    It's just a superficial impression. There's plenty of diferences.

    Parson:
    -His last move is he trying to win at ALL costs. Supreme general.
    -Parson's enemies actually give him a run for his money on the last rounds.
    -The other side has been crippled, but it's far away from completely obliterated
    -He designed his own super weapon.
    -Parson acomplishes this when everybody around him is saying he'll fail and struggles to keep the loyalty of his forces.
    -He didn't kill all his forces. He saved the mancers and some uncroackeds and one golem survived to hold the city.
    -Parson is a fat guy who has trouble climbing stairs, really needs to worck his social skills, and was actually doing what he liked. He wanted to lead troops into battles. He wanted to crush the other side. He just didn't admit it yet.

    Marty Stu Ender:
    -His last move is basically him trying make a big disaster so he gets fired. Emo kid.
    -The bugs just stand there and let themselves get shot to death whitout shooting back.
    -Main character's plot power is so powerfull he complitelly obliterates the other side in one sweep.
    -Was handed his super weapon in a silver plate.
    -Marty Stu Ender it's the center of the atentions of it's side as they treat him as their god.
    -Just didn't kill his own friends because they were siting a billion light years away.
    -Did I mention how Marty Stu Ender is really charismatic and a martial arts expert and how perfect and tragic he is and how the entire galaxy spins around him?

    So no, not a lot of similarities really. One is a Mary Stu with a plot shield OVER 9000, another is a nerd gamer who's actually a good strategist and is doing what he wants.

    After all, Parson didn't quit from his place, he was basically replaced by Ansom. And we all know the real reason he did this is so he gets a shot at geting more indepent actions. He's a player, and players follow their own path.
