Japanese Literary Fiction 🇯🇵👤💭

From the provocative and challenging to the emotional and quiet, Japanese literary fiction tends to be nuanced, introspective, and minimalistic. These books contain layered cultural commentary and may lean on psychological, surreal, or fantastical elements to convey their message.

Storm and Fury (The Harbinger, #1)

Some of the imagery in this book is fabulous, especially with the boat under the stars, it was cinematic in the description and that will stay with me.
The character development and because of the lack of development, the plot falls apart.
The problem is the plot twist isn’t believable. Either the character was lying to everyone, including the reader, or the author doesn’t trust her readers, possibly both. Without some tidbits dropped about true intentions, this is more deaux ex machina than actual plot.
When looking at plot twists in other books, even when I missed it, I could then go back and find the clues I missed. Here there were no clues. And because there were no clues, no reason why that makes sense.
Which leads me to the political part of the story. It seems to make less and less sense the more you think about it because it doesn’t make sense. P
At this point, I’m not sure if I’m going to get the 2nd book which is out in 6 or so weeks from writing this, especially since it’s supposed to be a trilogy. Where do the characters go from here?

OKAY IF YOU HAVE THE COPY WITH THE BONUS CHAPTER OF LIGHT WIELDER AT THE END DO NOT READ IT BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING UPSETTING

I'm loving this book so much (reading 500 pages in a day) that I actually just bought the Deluxes Editions of Dire Bound and Fury Bound on Amazon. I am currently reading the (gorgeous) French edition and just noticed Fury Bound is released in a couple of days! So I will be able to read Fury Bound right after I finish reading Dire Bound

Well well well.. would you look at what time it is! What’s a complaint (big, small, dramatic, silly, serious) that you need to shout to the void?!💭

Hi everyone, and happy May!! I am curious, what is everyone's most anticipated read for May if you have a May TBR?
I'll go first, I'm so excited to finally start the Hunger Games series as I've seen the main four movies, but have never read the books! I'm trying to catch up before the new movie releases in November 🙂↕️

Hi everyone! I'm in the mood for something truly strange and thought-provoking, but with a solid plot that you can follow. Vibes-only doesn't work too well for me!
I don't mind whether it's fantasy, sci fi, lit fic, horror... I'll read any of it!
What would you recommend?
