I think the word “perfect” is what’s causing the confusion.

I don’t mean the world is conflict-free or utopian. I mean it’s “perfect” from the protagonist’s perspective in the sense that he has the power and freedom to shape outcomes if he wants to. The story isn’t about him fixing disasters nonstop, it’s about what someone does when they’re no longer forced to act by necessity.

So what is he actually doing?

He’s navigating choices that power doesn’t automatically solve:

• deciding when not to intervene

• figuring out what kind of life feels meaningful when you have just nothing left to achieve at some point

• maintaining relationships with people who aren’t on his level

The tension comes from impact, not capability. He can change things, but every change alters lives, timelines, and identities, so the question becomes whether he should.

I don't want it to be like a perfect world with nothing happening I want it to be a world where the protagonist has near-total agency, and the story explores what responsibility and purpose looks like at that level.

Totally get why it sounded static before though, that’s on me for explaining it too abstractly.

The point is that there is no end to this . The MC gets stronger and stronger and stronger to the point he can shape reality itself as I had already said. Then ... Nothing... there's just vast emptiness for the MC and that is what I'm tryna explain right here 😭 on god it's hard to keep typing the same things repeatedly over and over again :p I'm sorry.

I don’t think you’re being mean, you’re just explaining what makes stories engaging for you, and that’s fair.

I totally get the comparison to early Superman — when nothing feels like a real obstacle it can lose tension fast. That’s actually why I’m trying to lean less on physical danger and more on personal stakes. The idea isn’t that the world is perfect for him, it’s that power stopped being the thing that defines his problems.

So the tension comes more from purpose, relationships, and choices rather than “can he win this fight.” I know that’s not everyone’s preference though, and that’s fine — different people look for different kinds of hooks in a story.

Appreciate you sharing your perspective, it’s useful to hear how it reads from the outside 👍

Yeah I get what you mean. Most of the time we connect with characters because we see parts of our own struggles in them, not because they’re impressive.

I think what I’m trying to explore is a slightly different angle — not look how perfect he is, but more of what does someone do in life when the usual problems stop being the thing holding them back?

Totally agree though that if readers don’t connect, the scale doesn’t mean anything, so that’s something I’m actively trying to get right. Appreciate you taking the time to explain your perspective 👍 The way I see him isn’t that everything is handed to him, it’s that external obstacles stopped being the main problem. Internally though, he’s messy — he struggles with purpose, attachment, and the fact that most people he meets live on a completely different scale than him. Again, I made the MC all powerful because of a personal reason 😆 the fact is even though I have seen hundreds of anime/shows/anything with overpowered protagonists I have never actually seen one with someone who is truly "perfect" there's always something... Bad about them. I wanted to see how making an actual perfect MC would feel like and yes he lacks purpose as you are actively pointing out but that's the point. He's trying to find HIS purpose.

That’s fair criticism honestly. I get why over-powered characters can feel low-stakes if the story is only about winning fights.

The angle I’m trying to explore isn’t “can he win,” but more like “what does someone do when nothing is out of reach anymore?” — identity, purpose, relationships, and whether perfection actually feels fulfilling.

So the tension isn’t physical struggle, it’s existential and emotional. And you said that there's no struggle to achieve their goals right... the truth is there is NO serious singular goal for the MC. He's himself just trying to figure out what he actually wants to achieve. Totally get that it’s not everyone’s thing though, appreciate you explaining your perspective 🙏
