Australia is a continent not an island...

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

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

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

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

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)

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.
