FR...like is he just an asshole or what? I wanna know what happened? Why does he acts like that? I wanna know what's going on in his mind? TELL ME!!!
And then, it was revealed that he has trauma and people would dismiss it like your parents dismiss your childhood trauma.
That's literaly because so many authors try to use back stories to make people feel bad for/ justify shitty characters
nah... you say literally? why didnyou say so? were you there during brainstorming of the story with that said author? were you close with those so called authors and they told you that was their intention? Can you point out authors who REALLY said that they wrote the backstory coz they want to justify their bad behaviour? Point is we really dont know coz it's their story to tell. They wrote their backstory coz they just want us to know how shit their life was that's why their personality is like that and for me as a reader I like getting to know the characters. They are not shoving it to our mouths, whether the reader justifies it or not it's up to the reader.
This is true! I dont want any plot holes! Give us story not just smut! hahaha I remember reading a manwha before same author of gig of the day, like the ML's only back story was he was gloomy and unpopular when he was young and he was dumped and transformation. Like we didnt even know what his background was coz he looks deffo loaded and the author didnt even bother. I was like why tf is ML is just a manager and taking the train that morning and then at the end he has this big ass house and ordering someone to "take care" of uke's exbf. oh well sorry that's tmi haha
When the authors do not give a backstory about the ML, the readers wants to get a backstory. When they get a backstory they complain that the author is just trying to justify the actions of the character by giving their backstory. For me I'd rather be able to get to know the characters backgrounds instead of just focusing on sx scenes.
