How could you not like a cast whose lead aspires to become a "Superhero"? Well, start by making him as dull as ditchwater. Then pair him with a female lead whose most salient features are an abrasive surface and an inexplicable soft spot for the boring lead . And then sprinkle it liberally with an assortment of female stereotypes (the subservient doormat who cooks for the main character, the outgoing best-friend athlete girl). Character-building scenes of everyday life, due to the characters' total lack of magnetism, bog the story down, occasionally transforming the pace from "deliberate" to "dull;" a process that is greatly abetted by clunky exposition-laden dialogue, and long rule-establishing info-dumps. It isn't entirely devoid of narrative interest—The only spices in the mix are the Servants—but it is hardly enough to retain one's interest.
