It's not so much that I want my villains bad for the sake of being bad, but I do like their motives, intentions, and other things to be clear and compelling. Zeref's backstory doesn't really compel me. It just makes me feel sorry for him. :/ And not really in a good way because that severely lessens my excitement about anything relating to him.
