"I just don't understand why so many East Asian books have to have suicide in it"
It's because suicide is an important social issue, especially in Japan. It's been ingrained into the culture for centuries, often seen as the honourable thing, especially following military defeat in the days of samurai. Nowadays there's economic pressures in business, which is just another way of figuratively falling upon one's sword. The society is generally tolerant of suicide. The suicide forest is even a curious thing that exists.
This comment is in reference to Edogawa Rampo's 'Beast in the Shadows', which I read yesterday. Personally, I thought it an enjoyable read, very clever and nicely meta. I'm excited to read more by him. I do think the suicide in this - for what it is - was handled fine. The character in question had to be removed from the narrative in order for the point of the final chapter to work. That the character did it at all is practically the aesthetic of the culture.
Thank you for this comment. I did know some of the importance before and my remark was quite ignorant, it’s just in that particular book the justice I would have wanted wasn’t served. I’m glad you enjoyed it though
