True he had justified his killings with great man theory, saying he was a great man like Napoleon. And reading his thiughts, I the reader agreed with him. I guess he wasn't a chad, they don't have internal monologue. He was a bad boy though, it was basically dark triad thoughts. A guy can be poor, low socially, and that hurts him in attracting women. How can he overcome this, assuming he has decent looks? Dark triad. Notice women love men in prison, sending them love letters, marrying them, I'm sure that happened back in the 1800s as well and Doestoevsky was aware of the phenomenon, so the book is very realistic.
