I am an author from New Zealand.
I am searching for Japanese people who would like to test read my new English novel,
THE HIKIKOMORI
The novel is set in Japan.
Please let me know if you'd like to read a pre-production version of my novel...
Reading an English novel will help improve your English reading skills,
and at the same time your feedback will help me make my novel more authentic.
The novel is about a shut-in who challenges herself to conquer her fears.
Please feel free to ask a question, or private message me if you would like to help.
Here is the novel's pre-production cover:
Here is the novel's current synopsis:
"Japan suffers under a culture of overwork. There is no time for relationships or family, as corporate bosses fixate on their harsh work culture.
Squeezed out of society by this twisting vice are the hikikomori. Over a million disillusioned hermits living in their bedrooms. Miko Nishimura is hikikomori. Terrified of stepping out of her parent's apartment door. Miko is only happy when playing racing games on her laptop.
But her contentment turns to fear, when her parents are away and her mouse batteries run out. So Miko stands trembling next to the apartment door. Unable to live without her racing games, she must venture out into the world to buy batteries. But little does Miko know the consequences for herself, and for Japan, if she steps out that door."
Let me know if you are interested...
All the best.
