Thank you for the analysis bro, I replied to it.
You actually made me notice some things I do and am not too critical of like presenting characters without characterization at first, and sometimes reckless use of sentences. I did want to try to maintain the mood of the story but I will work on generating some more conflict. I think I will probably be raising more questions and problems to add tension than necessarily making the other characters flawed or cruel.

this is one of my favorite books not only for its themes but also that it's a russian novel that doesn't take itself so seriously. are there other books like this that kind of buck their own cultural conventions? or is that just part of what makes this one so good?

Unlike Confederacy of Dunces, this shit is actually funny.
