shows i like:
– AOT (particularly for its character development into a darker character)
– Breaking Bad
– Invincible (for both its plot and character development)
Qualities I'd want:
– character develops to become more darker
– character has some bad beginning or something like that
– maybe a dystopian world or one with powers or smth
– maybe character gets mistreated
– (preferable, but not that important as long as the books good) male character
– I also really like plot twists

check out the first law trilogy by joe abercrombie, specifically starts with “the blade itself” – logan ninefingers has that exact arc you’re looking for where he goes from seemingly heroic to way darker. the world is gritty fantasy with plenty of mistreatment and the plot twists will mess with your head
also consider “red rising” by pierce brown if you want something more sci-fi dystopian, darrow starts as an underdog who gets absolutely destroyed before becoming something much more ruthless
I’d try “The Poppy War” trilogy by RF Kuang
The Dungeon Crawler Carl series fits your requirements.
The Dresden Files would work as well.
Hope this helps
