Writing OP Characters

[Story_Marc]

Decided to tackle writing OP characters more now, from the perspective of "this is what I've noticed works." Hopefully it can help you out!

Thank you!

I might be wrong to ask this, but I haven't seen a lot of writing questions lately on the forums so I'll ask it anyway.

How do I apply this in a light-hearted/slice-of-life story? How do I add depth to an OP character but not make it too "serious-y"?

Thanks for the vid btw! Always looking forward to more!

I think I picked this up from another tutorial, but if an OP character gets in a fight, have the fight not be from the OP character's point of view. It makes him / her seem less like a bully.

Also, there are two types of fight scenes, realistic ones are a flash of chaos that end quickly, and over-the-top ones that are more like a performance.

Not sure of that helps.

I'm writing a somewhat OP character and this helps. I already implemented many of the points but I need to constantly check and double-check because it's too easy to get carried away by the power and rush to the fight scenes.

There's quite a bit there for those who look.

Also, yep!

It's funny how in JJK the most OP character had to be absent for most of the story, and now that the other most OP character is in the story (Sukuna), you have to throw everything at him
