My MCs (and characters in general) are too powerful.
I write fantasy but my characters are still too fucking strong. This is one of my MC's (non-exhaustive) skill list:
>Combat magic
>Barrier creation and barrier breaking
>Sealing magic
>Summoning magic (infinite summons)
>Godlike perception magic
>Remote communication and control of allies/summons
>Teleportation and dematerialisation
>Hand to hand combat, also weapon skills
>Healing magic
>Possession
>Transformation into an eldritch abomination
>Creation and use of fake bodies that can be remote controlled
>Mystic arts
Literally the only reason why resistance against this guy is even conceivable is because his nemesis is basically the Sun if the Sun was a human.
I am at my wit's end. Writing any kind of conflict with characters like these is basically a non-starter, especially since I have a preference for mid-tier type plots and fights, whereas my characters seem to be pretty up there in terms of abilities. I think I might be a bit brainfried from all the stuff I watched as a kid. I think to myself, "if there's no super high power levels, I guess it's all good". But if there's god tier abilities involved, it doesn't really matter what you do with the power levels.
It feels like there's something obviously wrong with the way I approach planning powers and conflicts, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I know that some people can really make the super ultra high power level stuff work, even stuff much more absurd than this. But I just... can't. I have half a mind to just not write fantasy because of this, but that would also suck because I have by far the strongest affinity for fantasy settings.

>60k words of planning notes
There's zero chance I can remember this and write it all, properly, in the correct chronological order, without missing something and creating a plot hole.
It's over.
