head in my hands. I've realized one of my weaknesses in fiction is corruption arcs
#this might seem obvious to other people but to ME im surprised realizing how often my favorite part of a story#is a character getting Way Worse before they can eventually get better#all three mxtx series involve this and it's always my favorite part#binghe's post-abyss blackening is an easy example of a corruption arc#wwx's yiling laozu era too. which is or course my favorite part of the story#and then all the shit xie lian goes through during his first banishment#though compared to the other two his is more of an aborted corruption arc#bc the point is he doesnt get driven to the point bwx wanted to drive him to#which is my favorite way for a corruption arc to go#someone gets worse and worse until they realize wait holy shit this sucks#it's not just mxtx novels. the clean-up arc in mp100 makes me crazy#im sure i could think of more but i eat this shit up apparently
