I really only like OP'd characters if they are either punished because of their abilities or recognized as morally questionable. In protagonists, they'd need to have an equally powerful antagonist who can still dominate and humiliate them. Basically, I need to feel that the series creators are not creaming themselves over their OP demi-god self-insert, but are critically using their cast of players. Generally, I like all protagonists to have to face consequences at some point or another and I need them to be flawed.

My favorite OP'd character is Death Note's protagonist, Light Yagami. He was absurdly OP'd. Insanely intelligent to the point where he makes adults look like infants, he was absolutely beautiful and everyone was in love with him. But that's purposefully how the dynamic was created. Obviously, Light's actions are in-canon supposed to be extremely questionable if not villainous, and he's such a force to be reckoned with because he's so terrifyingly capable. He also had a great antagonist in L, who was just as capable and ruthless. So, Light being OP never felt obnoxious to me, it felt like it was at the core of the story.

And it made the ending really satisfying.
