Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky and From the New World by Yusuke Kishi

In Crime and Punishment, the protagonist murders a woman believing that:

1. He is superior to other humans, so it is acceptable for him (and other extraordinary people) to decide others' fate—like Napoleon Bonaparte.
2. Murdering the woman would benefit society.

Needless to say, he cannot handle his conscience and guilt afterward, and eventually turns himself in. It was really interesting to see how his guilt works on him psychologically.

Reading this reminded me of From the New World by Yusuke Kishi.

In From the New World, human beings have effectively evolved into two groups: superhumans and ordinary humans. Instead of having superhumans fighting evil like in superhero movies, the superhumans (especially superpowered teenagers) in that world almost destroyed human civilization.

To control them and prevent such a catastrophic future, the adult superhumans develop an elaborate ritual and educational system designed to make teenagers strongly feel guilt. If any of the teenagers were to murder another superhuman, their overwhelming guilt would ultimately destroy them.

I won’t share more details, but it’s a really unique sci-fi story.
