Hey, this is my request to you on your book—Wounded king.
I personally don’t think he deserves a happy ending after what he did. A man who tortured, raped, and pushed an innocent girl toward suicide cannot simply be softened by giving him a tragic past or a new love interest. Trauma does not erase accountability.
What makes this more disturbing is that the victim never got justice, never got healing, never got another chance at life— yet he gets luxury, love, comfort, and redemption. It feels unfair and emotionally cruel, especially to readers who have experienced harassment or abuse themselves.
If you want to write a redemption arc, then show genuine guilt, consequences, remorse, and accountability. Right now, it feels more like his actions are being romanticized instead of confronted. Some characters should live with the weight of what they’ve done, not escape it through a convenient happy ending.
