I'm just a beginner, I've read very few books like crime and punishment, metamorphosis, notes from the underground, hyouka and a few light novels. I have not read song of ice and fire, dune and lotr series, not a single book from stephen king, hp lovecraft. And i want write my own action fiction, even after my story is done my formating and phrasings are really bad, and i have hard time make my readers (my friends) visualize the fight scenes, my fights have hand to hand elements and weaponize the surroundings and take advantage from it. What could be the best novel and series that i should read that can help me write better fight scenes and paragraph skills (i hope it's not to poetic like dune massiah)

Try the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. The first book is The Killing Floor. Much of the book is hand to hand combat as Reacher rarely uses a weapon.
Check out the old Conan books, some great visceral fight scenes in those.
