Are there any novels about being an absolute loser? I don't mean like the novel the loser, where the guy went to college and then just decided that he could never be anything. I mean like, someone on the level of a Veeky Forums poster, a normy reeeeee poster.

Notes from the Underground, though the Underground Man's intellectual capacity is far above 92% of the people on Veeky Forums.

Nausea, too. The protagonist is basically a NEET wandering the city, trying in-between soul-searching to write his book.

two of my favourite books too desu senpai

...

This is shit and not what you're looking for.

Closest I can think of right now are Temple of the Golden Pavilion and maybe Woyzeck (doesn't really fit the frogposter but he's definitely a loser).

My Twisted World

Your diary desu

A Confederacy of Dunces. There's a bit of Ignatius in all of us here.

Dude read Sabato lmao

Anything Kafka

Transparent Things

Ulysses

oscar wao

Slackjaw by Jim Knipfel is great.

this, OP

main character is the quintessential Veeky Forums poster

American Psycho

Good God you're all fucking retards who have no idea what you're talking about.

It's like you guys have never heard of Bukowski

>the trial
>josef works at a big bank and is a part of society

>the metamorphosis
>gregos supports his mother father and sister with his job and is a very motivated and hard worker

you are 100% wrong on this one

The Art of the Deal by Tony Schwartz

Hunger by Knut Hamsun is a good one. Guy spends the whole book avoiding his landlady because he hasn't paid rent for several months. He's too poor to eat so he spends all day wandering the city and occasionally falls asleep in parks out of sheer hunger and exhaustion.

I hate Obama and that smug face of his.

I don't think you know what it means to try to be a normie in spite of being a NEET deep down

>NEET
Not in Education Employment or Training

you and I have a different definition of NEET/loser then.Just the fact that they got a job and actually gave a shit about themselves or their family makes them not NEETs.

Gregor really loved his sister and wanted to send her to music school and in the end he died willingly to not be a burden on his family

OP's post is about being an absolute loser.For me that means doing literally nothing with your life and leaching off your parents/state as long as possible and then killing yourself when you cant do it anymore

t.absolute loser in your eyes but a free man in my own eyes

up

The Magician trilogy by Lev Grossman, main character and a major supporting character are misanthropes that can't function in the world.

It is not a novel, but you can read the Scott Pilgrim series

Stones to Abbigail by Gregory Jackson

Bukowski

Trip dubs of truth

...

Welcome to the NHK!

skylark
>unmarried
>unexceptional
>ugly
>lives with parents who would be better off without her
the most painfully real story about miserable neetdom i'm encountered

Try
Apathy and other small victories

Except far more eloquent and unintentionally hilarious unfortunately

This desu.

Hundred and twenty pages of raw human garbage. At one point he bitches about his mortal enemy, a guy who in real life only met the kid once or twice. He also complains about not being able to kick flip. Elliot Rodger was a human diaper that killed because he couldn't get laid.

Tilka by Simon Jenko

Slovene novella written in 1858, about a 25 'man' Tilka, lives with his parents, not the most clever but good-hearted. His father tells him that he must get married and that he had chosen him a bride. Tilka panics but pleases his father and goes to propose to the bride, who is much older than him. When approaching her house, he hears the bride and her parents making fun of him but it does not hurt him. Moreover, in the future he makes fun of it: '' Once upon a time, I would almost get married...''

The Fuckup by I don't remember who.

I literally almost bought this but then I realized it's just some shitty novel produced by none other than MTV.

Bartleby is the ultimate anti-normie.

Having to work for a living is a sure sign of being a fucking loser.

I'm going to write this novel desu with great details about my shitposting behaviour.

It's probably a bit late, but A Man Asleep is exactly what you're looking for.

I'm still here. Thank you.

Would a story about a NEET work better from first person or third. First would give you better insight into his mentality and self-justification, but third could give you a better view of his family and external relationships.

my diary desu

stream of consciousness seamless narrator

>though the Underground Man's intellectual capacity is far above 92% of the people on Veeky Forums
He's also much less fucked in the head than some of the frogposters. This is one of those cases where reality outdoes fiction.

except he isn't
Ignatius is an original, sincere character that really knows and love his shit, Veeky Forums is filled with pretenders, that can't form an original thought and are in constant need of validation for their choices, being in art or entertainment, that can't discuss or talk about any kind of subject (except porn) without using memes

the akward, anti-social part is spot on tho

upboated

Dunno Tatami Galaxy?

unreliable first person like sort of a REEEEE lolita

>projecting this much

Welcome to the NHK.

Ablutions by Patrick deWitt.

It is a book full of sad as fuck losers.

He is what the quintessential Veeky Forums poster wants to be.
