It's a pasta, but you cannot deny that the description is true and perfectly reflects the comparison from the /tv/ pasta when looking at their respective volume 2 sub-plots and their respective sequence 8 and 7 fights. You had Lumien literally ambush someone in his own room like in the positive No Country for Old Men example of the pasta, while Klein's battles tended to be of the childish "my counter counters your counter that counters my counter that counters your first attack" variety of battles from start to finish, especially after he reached Sequence 7.
LotM packaged this impressively well and you got so immersed in the beyonder absurdities that you didn't notice this when it happened, which it definitely does better than shows like Sherlock /tv/ (I only watched like maybe 1-2 episodes of that ever quite long ago, so I can't say too much about it), but objectively speaking if you look at these battles in isolation, they really do look silly like that.
