I Died on the Court, Now I’m Back to Rule It
He died doing what he loved—on the basketball court, surrounded by cheers, chasing a dream that never came true.
But fate—or perhaps the Basketball God—gave him one more shot.
When Dirgantara Renji, a washed-out benchwarmer with a decade of struggle behind him, suddenly wakes up as his 15-year-old self, he’s confused, overwhelmed... and determined. This isn’t just a second chance at life—it’s a second chance at the dream he refused to let die.
Now in 2009, armed with a mysterious System, years of experience, and a deep hunger to prove himself, Dirga is ready to carve a new path. But this time, things are different. New faces. New choices. And hidden talents he never met in his past life.
Will he finally rise from the shadows to become the basketball legend he was meant to be?

I’ve read and collected your work—congrats on getting signed! It’s really exciting to see fellow basketball fans succeed. I’m currently writing a basketball novel too, and I hope to get signed one day as well. If you have time, feel free to check out my work. Let’s keep going—fellow hoop lovers chasing the dream together!
If you’re into sports stories with a twist, this one’s a fun ride. It’s about a basketball player who dies mid-game and gets a second chance to live—and dominate the court. The action scenes are intense, the comeback story is satisfying, and the main character’s drive really pulls you in. Some parts are a bit slow early on, and side characters could use more depth, but overall it's a great mix of passion, redemption, and hoops. Definitely worth checking out if you like underdog vibes and second chances.
I've been enjoying reading this novel so far. The characters are interesting, and the premise has a lot of potential to grow into something special. There's a nice blend of action, drama, and a bit of humor that keeps things engaging. However, I do think the pacing could use some improvement. Some scenes feel a bit rushed, while others drag on longer than necessary. With a more balanced tempo, the story could flow more smoothly and hit harder emotionally. Still, it's a solid read, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops!
The story was incredibly well-written, with a compelling storyline and deeply developed characters that kept me engaged from beginning to end. However, I think the story could be even more impactful if the pacing in the middle chapters were slightly faster, to maintain the momentum built at the beginning
