In that term Vali is the typical MC's rival in a story. He gets everything, always is ahead of the MC, doesn't do much work to get his power, I can keep going. At least issei works hard, trains everyday, doesn't have any special trait or ability like every damn character in most novels these days. The only thing he has is the dragon body in which Ichi gave him. The term talented is overused in every series that has come out. He's considered the weakest sekiryuutei in history. Ichie gave him the body and power of infinity because he wouldn't be able to compete against vali or other characters in the series and still he has a lot restrictions to his power and he's balanced as hell. He still has to work hard to master his power and not just unlocked it and keep using it like Vali. So yeah while you consider issei boring and typical MC, I consider Vali the sasuke of every shonen. But that doesn't mean they aren't interesting. But Milicas he'll be a copy and paste of his father, while that Lucifugus special power even exist, every devil is the same, with their power. They have power of destruction but they only use it differently. So milicas is no different than his parents.
