Greetings I am looking for something to read with following criteria:

1. Non overpowered main or secondary character.
I accept strong villains like Aizen from Bleach.

2. Good Fights
Fights which are nice to read.
Non MC wins the fight because my Stats , skill is brocken.
Rare super one side fights, I just don’t like fights that are over after 1 or 2 Sentence.
The MC can and do lose.
The objektiv of the fights is not always to defeat the opponent.

Bonus points
If there is Slapstick ala Buds Spencer and Terence Hill or Ranma 1/2
If there is nice choreography of the fights like in Kung fu movie.

Thanks for any suggestions.

with kind regards
Fariy

Impossible to find, but I will look after this thread in case someone pops up with a nice rec.
Not impossible. This is my favourite that matches. (It sadly isnt as popular as it should be :blob_pat_sad:)

I try to do this but usually wind up with shorter fights anyway. If you can see my sig, you can check out my stuff (probably the worst would be Strange Awakening - the last two fights near the end of this are long and brutal though - and the best by your criteria hasn't gotten to the first fight scene yet, Digital Cowboy) and see if it fits. If not, I'll add a link or two on request.

Here are some more from my reading list that should match.

I... binged this. Overall I say its 3/5 but it only gets good after literally couple hundred chapters.
Some later arcs are 5/5... I dont know how I feel about recommending it, but it is what you're asking for.

Highly recommend as it is a very good story. But it doesn't really have the protagonist fighting, it's more psychological.

The protagonist might be becoming op in the future?

I love this one. It also should fit what you want, so it is highly recommended.

I don't read GL, but I'm sure OP will be grateful since they didn't mention anything about it. :blobthumbsup:

You could try my work. It might suit your tastes actually. It's a weak protagonist, who stays relatively weak.

Check!
2. Good Fights

Check!

Check! As in, it doesn't do that.
The MC can and do lose.
Check!
If there is nice choreography of the fights like in Kung fu movie.
I don't know if it's quite up to kung fu movie levels, but my fights are highly mobile, so check!
If there is Slapstick
Big fat check with fries on the side!

You should check out my story Henry Rider: Clown Hunter. The link is in my sig below.

Mother of Learning. Early arc is a slowburn but picks up the pace afterwards.
The Simulacrum is also a good read.

First of all, thanks everbody and everypony for all thoes wonderfull recommdation.
I don't read GL, but I'm sure OP will be grateful since they didn't mention anything about it. :blobthumbsup:
No I don´t have a problem with yuri or girls love content. They read (a lot) sometimes better than Boys Love but then again.

Aswell thanks Omni for the multiple novel recs.

You should check out my story Henry Rider: Clown Hunter. The link is in my sig below.
Also i will check out Henry Rider. The cover reminds me of batman who fights against Harley and Joker.

I wanna recommend my own story but I gotta ask what do you think about shitty grammar?
Please do , I am not nativ english speaker so they don´t sound that strange for me. I however could not find any under your name.

I have found it.

with kind regards

Hello, Might I Interest you in my own story. It is my intent to mainly focus it around fight and you get a flashy fight right at the start, but the setting is a bit complex after that, so I'm slowly building into the action arcs while balancing slice of life, comedy and funny relationships.

Voidlight

I'd call the opening fight just about Aizen vs Ichigo levels of flashy! (Though that will not be the norm of the power levels as you'll see what happens.)
