What are some suicide kinos? Novels where the protag is driven by the society to commit suicide without any "suicide bad" moralfagging

Roadwork by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) comes to mind. Not really particularly suicidal, but the main character is fighting against an instoppable force and it's really angstridden. People seem to hate it, bit I thoughy it was good.

i want to kill myself so fucking badly, bros.

Question: I want as large a rope as possible so as to distribute the weight evenly over the maximal neck surface area, so as to cause as little pain, right?

What was that book where the main character drags himself across the ground while he narrates? It feels similar to what you’re looking for.
>>22088614
Since this guy mentioned Bachman. There’s a book of his called The Long March about a dystopia in which a bunch of volunteers participate in an endless march where whomever lasts longer wins and every other competitor is shot. Most participant are either suicidal, desperate or delusional, so there you have it.
