Martial Arts System by Alekzi

#panic# Can you teach me how to make a spoiler tag? Cause I want to spoil but doing it right

I honestly wonder what happened the narrative was nice up until the tournament arc where it felt like a bunch of filler out of nowhere and now it's like the novel transformed into something different entirely? I don't get it.

At this point the novel feel jumbled up for me. Video games in a martial artist novel, side characters romance (tf cares), future visions out of nowhere, TOURNAMENTS, forced missions by the system, inconsistent personality of the MC.

Dropped at 161.

It would've been better if it ended there.

Master martial artist who created a revolutionary art in his previous life but became disillusioned by the modern era travels to a world where martial arts are supreme. Instead of watching him rise with his knowledge we get to see him follow the standard system story archetype.

I thought that this story could be interesting in terms of progression, a skilled protagonist using his self created style to slowly become a powerhouse. I thought maybe the system would be something small like a dnd-esque defeat opponent gain exp, upon level up physique potential could go up or by completing legendary feats you can gain titles which allow for a damage boost while facing similar enemies. i.e. defeat a 100 wolves get [wolf killer 1] and deal additional damage to wolf enemies.

But it is unfortunately a complete bullshit system with:
Quests
A shop
A f#cking lottery
Arbitrary quantification of MC physical stats
and levels.

Where is the suspence going to be going forwards, I can see him going through the generic OP growth arc at the beginning where every character ooh's and aah's at his growth rate. Wow he is so epic every single faction would be lucky to have him, but oooo he is too coo-, I mean too in love with his freedom to join them. Or it will be martial arts high school, where everyone has equal growth rate to the MC but with a stupid arguement behind it like, "they grew up eating the flesh of superior beasts."

I hope I am wrong but with each chapter I read I feel like the protagonist is nerfed or buffed to fit into an easily written archetype and I cant read any further in. Those who stay good luck.

I hate dumbasses who lose their lives' saving people so I'm not even gonna bother with this one cause I know if it was realistic, he wouldn't go far

Just a heads up , in the very first chapters we are told of the strongest man in the world , beyond a Martial God , buuut guess what , he is only 45 and he is starting to get weaker , brah..
At that rate hell die in another 40 years by q random heart attack . It makes the whole power system seem worthless , and for that I'm out not even 7 ch. in.

And although chinese novels about martial arts aren't perfect , at least they don't give someone a nickname of Martial God when they can't even live to more than 100 and still be at their peak.
