A little disappointing for a story based on one punch man. Reads like one of those fan tics made by a 12 year old. Tsarck, I really expected more from you. P.S. Justifying every part we hate about your character by saying “oh well that’s what a geek/nerd would do” is so f*cking annoying. The novel isn’t terrible but every time I read that it puts a bad taste in my mouth. STOP SAYING THAT, LITERALLY OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SELF INSERTS! The character is pretty disappointing btw.

*sigh* Seriously dude it was said only a few times and this is just the beginning, the story just started. But honestly i don't understand why he's so disappointing, i mean for now i think he's adapting pretty quickly, and he still needs to understand this world better before doing anything big.

I mean the point of one punch man is that he is invincible. No, he isn’t super strong or supremely powerful, he is INVINCIBLE! That’s the entire reason why One writes the webcomic around One Punch Man while really focusing on the side characters like Child Emperor or Phoenix Man, etc. The point is that One Punch Man is the one above all, he is more than the epitome of strength; he is pretty much Above God level.

Also, before you make the excuse he is learning the skills and strength of Saitama. Saitama has no martial skill. The entirety of his strength lays in his Godly strength. This shown through his fight with final form Garou. He even comments on Garou being “weaker” after he becomes even bigger and stronger because Garou had lost all control and could no longer utilize his(Garou’s ultimate technique) “God Slaying Calamity Fist”(called that I think). In fact, without “full control” of Saitama’s body, he would do even more damage, limited to only serious punches. If he truly had not control, he wouldn’t be able to limit his power.

Yes, yes you're right, but just a quick question. And ? I mean what's the point of this explanation ? You wanted to show me that saitama is stronger than anyone but i know, and in my novel it was never shown that he wasn't invicible or supremely strong. The only moment that could have gave the impression that he was weaker than he should be was he was fighting against the monkey monsters.

Monkey Monsters? lmao Tsark it was a dream about where he thought of an exciting fight and he still one shotted them and they did some damage. I don't get your point of him being not having godlike strength and in the story when he tried to hold back he still one shotted them the only time he did not was because of on the last episode of the first season the Final Boss(Don't remember his name) had armor on and could heal fast

And I did not the fanfic yet but I am just agreeing with Immortal_Potato of how strong Saitama is

actually it doesn't even make sens to try to qualify his strange as godly or anything. That's the whole point of the jock... he is the strongest, whatever you try to make him fight, he will finish him one punch, that's all.

..........I am not supposed to tell you that Monkey Monsters and Subterranean are different creaturesw right ? And i am not supposed to tell you that Saitama didn't wanted to collapse the whole tunnel so he held back, something that he can do, but never does because he never cared ? Of course i am not.....Or am i ?

Well just read and you'll see that he simply hold back sometimes, and sometimes he doesn't. He always and will always be the strongest.

Not if he holds back, as it was shown in the fight against Boros. But i am sure it doesn't count, right ?

To tell the truth i don't know, i feel like we may make a debate about what can be called holding back. Ex : When he punch someone, he always make sure to use enough power to one shot his ennemies. In this case, can we say he is holding back ? The only reason he didn't one shot Boros was that he used the usual level of power (enough to deal with earth monster), so when Boros, the strongest being in the univers come home, that's not surprising he didn't use the right amount of power. He wasn't holding back, he was underestimating his ennemi, that's the difference. Once Boros's power clearly estimated with the fight, he used his medium punch, perfectly enough to one shot him just like any monsters of earth. I'm not saying you're wrong by that, just that somehow, it's not really clear (to me at least). I feel all this may depend on what you mean by "holding back".

Well yeah,it's kinda confusing because Saitama seems to be quite a troll about his strengh. No matter what he says you can never know how much of his strengh he used, and that's the problem. But in this fic, the New Saitama decided to use his weaker punches to just send the monsters flying away a little, because he didn't wanted to destroy the tunnel. Also pretty much everytime he punched someone, he used enough strengh to kill them on the spot, but that's because he knows just how much strengh he needs to use. So actually this new Saitama is still OP, much more than any other character, but he hold back because in the end he wants to know just how powerful he is compared to others, but also to lower himself to their level.

Imagine if there is another person that is like saitama.(Being bored and have the same strength as saitama)
