Where to go when I understand and find every action in this book completly rational and normal?
When I heard about it I was expecting some autismo filled protagonist doing retarded r9k stuff or some edgy self insert about how cool being absurdist is but after finishing I felt weird because it read like something completly mundane and normal to me.

You go and become an Übermensch like me, Napoleon Bonaparte, Fredrick the Great, Julius Caesar, etcetera.

And how would one become the übermensch

start by reading zarathrusta and if you only understand maybe 1/3rd of it you are good to go

That was the point. The autism meme is what it is. A meme.

But isn't the point of the book to ilustrate an absurdist masterpiece of a man and that being completly weird, unfamiliar, shocking to almost everyone? I thought I was gonna laugh so much at the MC because of how pretentious he was going to be but I just find it a mundane portrait of the life of a man.

Good question, comrade. You should undergo a transformation in order to become a true Übermensch. Nietzsche tells it as such in the words of his own Zarathustra:
>"Of three metamorphosis of the spirit I tell you: how the spirit becomes a camel; and the camel, a lion; and the lion, finally, a child."
Your spirit must become those first, and only then, will you be able to match the the fortitude of a true Übermensch.

Nah it was trying to portray a modern nihilist finding the way to absurdism. And, especially now, almost everybody seems to identify him/herself as a nihilist. So, it's not weird that you're able to identify with Mersault.
