Add Italy, replace Japan with China

Britain has probbbly the greatest, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and if you count Ireland James Joyce (Finnegans Wake arguably being one of the most complex works ever written)
France has great poetry and also great prose writers such as Stendhal, Huysman, Camus, Proust and Flaubert.
American Literature has Hemingway, Faulkner and Twain, also some great poets of high aesthetic value.
Germany is more famous for their philosophers I would say, but people like Goethe can not be ignored.
Russia is also up there in terms of achievement. Tolstoy's War & Peace and Anna Karenina, and Doestoyevsky's Crime and Punishment as wel as the Brothers Karamazov are notable classics of the 19th century, other great ones include Checkhov, Turgenev and Gogol
Japan I don't know much about since Japanese literature hasn't influenced the Western tradition.
I would say the obvious ones missing from the list would be Italy (Dante, Divine Comedy) Spain for Don Quixote, and of course ancient Greece, since they were of course the foundation on which the western literary tradition has been built.
tldr: most big european countries that you mentioned are among the greatest and have a rich literary tradition.

I voted for China. But how many of you white people ever tried their texts...?

Osamu Dazai. Depressing as fuck, though.

My professor told us to read "I am a cat" as part of our class on the Meiji era. It's honestly become one of my favourite book.

How does it feel to have terrible tastes?
Dylan Lee
Daily reminder that we produced the most notorious Western novel.
Lucas Perry
it's just like my opinion bro, I would honestly just lump English speaking cunts together (wel at least, America Ireland and brits, the onely have literaly who writes)
France is my #2 favourite desu, but Baudelaire is no Wordsworth, and Proust is no Joyce.

4. United States
5. Italy
6. Japan
7. Germany
China should probably be in there, but the only thing I've read from there was a probably shitty translation of "Journey to the West".
Yeah, but you haven't wrote anything of particular note since then.
