If you think his manifesto is excessively self-pitying or narcissistic, then you literally got filtered. An actual self-pitying narcissist would write the story in a way that makes them seem like a heroic and tragic figure.

Elliot Rodger has no irony or rhetorical trickery in his writing, nothing to obscure the sincerity of his thought. When he says 'I am magnificent, I deserve it' - he is intentionally constructing a portrait of a narcissist that he in reality is not, so as to give us a device to more easily frame his actions with. But he obviously had a very low self-opinion, and was not convinced of his worth. He recalls his failures with impressive detail. Moreover, at the end, he literally justifies his ideology by saying that he is mad at the world for not giving him sex. He doesn't cope or wiggle his will to power through some abstract notion of morality - he is explicit in the spite-driven nature of his worldview.

It is pure postpostmodernist kino lit, and the seminal work of the incel movement which will only continue to grow in strength, especially internationally in rapidly industrializing countries with massive gender population imbalances (China, India)
