The minutea of his story can also be debated and I (and a lot of others) have pointed out those problems. But the decisions he made to the foundation of the franchise, combined with essentially wiping the table clean of the characters and conflicts that made Star Wars interesting have really ruined the story for me and a lot of others.
I have no doubt this was fulfilling a directive and have no doubt that KK and Lucasfilm will attempt to undo this misstep, but it pains me to watch talented people get the keys to one of the easiest stories to write for and they just can’t help themselves in a quest to screw it up.

So it's because Rey is too skilled too quickly? She was pretty skilled in TFA, so that issue didn't start with TLJ. When have we seen a lot of in-depth training? Luke had some, but not really a lot that we saw or know about. Maybe some are more naturally gifted than others.
I'm not going to say you're wrong to have your opinion--although I'm not sure what you mean by "wiping the table clean of the characters and conflicts that made Star Wars interesting"--but yours is some in-depth, next-level criticism beyond what most people seem to be complaining about.
