book recs?

Okay, this is me giving in: please recommend me all the Chinese novels you can. Japanese, too, but preferably not light novels as the bookstores here almost never have the first one. There also seem to be quite a lot of German and French novels in Shanghai's largest bookstore (translated, ofc) so I suppose if you have any great favorites I can go have a look.

The usual caveats: lots of ladies if possible, bonus points for music, and also I just bought all nine books of Legend of the Sun Knight so that is already covered. My chinese is pretty bad so easy stuff would be great, but I suspect I will not get this chance to buy large amounts of books in Chinese super cheaply again, so anything is good.
