Sorry for beeing a newfag, but recently nothing seems to please me anymore. My main preference are extreme psychological pain, fanasy and science-fiction.some of the work i really love are: saya no uta (visual novel) and blacksouls (video game)I would be very happy to have some recommendations, really appreciate any reply

>>25266553You might enjoy Gravity's Rainbow. Just like Black Souls it's highly nonlinear, hard to wrap your head around on the first read, and its extreme sexual content might not phase you if you already went through BS. Plus it covers much of the same ground BS does (Dodo genocide, Alice in Wonderland, fairy tales), it blends fantasy-like elements into it (sentient light bulbs etc.) and you will feel like a BS lorefag in how you'll uncover more and more internal connections between different seemingly distinct passages.Just note that the difficulty is extreme. I got into reading roughly 5 years ago, and it's by far the hardest book I've ever read. Maybe Ulysses is harder, but only in fragments (Proteus, Oxen).If you want something lighter, here's what I recommend for:>extreme psychological painCrime & Punishment + Brothers KaramazovDoctor Faustus (Thomas Mann)Berlin Alexanderplatz>science-fictionIce by DukajFrom what I've heard about BotNS, it's structurally similar to BS (unreliable narrator, nonlinearity, very rewarding on rereads) but I'm yet to read it myself
If you think you'd like Lovecraftian horror combined with computers/mathematics and bureaucracy, I highly recommend the Laundry Files series by Charles Stross.
>>25266553>At the Mountains of Madness: A Graphic NovelCan't possibly be better than Gou Tanabe's manga adaptation. The illustrations are SICK.
