there's only seven stories in the world

This, to me, sounds like the opinion of someone who doesn't read for entertainment. No, manga does not count.

If your only exposure to stories are TV shows and movies... yeah it's gonna seem like there aren't very many types of stories.

It is baffling that you would step forward and suggest that manga is somehow better than Japanese literature. Even further baffling are the people upvoting this.

As I said, the opinions of people who have never read for entertainment.

Edit: This is coming from someone who follows JJK leaks.

Japanese literature

You mean generic isekai #38487?

Light novels don't count.
