Heart of Darkness
Wuthering Heights
They aren’t about utter isolation, but isolation is a major theme in both, I think, and they are well-written.

I feel. I think since my girlfriend and I broke up back in 2018 my social life has been essentially nonexistent. No friends, no relationships: just work acquaintances. The pattern is the same, day-in and day-out. Sucks to fricking suck for me.
Same except 2016 (aged 25). I suffered in anguish for a year with my only solace as solitary walks to an elementary school up the street from my house where I’d sit in the swing until dusk completely alone. I did this for a year and then went to Thailand to frick hookers. Since that 2-week trip, I’ve gone back twice for 6+ months at a time and fricked 170 Thai hookers. I’m going back in a year. It’s all I live for
That's wonderful and sad and beautiful all at once, good for you. Unfortunately for me, I haven't felt the warm embrace and caress of a woman since the break-up; not only have I forgotten what flesh feels like, but I also am starting to believe that I don't need it anymore. I still romanticize feminine beauty in a purely poetic way, though: the shape and the aesthetic form. But I don't feel love, either in its sensation, its depth, or its sentiment, and I'm beginning to be all right with never being in love again.
That’s pretty based and burying myself in literature while I endure the sterile and dead society of America has also made me contemplate women in such a way.
I would wager to say that you can never love a woman as blindly and deeply as your first love. I’m glad I experienced it when I was 17 with my first gf. That being said, if what you say is true, you will be the better for it. Women are fleeting and ephemeral by nature and if you attempt any solidity with them emotionally you will get destroyed.

NOT WITHOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN, BASTERD
In the Distance by Hernan Diaz.
I highly recommend In the Distance by Hernan Diaz. It's mytho-poetic revisionist western with loneliness and isolation as its central tenet. You have a character traveling Eastward, yes dear reader, you read that right: Eastward. A character who does not speak English and is thus isolated from all around him. A character who lives for 40+ years in the desert in an underground lair, foregoing all human contact. A man of mythic proportions. A true western legend. And he spends his final days in exile on an arctic expedition, at the edge of the earth. Hernan Diaz IS the major literary writer of the 21st century. In the Distance announces him as a voice, and Trust by Hernan Diaz, cemented him.
The Blind Owl
Idk if it was my translation but this book really read like shit. There were passages that read like F Gardner where the author rewrote the same sentence a few lines later.
Did verb tense also change three or four times in a paragraph?
Notes From Underground. That's it, that's the only one you need
He literally has multiple friends and lives with a cozy sassy butler. Plus he easily makes a prostitute fall in love with him with his literary flourish
