Oblomov is about a handsome aristocrat who is ultimately unable to overcome his ennui and lazyness. pretty much the opposite of what op is looking for.

>> No.21780793

I’m unattractive, not jobless but a low wage worker shut in with no friends. However i have a prospective marriage now. Converting to Islam helped. There is always hope, anon. In terms of literature

>>21780769
That’s not what the OP wants considering how it ends. I’d suggest The Kiss, by Chekhov

Not really, he was a NEET and KHV until his early thirdies and he totally and relentlessly got away with it.

Oblomov isn’t handsome, he is described as pudgy, flabby. He looks younger than he is because his face is mostly expressionless all day but he’s not attractive, he is kissless into his 30’s

Welcome to the NHK (The Novel, not the Manga)
It is quintessential NEETcore

I need a novel that's like Metamorphosis but with a good ending.
