Im trying to get into reading and I think I prefer more depressing / slow burn thought provoking books rather than fantasy books. I've read both No longer human and The setting sun by osamu dazai and ive enjoyed his style of writing where the story slowly progresses and the common heavy themes of self deprivation and identity and whatnot. I would dive deeper into his discography but i want to branch out before i completely exhaust his entire catalogue so what are some similar authors / books that are beginner friendly?
