This is the same as Too Powerful to Live, except that instead of a trope about villains, it's a YMMV about non-villains.

If the villain/non-villain distinction is deemed worth keeping, they at least need to be on the same side of the YMMV/trope line. As it stands, they're both too similar and too precisely differentiated. (What do you call it when the audience thinks a villain was killed off for being too cool? What do you call it when the writer kills off a hero for being too powerful?)

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

Sorry for the wait, ~winged​catgirl.

However, power and coolness are two different concepts, according to a post in the TRS discussion page. Power is not a subjective measure, while coolness is.

Declined.
