what's a [well-written] work with a protagonist that is overpowered?
Hero's Journey books tend to stay away from MCs being too OP until maybe the end whereas most fiction with older protagonists (Logan's Run, The First Law, etc) have competent skills but still get their asses kicked and scrape by
The closest work I can think of is Dune since, at least the initial book, since Paul never seems to lose a duel due to his training but also never gets his ass handed to him from what I remember.
I guess the best example of what I might be looking for is something with a Dr. Manhattan-tier protagonist that literally can't lose but is a sadboy as a result; mind you I'm not looking for that specific scenario
