How does the 'bad sans redemption fanfic' genre typically portray character development?

Often, it shows a downward spiral at first. Harry may become withdrawn from his friends and lose his usual enthusiasm for things. His grades at Hogwarts might start to suffer.

In 'light and dark novels', characters often start in a state of relative naivete or simplicity. For example, in 'The Mortal Instruments', Clary starts off as a fairly normal girl and then as she is exposed to the dark world of demons and Shadowhunters, she develops her skills and her understanding of good and evil. This is common. Characters are pushed by the dark elements, like threats or mysteries, and they grow towards the light, becoming stronger and more morally complex.

In demonic evolution novels, character development often shows a shift from a more 'normal' or weak state to a powerful and perhaps more morally ambiguous one. For example, a character might start as a simple human and as they evolve demonically, their values change.

Typically, the character who is being bullied also experiences development. At first, they may be meek or afraid. But as the story progresses, they find their strength. In some bully romance novels, they might even start to stand up to the bully. This change in both characters is crucial. Take 'Bully' by Penelope Douglas. The female lead goes from being a victim to being more assertive, and the male lead goes from being a bully to being more understanding and loving. Their relationship development is intertwined with their individual character growth.

Typically, in these fanfictions, Sans's character is shown with a great deal of internal struggle. He is constantly fighting against the effects of the abuse. He may be depicted as having mood swings, sometimes lashing out because of the pain he has endured. His relationships with other characters also become more strained due to the abuse, and he may have difficulty opening up or showing vulnerability.

The character development of Sans in this type of fanfiction is usually centered around his journey from a victim of abuse to a survivor. Initially, the abuse has left him with deep - seated insecurities and a negative view of the world. However, as he is exposed to positive influences, such as a caring friend or a new opportunity, his character begins to shift. He might start to develop new skills or interests that were suppressed due to the abuse. His relationships also change, from being guarded to more open and trusting. This development is often a slow and arduous process, but it is what makes the character so interesting in these fanfictions.

Well, in many 'dark arts novels', magic is presented as a double - edged sword. It can be used for great things, like in 'The Dresden Files' where Harry Dresden uses magic to fight evil. But at the same time, there are dark magics that are taboo. These dark magics are often tied to sacrifice, whether it's sacrificing one's own morality or the lives of others. Magic is also often shown as something that can attract unwanted attention from dark entities or forces that seek to manipulate those who dabble in it.

Blacksmiths in these graphic novels can be seen as keepers of tradition. They pass down their knowledge from generation to generation. Their work is not just a job but a form of art. The graphic novels might show them using ancient techniques, and there's often a sense of mystery and magic associated with their craft, like they can create items with special properties that normal smiths can't.

Typically, characters in 'virtual world light novels' develop as they face various challenges within the virtual world. They might learn new skills or gain new perspectives. For instance, in 'Sword Art Online', Kirito starts as a solo player but as the story progresses, he learns to trust and work with others, which is a significant development for his character. This is common in such novels, as the virtual world acts as a catalyst for change.

Often, the characters start from a low point after reincarnation. For example, in 'A Record of Mortal's Cultivation to Immortality', the protagonist begins as a weak cultivator. But as he faces challenges, he gradually becomes stronger and more cunning. His experiences shape his character, making him more determined and resourceful.
