Apparently the encyclopedia in The Great Ordeal is now almost as long as the novel itself, like nearly half the physical book. :psyduck:

Just release a stand-alone encyclopaedia already, gently caress.

Excect by the wealth, power, and near-universal love he gains from it? As I said the reader knows what a massive dick he is, but very few people in-universe do. It got tiresome seeing this jerk go through almost constant success.

I think we might be having a problem with the multiple overlapping meanings of "good" here.

Kellhus' manipulation is presented as "good", in the sense that it is an effective and powerful tool. By using it Kellhus is successful in his endeavours.

Kellhus' manipulation is not presented as "good", in the sense that is is not morally or ethically sound. By using it Kellhus brings suffering and misery to those around him.

If you're just not interested in a moral universe where people can be assholes and successful then fair enough.
