I believe is also developing some mental illness from it. At times it's a bit on the impractical side, but it's not too bad if you can turn your brain off.

'It's a Hard Life' by Qlock (This comic is Smackjeeves exclusive)
Unfortunately I am not up to date on this one, the author tends to update in bulks and I just didn't have the time to catch up, but I digress. This is a Pokemon fancomic about a girl going through pokemon and human deaths, homelessness, becoming a wanted criminal. The art isn't amazing, it's done with messy watercolour and sometimes it's hard to make some stuff out, but it fits with the bleak mood of the comic so you get used to it.

Lastly, not meaning to be one of those people, but there is also mine. 'Void'.
The first chapter is meant to be more of an introduction so not much is going on, but the comic afterwards is meant to be like a depressing melodrama. (Like 'Young and the Restless' but with darker subjects) Sort of a combination of physical, and psychological. Can't say it actually will be depressing, I tend to be rather facetious when faced with dark stories, and I can't say how relatable the characters will be. But eh, if you just want to see characters having a bad time, that's pretty much what it is.

[Momomori]

it may not be on tap, but Tokyo Ghoul. I swear ishida hates his main characters. and no, its not the same as the anime.

[indagold]

Well that's basically all my work.

Welcome Back Series Gets into dark psychological horror territory. The first part isn't as dark as the second which involves a lot of death, murder, torture and with a cutesy colorful dream world to go along.

Garden Of Mold is a short silent comic about an agoraphobic man who hoards plants. He goes through a lot of distress and bizarre situations.

I guess it's not a gore splatter fest, but all of my work is tragedies.
