I’m looking for a book with layered emotional world-building, a strong aesthetic atmosphere, dreamlike/surreal vibes, that make the story seem as though its breathing. It has been difficult to enjoy the books I'm currently reading, so this would definitely help thank you!
I enjoy stories that:
- Are well thought out
- Dreamy but not so abstract I can’t follow
- Very human characters
- Challenge me philosophically
- Lots of yummy imagery
- Deep yo
Books/media I liked:
- The Little Prince
- Holes
- Perfume
- Metamorphosis
- A series of unfortunate events
- Studio ghibli!! Spirited away, howls moving castle
- manga: Demon slayer, made in abyss, toilet bound Hanako run
Dislikes:
- Stereotypical tropes
- Heavily romanced focused plots
- Predictable stories
- Un-layered boring language
Books/media I didn’t like:
- Annihilation
- XO kitty
- Icebreaker (why)
