Is there such a thing as negative character development? Cuz if so, it applies here. I struggled to finish knowing this girl insta-forgives him more than once becuz

he kidnaps and confines her to a basement for 6 days

. Also, why does her dad not tell her? He wants to protect her, it shows he's a loving parent, but he's willing to stand by knowing what he does? Tf? The author puts a note saying it's up to readers to decide whether the MMC is redeemable, but he never actually does anything to get redeemed.
