I haven't read much read stuff that has been published after 2000s and have barely liked what I have.

I ask this bcz most of the time I look up 'Best new books' or 'popular books', the recommendations are mostly smut, fantasy smut or cheap romance.

Idk if I just keep getting the wrong books recommended or that's how today's books are.

Also, recommend me some more recent books with good prose, well written characters, medium/slow paced.

Yeah I have asked for suggestions here before and they were pretty good. I also avoid any lists of "Best of" "Best sellers" etc. As much as I can because they are not usually good.
