Fanfiction is not professional writing. It isn't meant to be sold, so the the writer's desires are more important than the audience's, which is ultimately optional.

Personally, I've grown tired of Cosmic Plaything protagonists constantly put through all kinds of shit just so the audience won't get bored. There's something disturbingly sadistic to that, especially considering we're supposed to empathize with protagonists (making it masochistic too), and that fiction essentially exists to escape the unsatifactions of our existence.

Personally, I want my protagonist to be happy, plain and simple. That include the necessary power to gets what he wants, and easily defeat whatever gets in the way. And if beng constantly successfull and happy makes Lawrence Selforge boring, then I'm totally fine with boredom.
