I could debate these details but honestly if we rank all books by “to what extent does the protagonist end up with total power over the world at the end” these seem like they shift Unsong from the top 0.01% to the top 0.02%, or something like that?
For example, yes they’re carrying forward God’s perfect plan because everything in Unsong is. But that plan still involves them conceptualizing the kind of world they want and wielding God’s name to make it happen.
