... which is why you establish backstories for them.

If all you want is a target dummy, go find one of the many thousands of shonen stories about a massively overpowered characters beating up on "gwee-hee-hee, I'm so evil" bad guys.
The irony of talking about "massively overpowered characters beating up on bad guys" when we're in the middle of a super cliché tournament arc.

Please, MC levelled down to 1 to end up sparing that one "gwee-hee-hee, I'm so evil" guy with the background story of a target dummy a few chapters ago and he had more of a backstory than MC has ever gotten since this started.

I'd rather have the author focus on the relationship and stories of characters that have already been introduced instead of having another grunt defeated by MC as another stepping stone. We already know MC is OP.

when i started reading this manga, i didn't have much hope. And it's true for quite some time. But now, I'm HOOKED.

Why are so many people complaining about character backstory? Developing characters is like half of storytelling. If all you want is action, go watch a YouTube compilation of buildings getting demolished
@zorque

My biggest gripe isn't that we have chapter long flashback backstories of support characters, it's that all this effort is being put into temporary characters that offer little more then punching bags to the MC before disappearing into the other.

I would much rather this effort be focused on the MC, his childhood friend, the russian loli, and maybe even the team he keeps running into and helping out.

Instead we are given back stories for semi-antagonistic rivals who's main claim to fame is either, mirroring another person's combat style, mimicking others skills and abilities, or directly copying copying their opponents level and stats. What's next, an asshat that steals his personality/identity and tried to destroy his reputation?

The problem here is not the development, but rather who is being "developed"
(edit: and how)

I love seeing the MC think because you know he's doing some NAFARIOUS stuff.
