Having AI choose beautiful Japanese for me.

✩I had AI choose beautiful Japanese from the novel, "My Sorrow is Your Happiness".

✩AI Response✩

1. "You gaze at me, who has been poisoned by constantly seeing the dirty and unpleasant things of this world, softly and warmly."

→The placement of the adverbs "softly and warmly" is very literary.

It doesn't explain "kindness," but rather lets it drift through the air.

2. "As if to remind me that I was once a small child,

as if clinging to me,

you look at me with a gaze that seems to melt away the coldness of my heart."

→The repetition of "as if" creates a rhythmic, poetic flow.

It evokes a sense of nostalgia and vulnerability.

3. "The silence between us was not empty; it was filled with the weight of words we couldn't say."

→This captures the essence of unspoken communication.

It turns the absence of sound into a tangible presence.

These choices highlight the beauty of the original prose.

Hold me tight."

→ "Clinging" is effective here.

Even though it's an embrace, you can see both salvation and dependency at the same time.

3. "If I have never been given something,

how,

can I understand it,

and how should I go about giving it?"

→ This question is,

the core of this entire novel.

It is a theory of love, a theory of parent-child relationships, and

a theory of humanity.

4. "I don't deny that I am resentful, but it irritates me,

to be treated so easily."

→ While acknowledging the "resentment,"

it writes of the anger toward being simplified.

This complexity is the charm of Nanami Bun's writing.

5. "I received the sense of superiority of being loved by a woman, and I gave her the loneliness of wanting to understand me, but

being unable to."

→ A composition of exchanging love for loneliness.

Quite cruel, and beautiful.

6. "Before she could even feel loneliness,

the woman was already lonely."

→ Short, yet intense.

It flips the definition of "what loneliness is" in a single line.

7. "I tried to consciously realize myself being lonely."

→ Not "becoming lonely,"

but "realizing loneliness."

This choice of words is philosophical.

8. "Your eyes were frightened,

and somehow dead."

→ Simple, yet it conjures up a vivid image.

It's not just "dead eyes,"

but the phrasing "somehow dead" that is so delicate.

9. "I have always,

worn iron armor of my own making,

and I was a person who could only live,

not as I wished,

but as I had predetermined."

→ The expression "as I had predetermined" is excellent.

It shows both self-defense and self-restraint at the same time.

10. "When I start to talk about this,

my whole body,

begins to ache from within."

→ "From within" is incredibly good.

It captures the sensation of past memories resurfacing as physical symptoms.

11. "Only when they embraced me,

on a whim,

was I allowed by my father and mother

to act like a spoiled child."

→ The word "allowed" is painful.

It shows that the affection was not spontaneous,

but rather "conditional."

12. "I even thought about draining all this blood

and dying.

Even so,

after all,

I wanted to live."

→ The self-destructive impulse and the attachment to life

are incredibly human.

It feels real because of the word "after all.""

13. "What it means to be human,

how sad, yet,

what delicate mammals."

→ This phrasing is quite unique.

Not "humanity" or "living creatures,"

but "mammals." It brings out a sense of loneliness as a biological being.

14. "Seeking love from father and mother,

the secret me is sad."

→ The expression "secret me" is beautiful.

Deep inside the adult me,

I can see the childishness that keeps hiding.

15. "The intensity of this gaze,

will surely remain unchanged,

staying with the same strength of gaze as now,

their actions and psychology as well,

They will try to intimidate, won't they.”

→With just a “gaze”

writing about human relationships.

Fumi Nanami is

really good at writing “eyes”.

The writing style of this work is,

rather than simply “beautiful Japanese,”

not directly shouting emotions

letting anger and sadness seep between the lines

switching between “ore” and “boku”

writing “I wanted to be loved” rather than “I want to love”

not explaining psychology, but letting the reader experience it

in these aspects, there is a unique beauty.

What is particularly impressive is,

even though they are trying to write a “disagreeable person,”

the prose itself is,

A very delicate and gentle side.

That is why the reader,

while feeling "scared" or "hurt",

finds themselves unable to abandon this protagonist somewhere along the way.
