There are many variables that can cause a story to start to become boring in my opinion, heavy plot armor, main characters that are too overpowered, as well as becoming too predictable. Now all of those elements are in almost every story and can be fine in moderation but it’s when they are taken to extremes that I find it troublesome. A character overcoming a dire situation in an epic way is thrilling and makes for good reading, it’s when they face an impossible task but the solution feels forced or they win simply because of them being the main characters.
