I would say more than a little cruel but a eternity of cruelty.
God is a God of mercy. He is not merciless.
The dead who have not been freely given a new born again spirit will not rise to new spirit life on the last day. Those who have born again will rise to new spirit life.
You could say different kinds of mercy . Both eternal

Excellent scripture if you'd have pasted the entirety of that part of Paul's letters to the Romans speaking of The Creator Is Making Known His Wrath And His Mercy In Humankind
19 Therefore you will say to me, “Why then does He still find-fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 O human, on the contrary, who are you, the one answering-back to God? The thing formed will not say to the one having formed it, “Why did you make me like-this?”, will it? 21 Or does not the potter have authority over the clay to make from the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 But what if God, wanting to demonstrate His wrath and to make-known His power, bore with much patience vessels of wrath having been prepared for destruction, 23 and did so in order that He might make-known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy which He prepared-beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom He called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
The whole of the chapter is a very good read.
