Looking for more stories with pathetic but self-aware protagonists.

my diary desu

your diary to be quite honest with you

Steppenwolf, maybe?

Yes, friends, I am indeed looking for figures to identify with.

confessions of a mask by Mishima

my journal, to be frank

Oblomov

Is this still a good read if I'm not interested in homosexuality and actively annoyed by masculinity and strength?

Thanks anons. Though I thought Steppenwolf was somewhat of a meme? Looks interesting enough either way.

The Tunnel by Ernesto Sabato
Lolita
The Book of Disquiet

Hunger by Knut Hamsun

Thanks

Looking into it

This. Top tier.

All of the "superfluous man" books.

How is he self-aware? That novel's leading living in denial to the absurd (and is show both the upsides and the downsides of it).

This. I love this fucking book.

literally 90% of all litterature is about sad white dudes

Hunger's protagonist is pathetic but self-aware in the sense that he's an introspective man who's able to reflect upon his own miserableness, social inadequacies and creative sterility as a writer.

Isn't that what's OP's looking for?
