A great Japanese crime fiction book is 'Battle Royale' by Koushun Takami. It's set in a dystopian future where a class of students is forced to fight to the death. While it's more of a violent and action - filled crime story, it has a lot of depth in exploring human nature. 'Confessions' by Kanae Minato is another. It's a dark tale where a teacher seeks revenge for her daughter's death in a very calculated way. 'Coin Locker Babies' by Ryu Murakami also has elements of crime as it follows the lives of two boys abandoned in coin lockers and the strange and often criminal things they encounter.

One of the well - known ones is 'Out' by Natsuo Kirino. It delves into the lives of four women working the night shift at a bento factory who get involved in a murder. Another great book is 'The Devotion of Suspect X' by Keigo Higashino. It features a brilliant mathematician who tries to cover up a crime for his neighbor. 'Snow Country' by Yasunari Kawabata also has elements of mystery within its beautiful prose.

God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

The gods exist. The Supernatural is real. But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil. They say Ignorance is Bliss. But for Adam, such Bliss woven by a lie is worthless. In his opinion, Ignorance may be Bliss but --- Knowledge is power. This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. ---- He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother. But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed. His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality. The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans. An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us. Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his. To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary. --------- The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality. I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it. We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore. This will be a long road and I would be happy if you are willing to walk this road with me. ---- (Alternative title: Midnight Prince: Empire of Sin) [ Tags ]: Mature| Grimdark | Gore |Netori | Harem | Milf | Young & Mature | Supernatural |Action | Gang War | Criminal Empire | System | Gigolo | Handsome MC | Weak to Strong MC | Antihero| Neutral good to Lawful Neutral Evil. | Showbiz | Psychic | ****** ) ----- Disclaimer: The cover picture is AI made and is the art for Adam as [Magician] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HikaruGenji Discord: https://discord.gg/3v2xvhvD6j My other work Son of The Hero King: https://www.webnovel.com/book/son-of-the-hero-king_24153504605334705
