Not sexually.

No BL as well.

No GB too.

Fucking hell I feel like the title is enough to set off the hidden mines in Estonia.

Specifically, I am looking for stories and their MC with strong body, high defense and/ or high regeneration rate akin to Jake's in Oracle Paths. I understand that such characters are common in xianxias and most of them are actually the MCs. But just like Jake in OP, most of them either do not show it off enough to warrant a second glance or do it in such a lackluster way like a sign in system xianxia's MC having a body of nine demonic bulls that one punched people into bloody mist. This whole "MC is super strong like Superman" is often either balanced too hard with enemies that skirt around the super strength and able to cut the MC with strange powers instead of brute force or just having jokes being made with enemies too weak to either take a blow or hit hard for MC to register.

I want to see meat beating with two powerful people fist cuffing like Issei and Sairaorg or Jojo and Dio. No dodging, no blocking, just two men making continuous high impact sounds.

In most lore of sci-fi space opera, you can find some kind of ultra-resilient super-soldiers, (40k, Halo, Metroid are my personal top 3). I myself wrote a novel with a highly genetically modified human as the MC.

If you're more into fantasy, almost every isekai MC are somehow op enough to have the high defense/regeneration you're looking for.

By looking into lit-RPG or novels with a System, you'll find more resistant MC, or at least the stories focus more on the MC stats development, and defense plays a major role in most cases.

Lastly, I would recommend you all the novels in which the MC is/transform into a monster. Most of them start from the classic lv1 goblin and slowly step up, some others start from more powerful races such as werewolves, dragons, vampires etc. Generally speaking, those MC are most of the time more resistant and have better regeneration than humans MC.

Sounds like Azarinth Healer to me, the author did a great job showing how fragile her body is while keeping her alive still.

Hmm reminds me, I have been meaning to shave.
I let mine grow and let me tell you, the amount of disdain in my office has never been more real.

Either that or my BO is killing it.

no powerful people, but there ARE fisticuffs. quite bloody ones, i'd say. it stars animals instead of humans so that's the one caveat here.

I'll link the two chapters here
