Do you think that Tasya redemption arc > Lucio redemption arc?
Apples and oranges, dear anon, they're a bit hard to compare.
Lucio had an entire route dedicated to him becoming a better person and trying to finally do good, as well as about four other routes to be a villain. Tasya's only been in the end of Portia's. We've seen a lot of Lucio doing shitty things in comparison, which automatically makes his redemption harder.
I've mentioned it before, but Lucio's main flaw is his ignorance to consequences, so until he becomes aligned with the Devil in certain routes, he rarely acts with intentional malice but when he truly becomes a villain, he can't come back from it. However, this also means when the MC makes him confront the way he's hurt people, he knows he needs to change, even if he finds it difficult and he won't be forgiven for all his actions.
Tasya on the other hand is motivated by loss and is very calculated in her actions. She knows exactly what she's doing and how it hurts other people but she justifies it by saying that she'll fix it all after she gets her daughter back. She poses more of a danger because she's tactical where Lucio isn't and isn't a pawn for larger evil in the same way, however because she knows exactly how and why she's doing what she does, her redemption is simpler. If her plan or motivation is revealed to be flawed, she'll understand that and step back to fix things.
Tasya and Lucio show the difference between redeeming an antagonist vs redeeming a protagonist. For better and worse, we've spent a lot more time with Lucio to see his good and his bad. His bad lies in his personality while Tasya's comes from her situation. Situations take much less time and energy to change and the type of redemption you prefer will depend on the types of stories and characters you like.
Lucio himself is a fascinating character to study, but people’s reactions to him is equally as interesting.
Specifically whether or not someone believes he has the right to be redeemed, and consequently if the horrible things that have happened to him are worthy of sympathy or not because he is who they happened to.
