== Reactions and legacy ==

The ''Virtue Rhetoric'' is perhaps one of the most infamous books in Alathra. It elucidates the personal beliefs of a man widely considered a tyrant and a murderer. At the surface, the ''Virture Rhetoric'' seems to be nothing more than a treatise on utilitarianism; however, it betrays an extraordinarily individualistic, philosophically selfish, and quasi-Social Darwinist worldview. Grandpa_boob certainly lives by the rules he wrote out in the ''Rhetoric'', as he was a famously ruthless ruler before being deposed and is still a feared and active killer. The ''Virtue Rhetoric'' remains a widely condemned work, with critics of the ''Rhetoric'' often being slain personally by Grandpa_boob, such as when [[Vasya]] debated Grandpa_boob at the leadup to the [[Ashina-Lothridge War]]. Vasya is also known to have thrown her copy into [[Lothridge|The Pit]]. The book spawned a 20+ page indirect [[The Kaido|rebuttal]], a copy of which is also held at the Library of Kais Kogong.
