4. The language/culture thing won't be a problem.

I've been reading East Asian literature for decades now (read Japanese at uni). In fact, I'm reading a Chinese novel right now.

Since around 2006, the vast majority of what I watch and listen to is East Asian. I'm not country-specific about it, either. Japan, Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong--if I'm watching a movie or TV show or listening to music, the chances are around 90% that it'll be from one of those countries.

So it's safe to say that I haven't batted an eye at the cultural/name differences since, oh, 2007.

As for the violence... Well, I read a great deal of mysteries. Some of them are quite graphic, so violence doesn't bother me, either.

I have Three Body Problem on my list to read next year, so it sounds like it will be right up my alley, in every imaginable way.

Thanks for the heads up.
