the martial artists in these type of stories are only 1 directional, they only think about looking cool, never about doing something unorthodox in order to win. or how to handle someone who does use unorthodox techniques.
what mc is doing is called turtle position in BJJ, watch any bjj blackbelt tourney and you will see this perfomed alot. the reason for this is, you can use both your arms and your legs to defend against your opponents and easily lock them into submissions. like i am not bragging when i say this, i have faced alot of opponents who used this against me and they were always sooooooooo fking tough to defeat. i have lost many times because i couldnt get through their guard and got submitted.
anyways long story short, something doesnt always have to look fantastic in order to be effective. mc is teaching the monk a lesson on not looking down on your opponents just because they do something like "donkey roll" which is looked down upon in the martial arts stories.
about his nickname being cringe, i agree but we rarely choose our own nicknames right? i am sure back when you went to middle/high school you had a nickname too that you didnt choose. i think the authors choices for nicknames in the story arent bad at all. they are just given by randoms because they saw you do 1 action for 1 time in your life and it just sticks.
quick story: so there is this MMA guy in china his name Xu Xiaodong, he is an ameteur mma fighter who goes around challenging fake martial artists to fight, they can use their fake martial arts that they cheat and lie to their customers to/with/about against him. he beats the shit out of those fake martial artists and the CCP doesnt like that so they lowered his social credit score so much living is pretty much a hassle for him. anyways what i wanna say is look him up on youtube very awasome guy. this story is pretty much an omage to that guy.
mc is a former MMA champion who had like 400 fights won and 18 losses before he retires after his last win because his body cant keep up with his will after 30 years of fighting. so he dies and reincarnates into murim.
ratings:
[art: 6/10] although it isnt bad it isnt fantastic either. you can tell the characters apart but there is never a moment where you stop reading the story to just look at the art except from that one fight in the tournament but that is because of different reasons *cough* moving on...
[ characters: 7/10 ] they are pretty good, no one really stands out too much, they go through their own arcs, they feel alive but they dont really have extreme impact on the story. i dont have any characters that i particulairly dislike/hate so i aint complaining.
[story: 6/10] this is a what if MMA met Murim story, although i am kind of disappointed by the lack of mixed martial arts such as BJJ/sambo, muay Thai, grapling being showcased. but i am satisfied enough with boxing/kickboxing,submissions, teakwando and wrestling being shown. although he has yet to fully shown jon jones or khabib or george st-pierre levels of fighting. it is acceptable.
[overall rating: 6.5/10] although not fantastic, its not bad either. its much better than some dipshit author who reincarnates into his story as the side character of the demon cult and suddenly he makes 100000000000 iq plays. miss me with that shit.
should you as a person read this story?
absolutely yes, its good, especially when you have run out of stuff to read this feels so good. but dont expect a 10/10 story. just go in with an open mind.
*cough* i mean, get back up ice flower phoenix or w/e you can beat here surely *cough*
