He's more like an amoral douchebag, nerd, and an idiot, and the game frequently makes fun of this, but at the same time manages to be really capable, and pretty cool.
The plot is slightly disjointed (it seems to insist that Lo Wang has some kind of arc, as for why he turns against Zilla, but to me it kind of just seems to happen spontaneously), but I think the characters and the premise is pretty alright. The sword combat is REALLY fun.
He has a support character that I think is actually pretty interesting.

I mostly dislike the sequel, because it kind of takes a big shit all over the story and characters of the first game, Lo Wang is reduced to way too many dickjokes, and his new support character was intended by the devs as some kind of morality pet or conscience, which in my opinion is the most misguided idea possible for a character like this, Lo Wang, at least this iteration of him, isn't supposed to be an idealized hero, he's an asshole anti-hero at best. She's an annoying bitch and you'll learn to hate her.
The weapons kinda feel better, and the graphics are nicer, but the gameplay is in my opinion really awful, it's like a knockoff Borderlands with """"procedurally generated"""" levels (in reality the same 8ish levels recycled endlessly for the entire game).
It has that kind of thing almost like Diablo, where you keep looking for better upgrades, except there's WAY too many and they're WAY too incremental or even insignificant.

It was a fun game and I liked him as a dumb asshole protagonist.
