Yeah, a bit of an issue, I'd like to discuss. Well, essentially I'm mostly complaining about my dilemma. I'm going to introduce a character in my long time story (over 150 chapters, doing well) that I personally quite like. Yet I fear there might be a bit of backlash. The raw chapters are basically already written, so it'ts going to happen anyway.
Essentially, the new character is a cosmic agent of order who's sent to basically shackle my MC who's an eldritch world devourer. Okay, she's a bit too nice to actually do so, but the fact that she can means that the upper orders at least want her contained. Now essentially the cosmic cop is super chill. She's not too violent, asks her politely, of course gets refused, and then it starts. The main thing, aside from being a pain to the MC, is that she actually is powerful enough to get through with it. So next to opposing the MC, she's also going to put a huge downer on what essentially might be a power fantasy. While the MC had her fair share of troubles at this point, she is in many cases still the biggest fish, so getting put into place by a cop is a bit of a damper. Furthermore, that cop isn't even alone. She got a being she's working for who's even worse. And I mean that in the best sense, as I like that character as well. Basically, they are original characters I created long before even starting my story and now I got presented with the opportunity to actually let them have their turn as well. But as I said, they have quite the ungrateful job, given what they have to do. (it won't have actually negative consequences for the MC, but it's still a bit worse than a mere warning)
I guess this post is mostly me testing out the feedback water.

That sounds very exciting! If I were you I would stick with it, sounds really awesome! If it makes the most sense for the story reader *can* forgive annoying things. Sometimes. Anyway, good luck
