Is It Odd That I Became an Adventurer Even If I Graduated From the Witchcraft Institute? - Vol. 2 Ch. 11

@SakamotoDeath
It's more like "My pet died and I was traumatized because my mother said the pet that I raised, I took care of, I dictate, and I loved is just replaceable just like a toy, like a doll, like me. So I started to study necromancy hard and started killing people so I could become unique and irreplaceable."

I'm not justifying her, I'm just saying her backstory makes sense. The death of her pet is just the catalyst till she goes to the point of no return because no one is stopping her or calling her out.

What would you expect from a minor villain?
 
Well, looks like the author is took a pity for the villain and put a background story that "it's parents fault". Not a good move
 
Point is, it starts from these little things. When a capable person with a small worldview finds the means to pursue a goal, twisted it may be, big or smol, shit happens. It's not a secret that the state of well-being of a person starts from the family. It's the little things that matter.
 
the parents shouldn't have gone and dismissed her sadness by saying it can be replaced
 
She's beyond redemption when she lost her morals and start to kill her servants just to get human corpses
 
every villain in any universe started from childhood drama that so severed to the point of no return. only some children endure that events or were supported by good guardians and became hero instead. Irony, hero is just another title for assassin and murderer that "follow the boss' order" to kill and take life of "villain" and don't think much about it. and apply that to IRL
 
i really HATE when authors do an expose on the villains background, i just DGAF
it takes away from the real story, and is just filler garbage
 
And so the villains prevail yet again. They go into people (goblins) homes and murder them all, and now they even attacked an innocent hero who was getting close to saving the world.
 
With the backstory of hers, I thought that she won't be killed, but all is well, she got what she deserves
 
I think the backstory is important even for a villain. It gives reason to what they are doing. Whether or not they deserved sympathy depends on readers. It's much better than 1 dimensional evil caricatures that are evil because 'I am doing this coz I'm evil.'

Most villains have some goal to achieve whether for personal benefit or for some greater purpose they deemed important enough to conduct evil deeds to achieve it. Yes, some are sadistic for the sake making themself feel superior. But that is a personal reason, for themself. While some do sadistic deeds for the sake of research either for self satisfaction or the greater good. All must have some purpose in order to give them purpose as a villain.
