I know this doesn't really count, and its extremely vague, but literally almost every fan fiction story ever is filled with nothing but Mary Sues.

A Mary Sue is a fan fiction device. If it's part of the original work, it is, by definition, not a Mary Sue.

A little more than that. They also integrate with the cast with no difficulty at all and are appreciated by all their allies without issue, despite the lack of established relationship.

yeah i think the appropriate term is 'power fantasy protagonist'

the underlying point--that the hero of the story essentially has no need for the other characters and operates entirely on their own, never really tasting failure or challenge--is a major flaw in many works that undermines any sense of tension for the viewer.

In addition, they usually have superficial "flaws" that end up not being much of flaws at all.

what saves jon is his heavy reliance on his peers--really whichever of them happen to be around. it's very rare that he has a moment of true personal success, so while things always seem to improve for him, there's not a sense of "why did we even watch that happen, we knew he was going to succeed" because usually he tries and fails and someone else steps in and saves his ass.

and the very few moments in which he genuinely succeeds on his own then don't seem forced or repetitive.

similar effects made luke skywalker tolerable, whereas anakin skywalker was always intolerable.

Athena Cykes doesn't even do anything better than Apollo much less Phoenix.

Her main contribution is the emotion matrix thing and generally can't win any court cases on her own.

I didn't mind him too much, but I can see how he was way too idealistic to connect well with people.

She's not really though. It's just that the books are from Harry's perspectives and Harry desperately wants sommadat ass
