What are your thoughts on the Underground Man as a character?

A good refutation of ideas floating around at the time. Man creates a lot of his own suffering and improving material conditions wouldn’t stop them from harming themselves.
Saw more of himself than I’d like on my first read but I think I’m past that now. My mistake was reading Notes after Brothers Karamazov

The Underground Man was basically a 4chan NEET 200 years before 4chan was a thing.

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

He's very based. He was a proto-NEET with no other pleasure in life than to piss people off. He also got pretty close to destroying Platonists and the whole "MUH REASON" shpeal.
