That’s it. That’s all. That’s literally the entire purpose of the story. To make a point about enthusiastic consent.
It’s The Spire in the Woods, if you’re wondering. I needed to find a PDF because it got turned into a book and I’m not paying to read fricking Reddit posts. It’s absolutely not worth your time.

i remember i actually used to like reading nosleep (when i was in high school) but most stories were hilariously bad. especially the endings. at some point i got frustrated and stopped.
the buildups were often interesting, maybe redditors were just freestyling it and couldnt come up with a good ending idk.
the most upmarseyd shit was always awful because redditors have no taste
if anyone has actually good nosleep stories please post thx

There’s tons of really good ones actually. The overwhelming majority is fricking garbage, and it’s gone way downhill over the years, but there’s still consistently a few good ones a week, so I generally sort by Top->Week on the weekend. This week being an exception, which led to me looking for hits I’d missed. Never again.
edit:
@crat u/polterkites has some good mindfricky shit, this one is long but it’s brilliant imo

It’s episodic (long since completed) and starts out seeming like a generic “rules” story, but he subverts and subverts and subverts. It’s worth your time if you’re looking to kill like an hour or two reading.
He’s on hiatus now tho because Netflix bought a different story of his and they’re apparently spending quite a bit turning it into a movie.

I looked up a reading of 'the man in my basement' on YT, it clocked in at ~5hrs and I finished it just now, great story, and suited to a runtime that long, which not all of them are, if you know of any other good stories that long lemme know

/x/ used to be great for decent no sleep style stories. No idea where they stole them from. Maybe search for "creepypasta" instead of no sleep so you don't get pozzed stories
