I ask because as I'm typing this, I'm listening to a book show where the author called her two-novel series a "corruption arc", which is obviously an inversion of a redemption arc, and I wanted to add that to the work's ATT page.

Found the inversion, at least for protagonist characters. Protagonist's Journey to Villain
