Boring design? I don't find your average human who's only a little special to be boring compared to someone who is special that holds raw talent within. I like Touma since he doesn't just receives some random power boost to miraculously win in the end, but of course he does always miraculously win in the end since that's just a trait that all heroes must have.

I was also disappointed in the way Touma won, but I would honestly rather have him win this way than some super miraculous power boost that just randomly allows him to rival a god. Any other ordinary Shounen hero would overcome the situation way more ridiculously than the way Touma did like receiving new powers from bonds or something.

Is it really that unbelievable that Touma won by understanding her? I never believed Othinus to be some emotionless machine considering she still harbored human feelings. Of course my reasoning has huge flaws with no proof, but this is just what I believe in. It's understandable to not like Touma since his traits can be way to ridiculous to like at times and I did find some really noticeable flaws in the novel, but I find this to be probably the best one in the series yet since you don't see characters having their trait as a hero questioned at all. Touma can be a headache at times but in my opinion he ain't as boring compared to generic Shounen heroes.
