Why is japanese scifi so good, lads?

Long story short because Japan is a island.

Australia is a continent not an island...

>>7351988
I've never read this and I know it's bad because it's Japanese and has an anime artstyle cover.

It is the novel that Live.Die.Repeat is based on

>Australia is a continent
So what country is Fiji in? New Zealand?

>>7352096
Australia is both a country and a continent,

>>7351988
It's not. Most of it are knockoffs of western Scifi. Not even books but sci fi movies.

I read OP's, I also read a few other SF "light" novels like Yukikaze, and they're not particularly good or special, quick easy, not so well-translated reads that you'll forget soon

>>7352129
yeah man, that book totally ripped off edge of tomorrow.

>>7352096
Oceania/Australasia
Neither are real geographical continents, they're just made up to group nations.

>>7352096
New Zealand is a continent and Fiji isn't in a continent.

I wouldn't say that Abe wrote SF - at least I don't know of a SF book of his?
Kenzaburo Oe, on the other hand, wrote The tower of treatment, which deals with much more straightforward SF tropes (a few humans survive apocalypse, try to start a new earth on a different plant)

>knockoffs of western scifi
>EVERYTHING IS STOLEN FROM MY GLORIOUS WESTERN CULTURE HURDUR I'M SUCH A RETARD
shut the fuck up

Because the Japanese legitimately try to make new and intresting concepts for books and aren't restricted by stupid liberalism and instead have excellent worldbuilding.
