DA

I do it semi-regularly in limited third, so it's still tightly their POV but with slightly more shielding for the reader. I've also done a first person POV of an interrogator for a police state (he wasn't quite a torturer, but only by dint of having other people to do the messy stuff for him). It's not really that much harder than a good character? Everybody has their own logic for the way their world works, it's just a matter of trying to figure out what this person's is.

That said, I've never written a close POV of villain in the act of hurting someone. I've never done that from the victim's POV either, though, preferring to work by implication and then skip to aftermath, so I think that's less being unable to do the villain's POV and more just me not being able to do a tight POV of a moment of suffering full stop. Aftermath, yes, long-term effects, yes, but the moment of pain is apparently that bit too much.

Yes, I can see how writing the scene with people suffering is not a fun doing.
I prefer to skip to the comfort part of h/c personally.
