Yeah, OIALT's protagonist had, for me, a bit too much of the "shonen protagonist" syndrome. Dumber than others main characters (despite having his moments of clairvoyance), relies too much on "smart" characters (aka his sisters) and he's more powerful than anyone else without even knowing it and how to "activate" his powers. (I mean he clearly beats his father just because he's the main protagonist)OIALT's protagonist is indeed a textbook case of plot armour. And Mr. Richards after v0.2 said he would improve himself which he's done (and got bigger, stronger (ask Brody in that regard) and controls much better his abilities).
That's the reason I don't feel "attached" to him like I am with Orion.He has his own personnality, he thinks before acting (most the time) and grow up stonger update after update(and has a good lore behind his name too), characters development was what was missing primarly in OIALT.Caribdis did well not only with the LI but with the MC too and that's quite rare with AVN.
