Is there any “serious” contemporary Japanese literature, or is it all dominated by visual novels, eg written anime?
>>25152519I'd give those armpits a serious licking.
>>25152519As far as I know no. Though maybe I’m just ignorant.The closest you might get is religion and nothingness.
>>25152519Not even VNs are up to par with how they used to be. It's over.
>>25152556I don't get it
>>25152519i love japanese girls so much its unreal. they literally all look like this too. wish i could get over there. too bad im a chubby balding 38 year old unc-cel with a shit job and debt.
>>25152570>they literally all look like this toouh about that ...
>>25152568Which part?
>>25152616The appeal of it, every fetish has a reason and I find pits to be the most absurd by far. Such small area of the human body.
>>25152572I blame China.
These replies and the OP are insane. Last year I started digging around in Japanese lit, and I found that there's actually a huge abundance of good stuff. Two contemporary authors I can recommend are Yoko Ogawa and Kirino Natsuo. Ogawa's thing is creepy, subdued literary surrealist horror. Although she might not immediately impress you with her weak characters and minimalistic plots, if you persist and engage deeply you'll find some impressive structural and thematic depths. Kirino's quite different. She's more of a mainstream thriller writer with nihilistic and femininist themes and highly engaging characters and plots. I know the feminism won't be popular around here, and she's a bit of a man-hater, but if you can get past it she can be both compelling on a plot-boiler level and fairly deep and relevant idea wise. She's also capable of literary depth. For Ogawa I'd recommend 11 Dark Tales, linked literary short fiction, while for Kirino I'd recommend Grotesque, a literary-horror novel exploring the inability to find love and meaning in contemporary life as well as gender dynamics and racial beauty standards.
>>25152677Ultimately it's irrational. Feet are a very popular fetish and they do nothing for me.I find armpits attractive because they're usually hidden so seeing them exposed is appealing, the musky acidic smell of body odor is strongest there and at the groin, and the skin is usually pretty sensitive as well so it's hot seeing a girl squirm while getting them licked.
>>25152705not op but I am gonna give you a deserved bump because you gave a good concrete answer. However, this was not in my interest, and I do not read books written by women.
>>25152519You would have to be beyond retarded not to realize how big the market for contemporary Japanese literature is right now in the west. https://www.goodreads.com/genres/japanese-literature
>>25152705I wouldn't call those two serious.

The Japanese can't write, their written language is a travesty
i feel like, if anything, the nips just don't *care* about "serious" contemporary literature like the west does, let alone literature up to this board's standards. I'd guess there's at least ONE guy in some japanese shithole, concrete hell or elsewhere, who does have talent for that kind of lit, and will maybe at some point write. but he'd only become famous posthumously, if not when he isn't even contemporary anymore.also speaking of murakami i fucking hated kafka on the shore. are his other works worth it? a friend really likes him but i don't see it

>>25152956do you really think the west cares about serious contemporary literature any more than the east?
>>25153034>do you really think the west cares about serious contemporary literature any more than the east?erm booktok told me yes, so like yes
>>25152568for me good pits and sideboobs are just aesthetically satisfying. I like how defenseless women are when their armpits are in view too.
>>25152705I recommended Ogawa to my lit professor last year and he smiled and held up a palm and said, "I don't read foids."
>>25153085>I like how defenseless women arebrown
every day every every day i'm swearing i'm licking the her armpits i love the her armpit even she liking the other man i'm ok im licking
>>25153034Definitely at least more than the east does>>25153053why imitate women so much? Do you want to be one?

>>25152519VNs aren't serious literature and if anyone tells you they are you should just laugh at them and move on. They're pretentious, deluded retards who aren't worth listening to on any subject.
>>25153399Also I say that as a someone who likes VNs and has read them regularly for many years.

Japanese fucking sucks as a written language, it's full of soulless symbols that carry no special significance across books, the best thing they have are proverbs, the deepest they can write is repeating the same line again and then asking a question. They're shallow as fuck just like their language
>>25152519
>>25152556>>25152568anon is implying insect's pits give him sexual arousal. anon is a lower level pitfag enjoying what i consider to be a mid pit. notice the various creases in her underarms, the discoloration, the lack of musculature? OPs girl is thin and attractive but low muscle mass causes loose skin, which creates extra creases, more friction and discoloration.to me the allure of the pit is the muscle definition along with boobage. each component should be equally defined. the girl has normal head, giant tits, and twig arms, a very imbalanced physique.3/5 pits
>>25153455I hear her new novel is MID the Kawakami hype train is experiencing SIGNIFICANT DELAYS
Japanese armpits suck too they're tiny with no muscular form
>>25152705Don't get surprised. People here don't read.
>>25152705OP asked for serious literature, not genre fiction
I once had a Japanese woman, she was very pretty and very autistic and I think many men over there are otaku shut ins so it’s not like she was spoiled for choice. She was working abroad and we hit it off, and she had to go back, and I was planning to go over and see her, she even got me gifts and everything for when I went over… I never did however, im not a man of my word. I mildly regret it now
