Honestly, Lloyd was one of the worst OP MCs imho : bro had serious self-worth issues due to be considered a lil bitch compared to the rest of his village, fine, okay, haha... but when EVERYBODY AROUND HIM keep repeating him that he's like a freaking God compared to the average people that are NOT from an village of Gods, he just acts like they are trying to cheer him up, to the point where it felt like he was purposely giving no values to their words...
Well, its a general Asian notion that, people other than those close to you, only give you complement as to not sound rude.
So, usually its considered that, any complement given by someone non-related, is them either trying to cheer you up or just trying to be nice, or trying to exploit you.
The exploitation notion also stems from Japanese work culture, where exploitive bosses keep giving complements to employees and say how great their work is for the company and the nation, etc. While forcing the employee to work overtime without pay or giving them too much work to complete in a short time.
Also, there is another notion that only the family would be truthful to you towards your bad or worst qualities, while usually staying quite about your good qualities (because those are not meant to be said, as saying creates bad influence).
That is unless you are the favorite child, at which point your bad qualities won't be mentioned, nor you would have self-confidence issues, instead you would have over-confidence or self-fascination issues.
Plus, the aspect of "your growth roots are important" is also ingrained in the people.
Aka., if a child is brought up in an environment where everyone scores 99 out of 100 in test, while that child scores 90 out of 100. That child would still feel undeserved even if they go and live between thousands of people who score around 60-70 out of 100. Because that child grew up with people who scored high, so it is expected that he does the same without being egotistic or arrogant.
This is the reason why, that type of "MC not believing their own strength, even after thousands of people inform the MC", is so common in Japan. Same with NTR and Beta MC's
