Wargames. The sport of gods. When titans clash on the grandest stage, wielding otherworldly abilities, the world watches. In the heart of Tokyo stands a stadium like no other, stained crimson with the souls of the fallen, echoing with the cries of countless bloodthirsty fans. When a Gladiator enters the arena, they pray that glory will triumph over death. Four-hundred years into the future, Japan sits as the cultural hub of a world rebuilding from a devastating Age of War. Those who survived now find themselves at the heart of a renaissance, slowly bringing forth a true utopia. Amongst this dwindled population lies an even smaller minority. Gladiators—those that wield superhuman powers known as Godsends and fight to the death in front of millions of rabid fans in the sport of Wargames. Seventeen-year-old Eligius Kiyoko is one of the greatest prodigies that Wargames has ever seen, taking it by storm. From the day that his Godsend awakened, he’s known that his destiny was to be the greatest to ever step into an arena. Join Eligius, Toshiro Hikari and Kuro Tamashi as they traverse a life of fame, glory and brutal violence, all while coming to realise that perhaps this utopia was built upon foundations of sand. For just beneath the surface lies a potent underworld that threatens to drag society back into the horrors of war and turmoil. With gory, ferocious battles, legendary legacies to live up to, and bloody revolutions that threaten to turn the world upside down, the first novel of Revolt is going to open the door to a universe unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. Let glory triumph over death. Welcome to Wargames.

Very cool premise. Superpowered gladiators MMA fight set in Japan. Not sure if it's because the story is set in Japan, but it's got anime/My Hero Academia. It's more grittier than it though. Without spoiling too much, people regularly get life threatening injuries, and some of them are pretty graphic. Not just for show, though, they also explore what its like to essentially become a God. The sound effects are the highlight for me this time. Some of those Godsends sound so cool and the omph the fights had really help elevate the fight scenes. Personal favorite was the epilogue. The actors did a super amazing job too. So many different accents for different characters made the world feel well thought out as well. Definitely give this one a try if you're into action packed anime style titles.
