MC is reincarnate person we don't know who that is or which age he actually comes from, standing up for himself is good but then author takes a huge smelly dump on the entire series by making all the original characters appearing to be self-centered, lazy, idiotic and manipulating. Hagrid a guy who can wrestle with trolls and fight death eaters is shown as superstitious and don't want to take care of harry anymore because he can speak parsletongue from the beginning, Snape is shown as self-centered, Minerva as lazy, Dumbledore as a manipulator and many other changes for other characters. MC comes out as psychotic power hungry who uses children as lab rats to train his magic (and kills them too later redacted by author) and steals just cause he can. Wants to be a loner and shuts everyone out arrogantly and claims no one ever did nice things for him. He lives a self-fulfilling prophecy life where he is a loner and a possible end villain by behaving like arrogant young masters from xianxia

LIKESnape is quite self centred in the books. Dumbledore is either manipulative or a bit incompetent and uncaring or run ragged(doing too much). Those are the only way to rationalise the plot points of the original works because they are illogically thrown in there to make a plot. As for the minerva take, I would like to say she is in denial of the wizarding world's and the school's problems.
If i chose a person who really got scew to look awful its Ron. The movies diminish Ron and idolises Hermione, this story does that even more. The few times you see him, he comes off a bit of a git. Considering the love interest in the original, he kinda coming off as a bit of a Snape, that says know-it-all instead of mudblood. I really feel like this is based on the film more than the books looking at how socialable Hermione is trying to be.
