Found your Substack via your comment on "Asian American Psycho" at Salieri Redemption. Have you read "Sinking" by Yu Dafu? It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this title, "The incel as a literary subject", just a click away from "Asian American Psycho". It's a short novella from the 1920s about a Chinese incel in Japan that explores the incel psyche very well ("I'll take revenge on them all" internal monologues included). It's very much about "shame / masculinity / radicalization" from your bio, especially shame stemming from the protagonist's identity as a Chinese man/China's geopolitical status a century ago. Much has changed since then, but in a way, I think this novella still reflects some realities today. Seeing that you're a Chinese-American interested in these themes, would highly recommend if you haven't already read it.

I like your writing from what I've read on here, so definitely will be checking out your book as well.
