@The above comment

Oh right, I kinda glazed over that. Unless he became Hawkmoth and gets his powers after Tikki and Plagg leave to find Marinette and Adrien and they either haven't put 2 and 2 together and just neglected to tell them that bit of backstory like how Tikki didn't tell Marinette about LB's ancient history.

Still though, the tone and target audience is one thing, but it's also just a bad story idea. The part about CT having to sacrifice LB, it feels like bad fanfiction where the writter just overloads the drama too much. And stories can still appeal to more mature audiences without going that route, going dark for the sake of dark is a superficial way to seem more sophisticated. Look up the TvTropes article for that:
