No clue about the chinese thing but I'm talking about "I'm quitting heroing".

I talked about Hero? I Quit that a Long Time Ago a bunch in the past. I guess some of the anime is out, but the stupid thing doesn't even have a wikipedia page so I'm going to have to dig around to see if it's still ongoing or what.

The manhau is ridiculously long. Basically the story picks up after the world's strongest superhero -- a youth who, after his parents are killed by monsters at a time when superheroes don't exist, sold his soul to gain powers -- saves the world from monsters, massacres the merfolk kingdom, and ultimately retires in frustration and disgust when the world government imposes regulations on superheroes, which effectively makes him an outlaw for refusing to register.

Parts of the premise are similar to One Punch Man, although the protagonist's alter-ego is already very well-established, but he hides it because of the baggage the name carries... and then his true identity, after engaging in an act of heroism because some d-list heroes screw something up, is arm-twisted into super-heroics which he pursues under a new identity (kinda?). So he mostly hides his power (because he often has to use his old alter-ego's weapons and techniques) despite the fact he can one-shot just about everything. (And he's also embarrassed by his previous alter-ego's hero design, name, etc, thinking it was juvenile.)

But a lot of the premises are zanier than OPM, including a story arc where he becomes a teacher, an alternate future story arc, etc.
