What are the ways you used to make your Main character suffer?😈😈😈

[mohdadeebace]

A good story is a story that has conflicts, and what is a conflict if it doesn't make the character suffer...

In my story..... I've made the main character suffer from constantly loosing peoples who he connects with, Almost to the point where he thinks of himself worthless...

what are some ways you used to make your MC suffer???

Here is the link to my work -

Amnesia combined with drug addiction and watching his entire home crumble and collapse before his eyes. Watching his people fall mad with drugs.

I'm a wholesome soul so making my character the butt of jokes is the most i can do right now.

[Humbug]

Hmm, my main character's precious older brother is taken away from him when he was a child, then a few years later he gets his eye surgically removed for organ harvesting, and that's not the worst of it, but it would be a doozy of a spoiler since that part hasn't happened in my comic yet.

[mohdadeebace]

That's cruel..... especially when one don't have control on mind....

When no one supports you and you need to live your life by illegal means is one hell of a suffering.....

I make my main character suffer by having her being a lesbian in an arranged marriage with an abusive man.

I plan to make the rest of the main cast suffer by being in a love pentagon where 3/5 feels like they must hide large parts of themselves from the other because of the society they live in. That desire for secrecy forces them to take action that hurts the people they love.

Our leading lady, Mayme, has been isolated basically her entire life, due to her vampiric blood. So that sucks.
But the one time she heads out on her own to do some shopping she gets swept up in just.... a nightmare.
She finds a man who hunts her kind, and immediately faces all manner of abuse by his hand. Sexual, verbal, physical... he even decides to keep her as a pet-- to tame her and domesticate her. And the only way she knows how to lessen the abuse is fawning. That isn't even to mention the fact the church/government is basically out to get her, and all the zombie-like creatures that come out at night. She feels she had little choice but to cozy up to him, because otherwise she'd be torn a sunder by beastly men who have lost their mind to some plague or worse by the town's leaders (but what they want to do to her is a spoiler for later chapters).

But yeah. It's a story about a lot of things, but the exploration of fawning as a tactic to survive abuse is definately one of them.

Chishiki becomes very unhappy with what her hero duties require her to do in order to save the world, which is about as much as I can say about it at the moment...

Yeah it's the Venus fly trap from Hell...

[remiquise]

Uhm, her mom is pretty chill I guess..? It's a horror novella, not a lot of space for normal bar the very start. There are a lot of reasons behind it. It's all a bit allegorical, after all. but I dont like to speak much about the messages I'm trying to get across-- more so on forums. I want those who choose to read it to make their own conclusions, after all.

[mohdadeebace]

Oh I see.... Open ended trauma....

[ArtGremlin]

A story I am yet to post on tapas, ( maybe we’ll get there one day. I’m working on it) but the main character, Felix, has everything he wants, but this conflicts with what he really needs. It’s not until he loses his wants that he’s able to discover happiness. He struggles with self-hate, because he’s aware of his flaws, but doesn’t want to actually deal with them, or be strong enough to resist hurting others. He’s tortured with perpetual misery, because he believes he’s doomed and that there’s nothing he can do about it, so why bother trying to be better?

Of course, this is something he works through eventually. Kinda the main core of the plot.
