Recommendations literally in Hell

[ThrillingHuman]

A story where mc is literally in Hell.
Can be abrahamic or hindu.
No cool superpowers or any advantage. He or she's in hell and not in a Doom game. Make that fucker suffer.
Bonus points if things get creative with punishment.

In hell for sinning?

 

[ThrillingHuman]

In hell for sinning?

are there other reasons for going there? Well in hindu religions you get born there because of bad karma.
so bad karma is okay too I guess

Yes?

dante alighieri inferno ?

are there other reasons for going there?

There are. Maybe going there to save a soul?

 

[Tempokai]

I also know a novel where's MC recruited by King Yama, but there isn't much hell as MC is kicked out to the world of living

That can only happen in the watered down secular version of Hell.
Christian Hell is final and permanent.

Why so? People sacrificing their soul to satan to save someone happened, just cause the chance to satan moving for a soul are higher than god moving to a prayer. Starting with that, someone going to hell to save this soul can happen.

What?

If you are talking about Jesus, that's not how it worked.

Satan doesn't own the souls, God sends them there as punishment for sin. Even then, that is only after Judgment Day which has not happened yet.

Let's forget religious discourse. This is not a thread for that

It depend the christian denomination since there a few and each have their own interpretation of the journey of a soul and hell. In some, when dying, the soul go either to heaven or hell depending on how you lived on earth, in hell satan are the ruler and are often depicted to war against god with his demons.

Based.

Also, I have another question related to the topic. You need works where MC suffers in Hell that is more or less based on Hell from real-life religions, right? No stuff where MC suffers in some kind of fantasy hell?

Sorta reminds me of hell girl, though prob not what you are looking for.

Frankly, I just want some interesting dimension of suffering. Really, any fantasy Hell could do since afaik there is not a definitive version of Hell in abrahamic religions and too many different versions in hinduistic ones

Is it okay a metaphorically speaking hell? The protagonist suffers suffers a lot, like all survivors.

It's an experimental novel I wrote to participate in a writeathlon. Unfortunately, it didn't receive much feedback, and it's currently on hold as I'm focusing on another story.
I would like to continue it and maybe rewrite it.

Theologically speaking, people send themselves to hell, not God, because hell primarily is an eternal separation from God.
