How do Japonic and Koreanic languages fit into that model? Japan never fell to communism and remains highly socially conservative compared to other post-industrial economies in the West and its cultural exports are more successful than solely Chinese cultural products that don't take significant influence from non-Sinic cultures. South Korea outpaces the DPRK by far if you factor out Chinese support of the regime. Plus if we're going back in history, the Chinese had a lot of difficulty with the Xiongnu and descendant hordes. Although I don't dispute that Semitic languages are defined by a sort of minimalism and palatability that suits Platonism-for-the-masses. I'd also be open to any recs on Sinic lit.

Earlier Japanese detective stories (and Western mysteries that broke out in Japan/Korea) often trend more towards the commandments since their genre fiction traditions are more focused around, "honkaku", mysteries which are meant to be realistic. There are heavy influences from Doyle but keep in mind that while Doyle resonated greatly with Japanese audiences, Neo-Confucian fiction has a history of this feature in some form. Ironically a lot of modern Japanese novels (and yes, anime/manga) actually drastically try to depart from Neo-Confucian storytelling, more emphasis on melodrama and struggle in mysteries than the natural/orthodox solving process. Although obviously exceptions exist (Umineko would be a famous/infamous example). There's been a revival of this genre that was originally more a feature of the early-mid 20th century in Japan. Although they do occasionally break #5 since you can imagine they have very specific impulses towards the Chinese. The Honkaku Mystery Writers club has published anthologies for several years now.

Mishima is a great starting point. Both Murakami’s (haruki and ryu) are great as well. Not the same style but still good none the less.

The Discord is filled with weeaboo faggots and they're responsible for pushing a lot of Japanese lit on the board. They're currently working on a Chinese lit chart, so if you see one coming out in the next few weeks, you'll know who's responsible.
