Honestly, like a bad movie (star wars 8 comes to mind), a majority of the issues with him that i see are easy fixes. Even if hes not the most powerful entity during the Trojan War, he still brought down Achilles. And i can accept the "has to know the weakpoint" condition. It makes a lot of sense. But the rest of it kinda makes the Noble Phantasm fall flat, because all those conditions get offset by the accumulated total of Achilles abilities, making it feel impossible that it worked. As for the young boy angle, id have gotten over that if Apollo wasnt involved, or how he behaves. The backstory could have also been less aggravating, either by fleshing out Aphrodite's motives, or just telling it like Paris couldnt stand watching a beautiful woman in an unhappy potentially abusive, marriage when he knew he could do better for her.
