How did such a brainlet ever become this hyped?

Isn't his idea of biblical morality being " 'slave' morality" wrong now that we know that Israelis or Jews were never slaves?

I'm wondering is there is a word or term for a cynicism or apathy toward something that people are celebrating or urging you to celebrate because you perceive an inherent flaw in that thing that will prevent it ever being enjoyed in the way it's being celebrated. For instance, the thinness of a new phone when the phone cannot practically be used safely without a case that will negate the thickness. Or 5G knowing that data caps will render it unusable with any sane data plan.

"Weltschmerz" was suggested to me but I feel that is too general of a term. I feel like this idea must have been explored in some way in literature that I may not have come across.

Any ideas from the philosophy crowd?

Where to start with Nietzsche? What is the ideal reading order for someone who's never read a word from him?

Did Nietzsche ever talk about metaphysics and reject spirituality or did he just hate life denying religions?

Which was his best book?

So a few months ago (thanks to this board), I started taking interest in literature. I ordered a bunch of books off of Amazon and read through all of them, and love it. I started with Reactionary/right-wing literature (Evola, Guenon, Mishima), and now I'm checking out some philosophy and novels (GK Chesterton, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche).

My problem is that I have literally 200+ books on my list that I am interested in reading. I don't even know where to start, all the books I see suggested in the charts on here look interesting. I want to check out all of the genres, the periods, and the worldviews.

Is there a method to doing this? I see the "Start with the greeks" meme but I don't know where to start with that either.

Is all of his work based on the assertion that God isn't real? Or are his books worth reading for intellectual entertainment?

What exactly is he all about?

Op

ranking N's oeuvre from best to worst
The Will to Power>The Gay Science>The Birth of Tragedy>Beyond Good and Evil=Genealogy of Morals>Ecce Homo>Human All Too Human>Antichrist>Twilight of the Idols>Thus Spake Zarathustra

What was Nietzsche's magnum opus?

Where do I start with Nietzsche?
preferably something short.

so what's so bad about resignation? honestly I like the aesthetic of reaignation much more than affirmation.

All your minds have been poisoned by this Neetchuh guy and all these other life denyers like the Buddhists, Hindus, and Taoists.
God is real and Christ died for all our sins, that is reality. Sure these life denyers may sound hip and cool or whatever to all you edgy teens but recognize you will all burn in hell for it. Christianity, specifically Orthodox Christianity, is the truth.

How do I get myself to the point of comprehending Nietzschefully?

Background:
I am planning my readings by following the recommended books by Jordan Peterson and currently reading "Maps of meanings".

Previously I was reading books like:
The meditations by Markus Aurelius, the power of now, Waking up by Sam Harris.

So basically a reddit's reccomendation reading list mixed with other self help stuff.
Normie shit
The self help stuff no matter how profound didn't provide much insight and the religious texts were downright unreadable, so it felt like a waste of time imo anyhow I seem to be more drawn to Stoicism and I think I might start with some Marx literature and build my way up from there.

I have not paid much attention to fiction due to time but plan to get started on some Dostoyevsky's stuff.

So main focuses:
Dostoyevsky, Jung and Nietzsche.

Where do I start?

So basically

In real life he was a pathetic frail man who had a weak stomach and was nearly blind and was extremely shy

So he just LARPed about being superman?
