Why hasn't any writer written anything as profound as it since?

So, he does not represent your aesthetic ideals. OK.
Now, what writers do? Who are your favorite and/or what are your aesthetic ideals?

Are there any books like lolita except where the female love interest is a virgin and it ends well? Nabokov ruined lolita for me by making Dolores just as disgusting as any ordinary woman.

I hope to write a lolita for the modern age involving a 12 year old anthro rabbit and a happy ending to boot. I understand this goes against the original authors vision of know disorder but I feel even the mentally disturbed should have a happy ending, as long as their disorder doesn't turn violent like so many sick pedos.

Oh, and the man cares for the girl past attraction age, coming to realize he found his love for the rest of his life, and teaching her the one skill he has, piano.

Don't get upset with me, complain to OP. He's the one who said Lolita is profound.
