Thanks for translation!

 

[Blaze_Rod]

I really hate how this is supposed to be a character defining moment for Marco.

This shit is so ass.

 

[AmetEspeon]

IT LIVES

 

[HAMBURGERMAN]

Bruh the fact where still fighting this bozo is crazy now where getting his bum ass flashbacks give me a break lmao

 

[Lightbrand]

Now he's getting a sob story too?

 

[Bootybug]

Oh no the gigantic twat villain had a sob story

 

[blablablub]

Oh no. Not a villain origin story. You can't make us emphasize with him, author!

 

[pandatime]

You know nice of the Author to make her pop out next to the tower thing since wow yeah Marco rly did grow big lol like shit thats tall yo

 

[Cloy552]

NO ONE CARES WHAT HIS SOB STORY IS

 

[ciera]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[AnotherDuck]

This is at least a few chapters late.

 

[FantasyMaster]

"And with this, I made the MC kill the bad guy 2 times. Nice, I'm don...."
"Wait.....did I show his sob backstory?"
"Dang it, guess I need to write a third round"
Author, probably

 

[MesaOracle]

A big breasted nun character being introduced rather than ending this fight? Let the author cook.

 

[Iskarioth]

You already knew he can posses people so why bother toasting him when you have no counter to him moving on to the next? Why not just jail his ass or something ?

 

[deadrabbits]

fuck his past.

 

[rookgard]

sorry not sorry, but no matter what his past story is, it is way past the point for anyone to actually care about him... the guy's a psycho, and care about no-one but himself... also, why is it that i can see the author making the MC feel pity for "Black"? this shit is so cookie cutter it's dissapointing

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

Ah, here we go. Now We're gonna have to go through multiple chapters or trying to make Black a sympathetic character...

Just die already lol

 

[dethduck]

Oh good, lets drag this on for another 7 to 10 months.

A lot of authors and mangaka really need to learn that tragic backstories isn't some magical "get out of jail" card that you can attach to any villain to add depth and have your audience feel bad for them.

There's a lot of ways to do it well, but you can't just create a hate-sink character designed to be as unlikable as possible, have no foreshadowing that they aren't anything other a two-dimensional asshole character, then suddenly drop a sobstory on them out of nowhere and expect people to feel really bad for their villain.

This guy isn't even the first, I've seen so many authors try and do this with their villains, only for all their readers to go "yeah who cares, just die already".
