@A I understand that but now the story just isn't good and has lost it's meaning as it doesn't evoke a sense of catharsis (let go of negative emotions when a tragedy comes to fruition) in readers anymore. The point of the story was that Linghan has an anagnorisis (awareness of his mistakes) because of peripeteia (change in circumstances) and thus goes through a redemption ark to win back Jiran's love.

@[Clock Zero] that sounds nice but does it actually happen like that in the novel? Based on the comments/spoilers of the novel, the ML is terrible and doesn't really admit his mistakes or get better..  Kidnapping, raping, forcing etc is not a redemtion arc...
