The Dream of the Red Chamber by Tsao Hsueh-Chin
2.0
I read this because I'm living in Taiwan, and I should read some Chinese history/classic literature.
I did not like this. It was a soap opera. A lot of it was whining. People killing themselves because they were falsely accused of something(and hadn't even had the penalty applied yet). It was melodramatic-people committing suicide by basically getting sad.
This book might be a major reason being unhealthy and therefor weak is considered physically attractive in manga/anime. Though I'm not sure about its influence on Japanese literature.
