I feel like I've made a thread his before...
Anyway, it's no secret that I'm...different, to say the least, when it comes to verses with a bunch of main characters having a crazy amount of hax. As a writer, to me it looks like you're just trying to stuff a character(s) you like, or if not, you're gonna write yourself in a hole. Because either every fight would either be bulls*** or uninteresting. It also creates a lack of tension when your main character can regen from anything, or can screw with 25 different concepts, etc.
I'm aware that is a flawed view set. and I wish it to change. Obviously stuff here doesn't make a character (even though we treat hax like that sometimes. I'll get to that another day), so most writers don't care about it. But then, why do critics, who don't care at all what's going on here, bring up some of those points?
So, I ask (probably for like, the third time), how would someone get around to writing good stories and characters for a crazy amount of hax in the verse in general? Like, where does Reinhard succeed where Yhwach fails, because people like the former. How would you do it?
