Seriously, why do you read books if you're going to get upset about the author being different than you? Legitimate question, I don't get what your motivation is.

shut up
Wait, did I interpret this incorrectly?
I thought the character was supposed to be an honest reflection of the human experience. The book even finishes itself by having a character that knew him personally (and could even be interpreted as being the author) describe him as being a genuinely good at heart. His sociopathic behaviors are just an exaggeration of the struggles most of us have with connecting with one another. I mean I thought this was obvious with having an ironic title like "No Longer Human"--if anything his character drew empathy from the readers (you liking him is irrelevant) which is evidence enough.
