We're beneath their realm, anon. There's no way someone that cute wouldn't indulge in polygamy and obnoxious fag fetishes. It's an unwritten rule that femboys are sluts looking for vacuous casual sex with strangers, just like wealthy men are permanently wishing to increase their riches. The truth is that we monogamous fags are losers who'd settle for one pesky relationship, and now that there are ways to handle sexually-trasmitted diseases without croaking, the winners of the genetic lottery are free to engage in as many relationships as they want.

Because it's trash without substance. Novels written these days don't question us about the nature of existence and being like the great novelists managed to do. Today we just have curious stories that might be good written but that's all. The fast pace of our age doesn't allow great spirits like Shakespeare, Tolstoi, Flaubert to ripen.

By the way, where is the sauce?

Houellebecq is good and even Sally Rooney is decent even if all her books are about Sally Rooney getting railed by studs. All the other contemporary books Ive seen are either gay/black/women/trannies/disabled/some combination of the former making up for not being able to write by writing about their so-called “experience” or white/Jewish men writing about a self-insert railing some hot older woman when they were 15 without anything else substantial to say or saying something unsubstantial in an interesting way. Then of course you have Pynchon and McCarthy still kicking but at this point I imagine they are just waiting for death, so I don’t count them as contemporary

File her in with writes like Ben Lerner (except Lerner actually has talent), writers who come from spoon-in-mouth privileged intellectual backgrounds and cannot generalize their experience enough to make interesting writing. Both writers are like shells of glued-together MFA syllabi with nothing in the middle, but at least Ben Lerner has poetic chops. Sally Rooney is just an intelligent person who churns out mediocre writing and dull stories.
So much contemporary literature is boring and navel-gazing without intending to be. Oh well.

To a lesser degree, you could check out Steppenwolf or the other Bukowski novels, but the main characters are either already married or sex-havers. On the other hand Notes from Underground fits the bill too, but it's more of a plot revolving around a middle aged man who's lost all hope in life rather than a young man who's still hopelessly looking for a way out.

Damn you were not joking. It sounds like a shoujo manga in novel form. What makes it worth reading then? The writing style?

although it's kind of genre lit, it can easily be an incelcore novel.
