Is it too edgy to have a protagonist commit despicable war crimes and his arc is learning not to be guilty but rather to embrace his actions?
For context, this is a fantasy book which starts with a 14 year old boy named Leowolfius in a battle with the enemy aliens. They are surrender and beg for their lives but he makes a split second decision to cast a spell and stop all of their hearts. At first he feels guilty about it, but I want to make him come to terms with it and even view his actions as admirable and brags about them at the end of the book. But I also want him to be likeable. I'm struggling to fit the two together. Help?
