marycatelliDawn of the Broken Sword by Kit Sun Cheah
Saga of the Swordbreaker book 1, but works on its own.
In a future after a catastrophe, Li Ming, having left the military, goes to the city to work as a jianghu -- with a combination of cyperpunkish high tech and qi-powered martial arts.
Even on the way there, he helps the bus with one of the monsters of the era. In the city, he gets a job, works on his skills, and works jobs, starting with bodyguard duty for a martial arts fighter come for a match. In a bildungsroman, he makes friends, shops for better gear, helps with an invasion, and more.
The job at the end brings a conclusion to this part of the tale, though there's clearly room for the sequels.
