Why is Narutoverse so popular? Just asking, because I've watched the show and like I'm not bashing on people who like it. I'm just saying I don't understand why it's so common.

While the open-endedness of the powers is neat and all, the outright limitations subjected to the characters is just like. Awful.

Like, you're never the best, because the protagonist literally becomes Jesus Christ right near the end. 

The coolest powers are limited to ten people, the tailed beasts.

And if you make your character stronger than that, you're making a Mary Sue. At least according to other people who play with Narutoverse characters.

Like. 

There's so many other ways that you could go about it, y'know. And I honestly don't see the appeal.

What I've always done and liked with Naruto Verse is when we go, "Nothing from canon is canon but the general powers available to everybody." Tailed Beasts? Nope. Super god powers? Nope. Setting? Nope, different countries and clans. Just the same magic system, effectively, with the crazy near the end cut off.

When I watched Naruto, my favorite battle was always Kakashi vs Zabuza, I really liked the power level and mind games of that fight, even if it was a little spy vs spy one upsmanship. And that's the power level I like in Naruto Verse RPs. When a person pulls out their super rage beast mode totally not a tailed beast power, I always responded "Kay, I throw a smoke bomb. Have fun ticking off your proverbial life bar while I hide."
