I only use whump stories to get rage out but other than that, it depends how it's written.

If there is no story to it, and the only reason it's there is because it's there
Then it's trash
If there is a reason to it, a reason for their suffering
Then it's okay
Because you said there is no plot for it other than to just make the character suffer
Then it's trash

What is right and wrong? They're subjective.
I feel like, with no plot, I probably wouldn't like it.
On the other hand, I am a bit of a sadist sometimes, so I can't be sure.
