Yep. Feel like we just had some posts about this. People who write that kind of backstory should just write a book. It's especially bad in games like D&D where you're starting out as a level 1 nobody. Some games, even some games of D&D, start at higher power levels, so the story is at least mechanically plausible.

I personally get pissed when I ask for advice how much backstory is ok for game starting at level 3 or 5 and people still tell me to be dumb nobody who doesn't know how to hold a sword, even though that makes no fucking sense.
