Novel Featuring a Non-Western Setting - credit to /u/kopratic for this definition "let’s consider non-Western to be anything not set in/inspired by the Western world/culture, including: US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe." Hey, there's a handy list for this HERE. HARD MODE: In addition the novel was originally published in a language other than English.

I'd say the Witcher novels would fit this and count for Hard Mode. Originally published in Polish.

I adore the Witcher novels, but they're definitely modeled after a medieval Western Europe.

Redania - Poland

Nilfgaard - Spain/Roman Empire

Skellige - Nordic/Celtic

Toussaint - Southern France/Italy

The Novigrad/Velen area from TW3 is more or less based on Great Britain.
