User blog comment:321SPONGEBOLT/Why I like Nolan, and why he deserves to be loved/@comment-31563773-20180717014841

His character being a Gary Stu is a 'minor' complaint since that's not what most focus on, even though it is rather annoying at times. As for his crush on Leni, there's a major difference between your example and his. In yours, you were 7, and still considered a child. At this day in age, Nolan is 15, and considered an adolescent. Age is typically the reason why something like that gets scrutinized, which also is the reason him being 15 in elementary school is a serious plot hole that should be fixed.

And the whole thing about him saying he isn't perfect...what exactly does that have to do with anything? No human being is perfect, and to find someone who claims to be is as rare as seeing a comet. That line just felt like a throw away that really didn't even need to be said other than a faint attempt to gain sympathy.
