Conversely to a lot of the comments, I personally think the direction this story went in was novel, subversive, and made a lot of sense. As we learn more about this world and the powers within and around it, we figure out why the characters act and work the way we do. The delivery of information is timed well and is wholly in sync with the plot progression.
I’m so glad they didn’t just go the direction of ‘powerful guy punches everything and everything turns out ok lol’, like I thought they would at the start. It’s a refreshing take to see an ‘unwilling pacifist’ with that much power. The limitation itself is novel and works well in the world.
I will agree sometimes the comedy isn’t exactly well timed, but that’s forgivable, because when it works, it /works/.
