Male Female

So I want to tell you about a novel. Maybe it is not exactly what the prompt requires me to do, but as I do not read nonfiction books, I would like to describe a novel. So, this novel is about a man, a martial artist, who died young at the hands of his childhood friend who was corrupted at the time. After his death, he reincarnated with a special power that allows him to rectify his past. The general plot is really exciting and I can read it for hours. It gives me some moral lessons about not giving up and pursuing your dreams. I had stopped reading it for a while due to no new chapters being released, but now I have started reading it again.
