Maybe 'To Kill a Mockingbird' could be considered in a way similar. Scout and Boo Radley start as almost like strangers, but as the story progresses, their relationship changes. The novel shows how the town's perception of Boo as a stranger is wrong and how Scout comes to see him in a completely different light. Another one could be 'Anne of Green Gables'. Anne comes into a new place and family as a sort of stranger, but soon she becomes an integral part of the community and the relationships she forms are far from the typical 'stranger' interactions.
If the 'not as a stranger novel' is about characters quickly becoming more than strangers, then 'The Fault in Our Stars' might be relevant. Hazel and Augustus meet and almost immediately form a deep bond. They don't act like typical strangers would in such a situation. Also, 'Pride and Prejudice' has elements of this. Elizabeth and Darcy start as strangers with preconceived notions of each other, but as the story unfolds, they get to know each other beyond those initial stranger - like impressions.
Another good book is 'Stranger Things: Darkness on the Edge of Town'. It further explores the mysteries of the Upside Down and how it affects the characters in Hawkins. It has a lot of action and suspense that fans of the show will love.
Sure. 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller has a similar off - beat style. It's set during World War II but presents the absurdity of war and military bureaucracy in a unique way that makes it comparable to 'Stranger than Fiction'.
One such book is 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. It has a very strange and complex structure with footnotes that seem to lead to other dimensions within the text. The layout of the pages is also erratic, adding to the overall sense of the uncanny.
He could recommend a modern romance novel similar to "Green Mulberry on the Road". The title of the novel was "Origins of Green," and the author was Xiao Yue Rou. It told the story of three girls who grew up together, from being close to each other to being strangers. Their emotions were delicate and real. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah~!
😋I recommend the following novels to you, all of which are similar to 'Jun Ru Mo Shang Chen': 1. "Xianxia Love": This is a Xianxia-classical Xianxia novel.

The protagonist had extraordinary talent in cultivation, constantly defeating powerful enemies and finally winning true love. 2.

I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley also fits the bill. The creature created by Victor Frankenstein is a dark and strange being. It's a novel full of moral and ethical questions, as this 'stranger' created through scientific means is rejected by society and turns into a vengeful and tragic figure.
Sure. 'The Truman Show' is somewhat similar. It also makes you question the nature of reality as Truman discovers his whole life has been a TV show. Another one could be 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', which plays with the idea of memory and how it relates to our sense of self, like Stranger than Fiction does with the concept of life as a story.
One book that is similar is 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time'. It also has an unusual narrative style and a main character who views the world in a unique way, much like in 'Stranger than Fiction'.
