Demian By Hesse
Or maybe Siddhartha
inb4 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.I'd argue Portrait is more of Künstlerroman than bildungsroman. Sure, Künstlerroman is understood as a sub-genre of bildungsroman, but the difference is worth noting.

Portrait, or just take 80% of Hesse's novels and novellas and squish them together.
Demian
Blood Meridian.

tom jones, tristram shandy, david copperfield, the tin drum, augie march, gil blas of santillane, anyway, fuck bildungsromans, picaresques are where it's at.
oh, and of human bondage, i guess you could squeeze in journey to the west, lazarillo de tormes would be picaresque but also an incomplete bildungsroman, and possibly el buscon, some of the recognitions, i suppose, the sot-weed factor, count of monte cristo in a way...
simplicissimus, and that's all i can think of right now.
