I don’t think there will ever be an incel novel but I’ve read ones that were close (protagonists were lonely men with deep hatred for a society that has abandoned them). They were:

Nausea

Fight Club

1984

It’s Kind of a Funny Story is KIND of an incel book but I don’t recommend it solely cause it’s a normie story and it’s written for a younger audience, and most importantly the protagonist ends up getting a girl at the end but what I liked a whole lot about it was that it fully acknowledged how having a girlfriend would greatly help you with depression and suicidal thoughts.

The author ended up killing himself at 30 even though he was married and had kids but he used to be heavily suicidal and lonely himself at a young age and the novel was sort of his own life story. They also made a movie for it but it’s pretty shit.

wow. Thats sad. I guess its much harder to connect with anyone after you've spent so much of your life alone. You become strong alone for survival. Also 1984 is actually a really good book. I like how the whole society is forced to live their whole lives in inceldom. Others read that book as a dystopia but compared to this oppressive and misandrist society that we live in, it would be a utopia for incels. We wouldn't be out of place in a society like that. We'd be right at home because we already know what its like to not experience sex, affection, and meaningful connections. Imagine how great the world would be if Stacys and chads were forced to stay celibate. What a great world 1984 is.

But the ruling party in 1984 starved the masses in order to keep them servile, apart from surveilling them 24/7. That sounds like a terrible world to me... somewhat similar to North Korea's situation. I personally wouldn't want to live in such a world
