This is probably going to be controversial but what the heck.
I avoid Asian lit that the West celebrates because they tend to be "Harrowing Tales of Sad, Traumatised Asians". I'm not sure why the West find them so fascinating (though my mind thinks of rather uncharitable ideas). I especially despise stories set in colonial times.
I'm totally fine with "Tales of Murderous Asians", however.
To which I will happily recommend Keigo Higashino.
