In this, Doestoyevsky's first novel, the character Devushkin is 47, single, and has oneitis for the young girl Dobroselova. He gives her money and presents while she is first in love with a young student who dies, then marries an old brutal rich guy whose name is Mr. Bykov, byk meaning bull in russian. The novel is blackpilled IMO. It was quite simple that Dobroselova did not want Devushkin because he was ugly, and I might be the only one who has ever realized this.

A lot of Doestoyevsky's novels were black pilled. Bad boy Rascolnikov kills people in Crime and Punishment, so a girl falls in love with him and follows him to prison. In the Idiot, the main character is an idiot yet is hot so women want him.

There's not a lot of information on Doestoyevsky but he looked short and bald. He had women but not until after he was a rich famous writer. He did go to prison so that might have made him more attractive. He was not an incel but he understood black pilled concepts IMO.
