Just submitted chapter 3 of this Japanese Culture short story. I left it for continuation despite low grading and low downloads because I like the flow of the story and if a reader reads between the lines of a standard stroke story, they will see other nuances of character development and cultural differences. I estimate that about 75 of my stories across all 20 pen names touch on Asian content and cultural differences. I do not claim to be an expert in such matters but spend 11 years of my life in the Far East and have lived in Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Philippines, etc. The writing style may be a put off because it is through the eyes of a Japanese female.
