Eliezer has said that one of the reasons he writes fanfiction, is that he doesn’t have to invent the world. All of the horror and badness was already present in the source material.
A large majority of fantasy settings don’t have literal hells as a key component, so I think my point is still applicable to Project Lawful if you replace “design them that way” with the more general “select for that trait”.
I do agree that this is a good point with regards to HPMoR, which is one reason why I didn’t include HPMoR in my original list of examples.
