I'm normally more lenient on these types of stories, but it threw so many red flags at once I couldn't take it. Why the hell do I have to read about some guy watching the main character exist and become impressed at his untold, unfathomable potential?It's not that it's inherently bad to write something like that, but I found the scene in the context of the story just starting so deflating. It may not be this, but it bore the flag pole of proclamation, the yell of utter dismay that the main character could probably take a sh*t right there and then, and someone would still find profound meaning in the action.It's indeed 'a story', probably a juvenile one, as the handling of the character's emotions and core plot points were mere facades over the core focus of showing how f*cking cool and awesome and overpowered the main character will become.It's a genre of the white bread kind. White bread isn't bad, per say, but once you've tasted one you've tasted them all. Except if you go to a bakery. But that is for an occasion, and this certainly isn't freshly baked white bread.
