His highness’s Allure

Spoilers ahead:
Girl even if PZ didn’t have anything to do w mcs moms murder, that is not at all the only bad thing he did towards the mc. He abused, caged, manipulated, isolated, raped and stalked him. And there is literally no change, not with his behavior towards others nor QCY, as you can already see in his very first appearance in the amnesia arc. And before anyone says anything, the reason that I keep on reading is STILL because I want to get to the end and either get closure or see an actual ACTUAL redemption arc where PZ actually ACTUALLY changes and faces actual ACTUAL consequences. And also note it down for sb checking the comments for context and tw, like I wish I could’ve.

Considering the fact that up until atm (ch 98), PZ has not changed in his behavior towards others nor has he actually atoned and left QCY alone nor treated him any better, it doesn’t seem like there will be a satisfactory redemption arc, where after getting the proper consequences, he, PZ, changes into a non-maniac. Honestly, looking back a bit, it would have been better if the story had ended with QCYs suicide, with the plot afterwards being an entirely separate book with an entirely different mc. Instead, the amnesia plot device made the story look cheap by allowing PZ to get by without facing any pushback, neither physical nor mental. But, in the case that PZ does actually face equal punishment, either through others or himself, I really think this story would be great and recommendable. The way it’s going rn tho, it’s a complete romanticisation of abuse and unconditional forgiveness, even making the latter seem like a virtue to strive towards.
To all victims: Your abusers aren’t your lovers, their twisted love is unworthy of being labeled love, if they can even feel something remotely close to that. You don’t have to forgive to move on if there aren’t any grounds to forgive on, instead, respect yourself, call a spade a spade.
