Huge fucking exception and excellent piece of literary non-fic ala svetlana alexievich right here. Kafka on the Shore is pretty good too for a quick read.

It's just Westernized, easily accessible and without any depth is my impression.

No, but he's popular and pretty "babbys first postmodernism" so everyone here automatically acts like it's literally feces with a book cover on it.

He's a Japanese John Green. He's fun, he's accessible, and deep enough to tie over the masses. That isn't to say there's anything WRONG with his books they're just not great.
