It just happens so often in these fantasy reborn plots

*sigh*Im getting a bit fed up with when manga has these types of characters. They just seem like really bland and shallow characters, blatantly made to have the audience hate them, so that they can then be delivered justice by the mc. They just seem like a plot device for catharsis. I wanna read something without these sorta characters so if anyone has any recommendations please suggest them to me

    That, or something with an actually well written and fleshed out 'villain' who isnt just some cheap plot device and is actually their own character lmao

    i mean they're meant to be like that. in a lot of manga and ln, having characters that are bland and one dimensional is wanted because it allows for the reader to project them or others onto the characters,

    lol I dont think youre supposed to project onto the "evil" ppl tho? But yeah, I also tend to dislike characters (if you can even call thm tht lol) made for self projection =.=

    well like, projecting someone you hate on to them.
    to be honest it can be super aggravating, but to have a black slate of a character you can feel hatred for without being dialectical about,,
    sometimes it's nice to turn your brain off.

    Ah yeah, I see your point. I guess it could be pretty stress relieving so I see how this would work for some people. Guess it just isnt my thing personally ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I think I've just seen it done so much that now I get a little annoyed lol

    that's valid!! i'm into pysch and the like so just being able to blindly hate on someone is,, relieving. no need to get caught up in dialectics like in real life.

    we've got different perspective but Im glad we were able to talk about it so civilly (lol I find thats quite rare for this site) Interesting seeing another point of view:)
