I'm afraid the unwritten reality of a lot of this cultural conditioning hurts a little too hard for you to handle at the early stages of the reading, for now you should skip everything but Japan. Japan may still hurt you, but, in a way that is positive, you want to be hurt by Japan. Not everybody here fucking sucks, but, the reason for their isolation can cut pretty deep, you're being fed a lot of lies. You're better off not analyzing who must suck and who must not suck, for now just leave it, come back to this in a few weeks after you've read pretty much everything else.
