    Looking for something with a focus on someone losing their literal humanity (having started as human) kinda like Kafka’s Metamorphosis or Tokyo Ghoul, and/or losing their figurative humanity (becoming accustomed to doing cruel things) kinda like… Tokyo Ghoul again, I guess

    Please no manga or YA

    Thanks!

      These are all one with a loss of figurative humanity:

      The Road by Cormac McCarthy

      Lord of the Flies by William Golding

      Night by Ellie Wiesel

      In the Bobiverse, a few characters were human and have their consciousness transferred into spaceships

    3. The protagonist of Han Kang’s *The Vegetarian* suffers from a mental illness and increasingly wants to become a tree.
