Is this book completely pessimistic?
If at any point it gives hints on how to solve Oblomov's condition, I missed it.

The point was that Oblomov was right all along, it's the people that feel compelled to do stuff in the face of cosmic insignificance that are the fools. How is that pessimistic?

I guess it's not, but it's a hard point of view to have if you aren't upper class enough to last you your whole life.

Oblomovism is incurable, and the only thing you can do is cope with it by, for example, getting a fat wife who cooks well with corrupt criminal brothers.
Undergroundism can, however be treated.

Yes, I do highly recommend being born to the petty aristocracy.

Oblomov openly questions the need to “solve” his “condition”, and doesn't find any compelling reason.
