Haruki Murakami's literary style has faced criticism for two main reasons: his female characters are often characterized as 'manic pixie dream girls' who exist solely to motivate male characters or advance the plot, and his surrealism is perceived as being written 'for the sake of it' without a clear underlying plot or purpose, leading some readers to question whether his work is overrated.

Is Haruki Murakami Actually Overrated? π€π #harukimurakami #debate #booktok #vtuberAdded:
People say, "Oh, you've got to read Haruki Murakami. All of his female characters are manic pixie dream girls.
They are all there solely to give motivation to the main male character or to further his plot in some way." Like, I don't mind surreal fiction, but Murakami's surrealism feels like it's for the sake of it. He doesn't actually have a plot in mind. He's just writing whatever nonsense comes to his mind.
[music] I was kind of reading his books because I felt like I had to. That was when I was an idiot, though. And nowadays, I just read whatever the hell I like.
