How many works of Dostoyevsky have you read? I've read 3 finishing the fourth.
Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, The Possession, and finishing Poor Folk.

Now what you want to try doing is reading
The Possession or
Crime and Punishment,
both by Dostoyevsky
side by side with..........................
Thus Spake Zarathusra
by Nietzsche!
because it is, as a matter of fact, Dostoyevsky who inspired Nietzsche's ideas on the Ubermensch and nihilism.
However they had different opinions. Dostoyevsky condemned nihilism as empty, while Nietzsche seriously augmented it, and took that belief upon himself.
