The One-Dimensional Bully

This post is about the stories where the bully or bullies are minor characters with the sole purpose of popping up every now and then to remind the reader that the main character is relatable and/or a social outcast. We can talk about enemy-to-lover romances later, but those are entirely in their own category. These types of bullies tend to be forgotten as the main character comes into their own. It becomes less about the obstacles the main character has to endure and more about what they can accomplish. Can’t showcase that with a bully still in the way, right?
