If he does have a redemption arc, it would have to be during banishment. Redemption sometimes focus on repairing the original relationship, but I would like to he him banished, trying to figure out how to survive with nothing out in the real world. Being treated like shit in another kingdom, doesn't necessarily need to be slavery, but I would prefer demeaning manual labor. Like always mucking the stables.
I would want him to fall in love again, with a guy stronger than him that won't deal with his bullshit. And when he constantly loses he would have to face the fact that he just has to be a better person. He doesn't get the guy in the end, but he will continue to work to be a better person because he realizes it makes himself happier.
Im not that forgiving lol.. idk what happens to lister in the novel but for now i really want a bad end for him
But i do it anyway while gritting my teeth through sheer hatred and fury i have for Lister, idc and idk what the author is planning to do with him but it will take a cold day in hell before ill start to even tolerate his presence in the story FFS i wanna skin him and burn him alive if i could. He can have a redemption arc for idc how long but i still wouldnt bat an eyelash. I NEED HIM TO DIE HANGED OR DEAD IN A DITCH TYPE OF DEATH BY THE END OF THE STORY… the only reason i continue is thank goodness Gjord and Sylhan soothes the anger i have but not for long obviously CAUSE I STILL HAVE TO SEE THAT SHITFACE LISTER UGHHHHH
