Is there a novel where the MC uses straight up punches and kicks without a weapon like dbz or god of high school Also an MC who isn't a scumbag
Check for body refinement tags cuz those will strengthen the body and those people will use their body as weapons so https://www.novelupdates.com/stag/body-tempering/ And maybe these novels -Magic? Muscle Is Much More Important Than Such A Thing! -That Person. Later on…
Some of the important characters in The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich feel like that...I love it
they all eventually become body cultivators who duke it out. my favorite was when linley in Coiling Dragon became a mutation during the commander wars arc. his fight scene with leylin a.k.a lord bluefire was the best part of the novel.
Upgrade Specialist in Another World Protagonist starts by being a poor kid. Then plot happens, and he's off trying to cross half the country on foot, punching things along the way. He uses weapons too, once he gets good ones, but he just plain likes punching. He's also a good lad who likes helping people. Also, he basically does long-term statistical studies on how his powerswork, which is cool.
