I've started reading a lot over summer

Nothing wrong with Nietzsche, but a LOT of his stances get taken out of context and misquoted. It's important to remember that Germany didn't even exist as a nation until he was already an established adult. A lot of Nietzsche readers tend to try and apply his perspectives in worlds he wasn't talking about.

There's a common consensus that Nietzsche readers can appreciate translating directly into Ayn Rand. I don't think this is a fair jump as it relies on assuming way too many of his beliefs to bridge these logical gaps. I have a very firm belief that Kierkegaard is, despite popular belief, not oppositional to Nietzsche and a great exploration into parallel arguments. Leaps of faith can exist within his nihilism framework
Your points on Nietzsche’s context are really good. Both him and Kierkegaard seem deeply focused on individual authenticity and the psychology of choice. Any specific Kierkegaard book you’d recommend starting with?
