I honestly prefer this version of the story. Way too many fanfictions on this site give their mc some op hyper diversified bullshit powers without the mc putting any work into it, which is just lazy writing. "Oh, not only do you have telekinesis, but also can summon Master Chief from Halo with all of the future tech as well using some bullshit setting of his soul reincarnating within your body? And you have a system that let's you magically get op because you went on a quest to kill 10 rats from your mom's basement? That's great and totally believable." Having the phoenix force would have made almost any confrontation with other powerful beings completely anti-climactic. "Oh, is that the Hulk and Thor rampaging? Let me just flick my wrist and they're dead." You might as well end the novel right then and there. The problem with many fictions on this site is that the mc goes from 0 to 100 in no time at all with almost no effort, character development, or struggle. Do you know why manga and anime like naruto was popular? It's cause there was gradual and relatable development in the story line. How ridiculous would it have been if naruto went from getting his ass kicked at the academy to fighting off pain within a few months? Author, if you're reading this, for the love of anime god, please don't do the same shit as everyone else on this site does. Keep it slow and believable, it is much better for the mc to use his long life, wealth, and experience to resolve problems using his cunning, and maybe some help from not too op telepathic powers, then him having apocalyptic/phoenix level of power that throws all of his previous development into the proverbial dumster. Great job so far!
I agree with you that it depends on the story. Depending on the story's setting and what power level the mc starts off with, then it can turn out to be an entertaining story, like Onepunch Man or even the Hulk, although some of his powers also get blown out of proportion. However, the story in this case gives the mc a pretty clear immortality power and progresses for the first couple of time skips spanning over 100 years as it being his only power. Now, all of a sudden, the mc gets op Phoenix powers because of "reasons"? That wouldn't be good storytelling, that is just the author running out of ideas to push the story forward and so he/she uses a spontaneous power-up of ridiculous proportions. It's one thing of using something like a super-soldier serum to give the mc a slight physical power boost, that MAY somehow synergize with his mutant genes, since they are both of the physical strength/healing/endurance type, and cause a stronger effect then with Captain America. But if the same serum somehow gives the mc the power to warp reality? At this point I call bullshit, as with many actual comic books. There has to be a logical explanation that is not too farfetched as to why/how the power up occurred. For example, if for the majority of the story the mc has fire powers, and then the author runs out of ideas on its various applications, they can't just say that the mc can now all of a sudden control time because of the following logical leaps--->fire powers means that mc can control the vibration rate or movement of atoms, which leads to them being able to stop their movement, which means that they now have ice powers, which means that they can somehow stop time cause they can stop the atoms from moving. That, my friends, is a MASSIVE leap in logic and it immediately shows the author's lack of creativity, as is unfortunately the case with many comic books.
Tokyoghost:honestly it all just depends on what type of story it is and how its written/or played out if its done well it becomes a good story and if done wrong then the opposite happens
