this is honestly the most realistic fighting manhwa ive read in terms of the mc's self motivation. and i like how his internal monologue is consistent with how he presents himself to others. realistically, he's a coward thats been constantly beaten down and he should stay a coward (what i mean by that is that it isnt instinct for him to know the things he learns, and to have the drive to fight people when all theyve done is beat him.) he should stay like that until he's confident in his own skills and strength that he's able to rely on his own abilities. instead of magically adapting.
