Why would you want utopian books? The West is collapsing thanks to the left, there's no utopia coming any time soon. I suggest you read 1984 and rightwing political theory, this is no time for comfy fiction fren.

Ernst Bloch is your man. He has restored honor to the idea of utopia. His concept of utopia is much more complex than the idea of utopia that is usually railed against (rightfully), of a utopia as a means of a vision of static perfection without any sort of tension or difficulty or dissatisfaction. Check out his 3 volume magnum opus The Principle of Hope.

Utopianism is a genre of political philosophy which centres around the description of a perfect society, typically as a form of political criticism but not always. The Republic is part of that genre.

I should add that the chart doesn't include utopian fiction, which is a seperate genre.

lol. 1984 was written by a disillusioned socialist about what leftism actually looks like irl, aka a party with the power to control all means of production just holds on to the power instead of redistributing it

Not him and also agree with you that 1984 is objectively a leftist book, but how can you deny the fact that most leftists nowadays are against free speech with them advocating "hate speech" laws & that Orwell would be turning in his grave with such blatant hypocrisy? One cant really blame a rightist for pointing out such a contradiction.

It's impossible to come back from Dosto to enjoy any sort of utopian vision.
