Recommend me some books where the protagonist is a loser. The more loser the better.

>I genuinely hope nobody relates to this man.
Any one of Dostoevsky's characters are relatable in some way, this is the entire point of Dostoevsky's works. Yes, you should never relate to Raskoliknov and his specific action, but you can relate to the general messiness of his mind before the act he committed and the paranoia ensuing after is fairly universal. Notes From Underground had a character that I related to at one point, and it woke me up a bit. I see parts of myself in Raskoliknov from Crime And Punishment, minus the terrible act he commits, obviously.

Yes of course there is always bits to relate from a character. But I feel like this one is a true extreme, and indeed, I took exemple on what not to do reading this book. But thanks to it I can now understand why some people on here can't make friends.
I haven't read crime and punishment yet, just like war and peace (the war and the world?) I keep pushing away those two giants. But as an amateur of russian literature I have to soon get into it.
Thanks for the insight.
