My point was is that I've seen these kinds of stories before, ones in which the author attempts to make a positive afterlife seem like a bad thing because of the whole 'eternal paradise' concept. They then imply that nihilism is then somehow a more logical and sensible position to hold. The moral of the story then goes something like 'afterlife bad, nihilism good'. The kinds of criticisms one could make of omnipotent characters in fiction and trying to write them, as well as omnipotence as a whole, can often be applied to the idea of writing a 'bad Heaven' as well. 

I don't blame you if you haven't heard of Creepypastas before. They were all the rage in the late 2000s and early-mid 2010s mostly with teenagers, but they've died down quite a bit in popularity. It's where the likes of the modern myth known as the Slenderman originated from I believe.

Okay, no worries ! And Nihilism has always been much more sexy as far as I can remember.
