He didn't just touch the theme of losing humanity; he was able to paint the most terrifying image of alienation that I've ever come across.
But it's under the surface, that's why I said you need to be able to understand it. He expresses the alienation of the protagonist in a multitude of subtle ways, it's a book with multiple layers. I believe you really missed most of it, you miss what makes it great, a bit like people who read 1984 and think it's about surveillance cameras.
There's very little gore in that book, so you mentioning it makes me think you're getting confused with the movie.

The novel was banned in libraries all across the US and in dozens of countries because of the gore.
Have you even read the American Psycho novel slop?
Yes I read the novel. You clearly haven't read it if you think it's about gore.
In any case, who cares, I'm not going to continue arguing because you don't like a novel that I liked.
