Why would someone enjoy both reading or drawing such a thing is a mistery to me. This feels like a cheap version of "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom" by Pier Paolo Pasolini This book follows a premade scenario exploring recurent themes such as 1. A character depicted as prepubescent or ambuguously underage. 2. Sexual abuse framed as "education" or training. 3. Routine, repetition or conditioning. 4. Elements of care such as feeding, bathing and fine clothing juxtaposed with abuse. 5. And of course, power imbalance, restraint and loss of autonomy. From a storytelling perspective, this kind of care mixed with cruelty is often used to highlight feelings of domination, dependency or corruption. The "kindness" after the abuse also reflect dynamics often seen in coercive relationships. but in fiction its mostly exagerated for dramatic or fetishistic purposes. The work's seems to be trying to explore taboos or transgressive themes as a way to provoke. The repeated cycle of abuse followed by care and preparing for the next day also resembles themes of institutionalization or grooming. It portrays abuse as normalized, which is psychologically disturbing since it reframes exploitation as an ordinary educational process. The point : The work mistakes the accumulation of taboos for psychological depth. Its imagination of horror feels immature, as though it were assembled from half-understood adult concepts. Rather than examining power, sexuality, or cruelty in a psychologically convincing way, it simply piles together recognizable taboos and repeats them until they become almost cartoonish. As a result, its conception of evil is so literal and repetitive that, instead of becoming more horrifying, it becomes strangely juvenile and almost absurd.
