I haven’t read a book in ages but am looking for something like this :
MC is male and over 19, a lot of angst, maybe fantasy? Or at least sci-fi. Emotionally complex book…
​
maybe something like the matrix but for young adults and with angst, not romance based angst, i mean individual angst

Not 19… But you can’t tell while you read it.
Enders Game. 1000%
The book is Enders Game.
I think the MC is 18 at the start of Anathem by Neal Stephenson, which may be close enough for your purposes. It’s not clear at the beginning of the book if it’s a fantasy world or a sci-fi one, so I will just say it’s speculative fiction set on its own world which is similar to ours but has a very different history.
Kaiju Preservation Society has angst without romance as I recall. MC is over 19
