The fic keeps trying to present him as noble, restrained, and responsible, but the actual effect is the opposite: he comes across as politically weak, strategically incoherent, and unwilling to take ownership of the power, knowledge, and leverage he already has.

That's the real problem with your writing: your protagonists have power, but they never have the intelligence, pride, ruthlessness, or sheer self-respect to use it in a way that feels real. They're not admirable. They're not compelling. They're just embarrassing.
And this Jon idiot? He doesn't even think like someone with a functioning brain. A dragon changes everything. Once he has a grown dragon, what the fuck is any council, election, or political faction realistically going to do to stop him? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
exhausting. You clearly have talent — which honestly makes it even more insulting. Because instead of using that talent to write powerful, memorable protagonists, you waste it on weak, floppy, servile nonentities who have all the power in the world and still act like frightened little bitches begging for permission to exist.
I'm supposed to believe I'm reading Westeros, Harry Potter, or some other brutal setting, but instead it feels like fucking suburban America dressed up in fantasy clothes. It's fake. It's cowardly. It completely destroys immersion.
That's what makes your work so

And your worldbuilding makes it even worse, because none of it feels honest. Every setting you touch gets turned into this watered-down, sanitized, politically correct parody of itself, where everyone magically has modern values, equal rights, and soft moral standards no matter how little sense that makes. It's completely disingenuous.
Reading your stories is fucking infuriating
because they're all the exact same predictable garbage. It's always: 'Oh wow, I have overwhelming power, but instead of acting like an actual man with pride, will, or conviction, I'll just kneel, whine, compromise, and think in the safest, most politically correct way possible.'

It's time for Waluigi!
You can enter a fandom and engage with the fandom.
BUUUUUUT the moment you want to change the fandom because you find something problematic in it, there's the door.

Hn.
I've just used QQ on mobile for the first time. It's not that different, but at the same, way different experience. Also, an author I read from, types every one of his chapters this way. How!? This is awful (compared to conventional keyboard)!
