If the writing is making a point to where that isn't the case that's fine, that still says something. I really don't think these discussions are regarding those kinds of work though and rather works that have an established cause & effect within their stories.
Character's should see how their choices affect the world around them especially when the narrative deems that important. Consequences that punish a character is a simple way to do this but I don't think that's ALWAYS effective. Regardless, their input should give an output.
Jax is a good example of this because we never see him fully reflect, he just acknowledges he's made mistakes but never addresses why these actions were bad. In this sense his isolation (and death) is a consequence of his actions but it fails to actually highlight anything.
@emilyis_emilies I kind of disagree because that's kind a fundamental part of writing imo.
Wanting a character to be convicted judicial style is odd but otherwise wanting a character to face the actions they've committed, good or otherwise, is par for the course.
