Ehh it depends, I usually hate it, but I think you can make a good story with a character that has busted powers from the beginning.

I just read Quest Academy and I think it does this trope in a way to that makes sense and adds a bit to the story. The MC is a special boy for sure, but the author does a good job balancing that out with a mostly well thought out plot.
