Comment by Alisa Dmitrieva on Eleceed - Chapter 335

@Alisa Dmitrieva i understand what u trying to say...but he betrayed the people he could've relied on (academy) so he basically did that to himself

@Alisa Dmitrieva   understand that nuance of maybe if support was there it would have been better but these were all his personal choices,in the end he didn't have to choose the path of vengeance.

@Fujoshi but that just means that even if he was rude or pushed people away, nobody really understood him or wanted to be there despite everything. we saw this very often in such stories

@Alisa Dmitrieva

@Alisa Dmitrieva Yeah but we don't see that in this story. The author doesn't really dive to deep into Duke's backstory but has shown he comes from a privileged background and wanted to be Shrauders disciple despite the image. He's shown as a betrayer so why apply your own backstory storyline?

@Golden 🤔 I don't get what you totally mean, but we did deserve a backstory for Duke. Duke was strong, infact very strong but Jiwoo is a talented learner and devoted one too and to top it of he is the mc so yeah there is more to him. But this world is verse, for me I just did want the whole story to be seen from Jiwoo's eyes. I wanted to see the lifes of most of the characters that Impact the story, and why they built that type of personality. 

I can't deny I really wanted Jiwoo to win in all the frights he fought with Duke for the first time I sew him but that doesn't mean I didn't want to see what his family is like and how the author was going to play with his family dynamics.

@Daniel Davies

I was referencing the creator of the post using other stories to defend Dukes actions. Also I get the author doesn't really detail others live but they show enough that tells you what type of person the character is. With this we get to see how they change after meeting Jiwoo. Its over 300 chapters in and the only things that's really changed about Jiwoo are his fighting capabilities. While Kayden, Jisuk, Subin, Woo, Kartein, the Korean Awakeners, world awakeners, Frame, and others have went through character development. The backstories aren't needed to push the plot so why oversaturate the story with them?

I'm sure if Dukes family had something to do with his personality we would've got a backstory like Jisu or Sucheon. Duke was simply a person from a privileged family who seeked validation from his idol and would to do whatever he could to get it. Sometimes it's just that simple, and I appreciate the author for that. Every villian character doesn't need traumatic backstory on why their an ass****. It's okay to write about people who let there egos get the best of them w/o a sob story. 

@Alisa Dmitrieva at the same time he's a fictional character and the author purposely made him that way. The author created him to be a villain so I'm gonna hate him.

In a way, duke is similar to sasuke. I don't know how the story for Duke will turn out though. Hopefully for the better.
