    I recommend a modern martial arts novel. The male lead doesn't have much romance; it's primarily a text-based, visceral read, with detailed descriptions of fight scenes and clear explanations of various martial arts styles. The pacing is well-balanced, the plot is tight and concise, and the logic is realistic. It's currently nearly 300,000 words long. Fans of traditional martial arts novels shouldn't miss it!
