Why are "mindgames" anime so appealing and what is the literary equivalent for it. Stuff like Death Note, Kaiji, Log Horizon, etc.

Specifically English novels, user. I hate reading translations and I don't know enough kanji to read anything harder than a picture book.

This is Veeky Forums faggot, not /a/.
And don't go ask /a/ because rec threads are gay. Go ask /wsr/
Also go read Fukumotos other works like Akagi.

/a/ and /wsr/ are too plebeian. I'm asking here because a) I frequent this board and b) posters on Veeky Forums are (surprisingly) more read than those on other boards.

Death Note is just a detective story.

I'm also interested in this, would appreciate someone making a serious reply

If you make a non bait thread with the anime names and a few good authors that you feel adequately represent Death Note etc Veeky Forums will give you good recommendations.
Asimov's Foundation because I have never seen a single anime pull of so many amazing keikakus in such a short period of time. All of the Foundation books (especially Prelude)

Gene Wolfe. Stuff like Shadow of the Torturer is a mind game being played on the reader.
Brayden Phillips
anime is a valid medium for art that's all i came to say
Asher Wood
A lot of the military epics has similar trickery to those. Homer, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, various viking epics. Though your examples are a lot more gamey if that's the right word.

Crime and Punishment is a bit like Death Note but the main character is less edgy.
