A redemption arc doesn't have to always happen!
This is targeted to every single media, but I want to focus especially on BL because it's getting hilarious. I was annoyed by two things:
1. Readers complained about not having good characters, cute, fluff and healthy relationships in a mainly drama/angst webcomic where they were both basically toxic as a couple and toxic as characters the beginning.
2. Readers went in adoration for asshole seme who suddenly turned into a good guy. An asshole seme who's been his asshole self for 39 chapters suddenly plays so hard the "good seme" part by becoming so affectionate and protective towards the uke.
I get it. You guys like to ship characters and to like characters, but NOT every relationship portrayed has to be turned into a healthy one just as not every character portrayed has to be turned into a good one, because sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Try to reason more with your brain, because sometimes, when you want so bad redemption arc for a character/relationship that is CLEARLY meant to be toxic, etc, you sound like you're entirely detached from reality. This goes especially when this redemption arc is so badly written and maybe even rushed out.
Both authors and readers are at fault in this. I mean I don't expect that much from cheap yaoi online, but some readers and also authors are really are out of their minds.
I like to dedicate this to seungho fuckers

And no, for the love of God, I'm not saying you can't like problematic couples or characters, absolutely not. My point is more "accept it's wrong, like it by acknowledging it's wrong and most of all don't ask for a change when it's meant to be wrong because you sound like detached from reality".
