Raga's complaints were legit and justified. For one, why would he kill his family? Secondly, why would a bunch of weakling peasants march up a mountain (presumably one that was either grimm-infested at the time or prior to him being there) to fight what they would have thought to be a hardened killer that could no doubt slaughter the entire crowd with ease? Though he did mess up the "lone young boy" part. See the next paragraph for why.

Not going to comment on the whole layout thing, since I'm not really sure what's really going on with that. Probably has to do with it making it hard to find the specific information you may or may not be looking for. Like his age, for instance, as noted above with Raga.

The Faunus War thing has to do with you mentioning it, and is most likely nothing more than a misunderstanding. I myself had to spend a bit reading that paragraph to actually understand what you were trying to say, so I certainly wouldn't blame SZ for being mistaken about that. If something can't be easily understood on a basic level after reading it once over,

The Semblance issue is a very valid complaint, as none of the semblances have shown any sort of influence over their user's mental state (remember, Yang's is influenced by her mental state), and it would be rather weird for one to do so. Especially when it goes completely against the owner's personality, given that it's supposed to represent some aspect of its owner. The examples of odd semblances may be quite a ways out of canon, but at least they can concievably be explained as actually representing some part of their owners, whereas you more or less state that your character hates his semblance in its entirety, and at no point do you even hint at him having any bloodlust otherwise. Sure, you state that some part of him wants to continue killing, but that doesn't explain how he got what started the killing. And, even if you did, it still wouldn't make much sense for him to both have it and hate it. The only plausible reason I can find is hating being unconscious during the bloodlust and not being able to remember anything that happened during the bloodlust, and even that wouldn't work since it's still a similar problem to what you've already got.

The strength level complaint is about as unfounded as your strength level reasoning, as nothing in canon has shown so much as an inkling that any of that is or isn't doable (short-ish-distance flash steps achieved via semblance and dust/glyph/both-powered landskating are different from running, exploding a giant snake's head with one's aura-empowered hands is different from breaking rocks with one's bare hands, and having a forcefield around you and regenerating small wounds, mostly small scratches and bruises from what's been shown, is very different from actually getting stabbed), but ultimately SZ is erring on the side of caution. Which is the side that should be erred on in this kind of situation, given our lack of information on the subject. Kodai gets by because he's a friggin' old man, a war veteran, and taught combat classes at Beacon (you know, the prestigious academy that trains what is probably the majority of the best hunters from Vale), and you can't be old man like that in a world filled with monsters that are trying to exterminate your entire race, as well as another similar race, without being a badass. Also noteworthy is his 80 years of combat experience. When you have that much experience fighting, you tend to pick up on the smaller, more telling movements. And know what to do to not lose and/or win when you notice said movements. Hence the term "combat experience". Not really sure why you think Verdantos is stronger than Glyn & 'pin, though. Didn't really see anything that would suggest something like that in his bio.

As for them not pointing out any of the faults their successor(s) did...well, there's the editing between reviews that may or may not have changed the relevant information, and also personal opinion. You didn't see them as reasons to complain, so it's not exactly that far of a stretch to simply assume that they were all less lenient about the things they pointed out than their predecessor(s).

And, ultimately, whether you want to give up or continue is entirely up to you. Given how much time and effort you've put into it already, I'd personally recommend sticking with it and seeing it through to the end. The most satisfying things in life are the things well earned.
