Not too late. Work hard, become a good writer.

you wasted time because you've always been given to thinking "I'll never make it anyway, what's the point"

stop being a fatalist

Here's a hint - no one cares what you want to write if it isn't interesting.

Stendhal and Hermann Broch only published in their 40s, so keep writing bro

but ofc you will never be 1% as good as them

Even if you didn't waste time why are you fooling yourself that you are genetically fit to be a good writer? Why are you fooling yourself that you live in the proper time where it was rewarding to be one?

All the best writers were born to write, it was in their blood to be autistically obsessed with philosophy, poetry, words, communication. In addition, this obsession was cultivated, because in their time literature was held to a higher regard in society.

Just write your little gay stories about space aliens,wizards, edgy kids that don't fit in society, because that's all anyone in /lit/ will ever be capable of writing well, and that's all anyone these days even reads. Stop having these pretensions of comparing yourself to writers from many decades ago, you can't unravel the cultural tides of history.

All you can do is try to flex your pen and stop worrying. Literature in the future will have regressed so far in the future that your shitty literature might look like a masterpiece in comparison.
