RE: Tired Tropes: The Superpowered Loser
If we're talking about Manhwa, Tower of God's Baam is basically the mirror of this trope. Somewhat of an overpowered protagonist (relatively speaking, considering the general power level of the residents of the Tower), but he's a decent, caring, if naive, human being.
Tower of God is kinda the inverse of wish fulfillment fantasies, since it's more about the cost everyone pays to achieve their desires than the act of desire-getting itself. Endorsi being the prime example of this. Or FUG in general. Or the whole Tower in general, really.
That sounds far more interesting than your typical wish fulfilment story.
