The author needs to stop holding back the MC just to give each fight a fake sense of danger. At this point in the story it makes little sense for the MC to be struggling so much in every single fight. Like seriously, the MC struggled against every single henchmen/Elite fighter but we’re supposed to believe that the MC stands any chance at all against the leader of the Claws, who’s said to be stronger then all of his Elite fighters combined???
Based on how weak the author keeps portraying the MC to be, the leader of the Claws should have realistically killed the MC within minutes of the start of the final fight.
I really hope the author realizes thats it’s okay to allow his MC to actually be powerful and dominate some fights.
