And then they showed that panel of them crying. I assumed that was when they were going to get hanged. And all I am thinking about is how on earth did people's hearts not break when they saw them crying like that? I don't care how the town people feel men, fuck them. Burying them and being sorry it happened is not gonna bring the kids back. Heartless people.

You are basically me. I was having difficulty continuing this story because of the kids. Everything happening seems pointless. Even them joking around. That isekai you read sounds too cruel.
I also get very sensitive with kids. Way too sensitive. I cannot handle reading about their suffering of any kind. I avoid these stories so much. This was such a nice story, yet I can't get past the kids awful death.
Those kids being hanged is traumatizing me. I need to learn to read stories without investing every emotion I have in them. Cz, no, this can't be it.
