Read a Japanese Isekai Light novel

Best Prose I have ever read.

Much better then War & Peace and even The Brothers Karamazov

You don't read the Russians for the prose (even then, Tolstoy's was pretty good). I also imagine they lose a lot in translation.

Read Joyce, Melville, Fitzgerald (to a lesser extent). /lit/, any more great prose writers?

js06's prose is fucking magical. Try reading anything he translated on baka-tsuki.org, you won't be disappointed.
