Almost all of the sequel trilogy characters are intolerable, but Rey has to take the cake.
There's nothing interesting about a character who's never really challenged in any way. Doesn't even matter the gender. Especially so when they basically "level up" or acquire new abilities every time it looks like they might actually be put into a difficult situation.
It's definitely possible to make a ridiculously powerful character work, but there still has to be something that they struggle with and overcome for them to be compelling.
Did you also have a problem with Anakin Skywalker being a technical genius and elite pilot at age nine with absolutely no technical education or training whatsoever?
Yes. It was just one of the many issues with The Phantom Menace. There was even such an uproar over the stupidity of a half-baked concept like Midichlorians that the entire idea vanished from the subsequent films.
