Most toxic ex redemption arcs in a nutshell:
1. Man does shitty things
2. Man experiences reasonable consequences for doing shitty things
3. Man gets slightly sad/guilty about said shitty things
4. Man starts to do bare minimum things required to not be a shitty person
5. Universe bends over backwards to give man the ending he wants
6. Scream into the void
Nah, it will be much later than that.. relax, relax there will be one
Is it going to be an actual redemption arc or just the ml feeling kind of bad, making a bunch of unwanted gestures towards the victim, and the victim magically deciding to forgiving everything because feelings?
Even if someone actually does repent and feel legitimate guilt, it’s way too common that they still don’t respect the wishes of their victim.
In a lot of cases they still stalk and force interactions with the victim with the goal of winning them back until the victim magically forgives everything with the bare minimum level of repentance or “improvement”
If you didn't mind spoilers then... It will be an arc which cost ML his life, it is a happy ending after all, so ofc he survives.. With struggles though
So he dies then comes back to life?
Almost died, went missing and suspected drowned, then found but in critical condition.
That’s a shame I was hoping he would croak
Pfft like I said it is happy ending.. There won't be any other second ML to whisk away MC.. the lion alpha? He will have a new partner (hinted in the 2nd novel of different series ) the spider alpha? Well he... tragic, is all I can say..
100% with you!!! We don't need redemption arc. We need a brand new ML. Who needs toxic when we can have a beautiful green forest
Is there any redemption arc? I see nothing. Is it when seme looking for a replacement gland is his redemption arc? Ughh.. that wasn't redemption. After all, he's the one caused uke taken his own life by shooting his neck and broke the gland. What's the point of the redemption arc actually? ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
