#Kind of a parallel between jay and systema lol

ahh alright the new lookism chapter was...emotionally loaded but i feel like it kind of personified whats making me disappointed with this series...it's all hype moments and aura but there fighting choreo really went downhill which makes me sad because that was one of the reasons it appealed to me and also because if you reread past chapters you can feel a genuine passion for martial arts..? if that makes sense? I could Kindddd of buy the concept of 'mastery' or whatever but its getting lame now what da hell is OVERCOME

and also it may not be That Deep but i really loved the way that earlier in the series, the character's fighting style of choice sort of informed their character? It was cool like of course gun keeps this stoic facade but is also batshit, kyokushin karate focuses on stance/physical endurance but also extremely focused heavy strikes you know? zack cannot be any kind of fighter except a boxer lol his persistence/flashiness/pride translates well into both infighting and outboxing with the amount of focus and movement it demands as well as the more gentlemanly nature of the game ... jake doing mma makes sense because it's extremely versatile like how jake can quickly adapt and work with a lot of people Ahh i could probably talk about this more but even if it wasn't intentional you could feel how the characters and story were written around martial arts earlier in the series and i just feel like .. the spark is gone idk

Like it's confusing clearly ptj likes martial arts or has at least found his niche in writing it, htf/questism/my life as a loser are all centered around martial arts, why would he throw that away in his most popular series right now for some bullshit superhuman stuff where you literally surpass the boundaries of the body what is happening
