You act as if only physical struggles can exist within stories. Emotional, moral, existential, religious, political, philisophical, relationship, etc. are all different struggles that have been explored throughout the entirety of fiction. And Saitama is no different.

He has the internal conflict of feeling his life no longer has any meaning. Slowly losing his sense of humanity throughout time. As emotions that are basic instict to humans, such as fear, adapting, desire for something greater no longer exist within him.

What is there to aspire to, to look forward to when you have hit the absolute top? Saitama is a man who with his own passion and dedication, devoted himself into becoming the strongest. Yet this journey ironically led to him losing the thrilling sense of being strong. Everything he has worked for was completely useless. He is a very sad character in that sense. And these struggles in my opinion are far more deep and meaningful than just "I have to be stronger than this guy."

Of course One Punch Man is silly and ridiculous. But underneath all that there are some truly great parts. And while I respect the opinions of others, I still think that whenever people say One Punch Man is poorly written due him being so strong, they are missing a central point of the story.
