The good, the bad, and the wandering eye

Thus, there are only good and bad novels. The bad novel aims to please by flattering, whereas the good one is an exigence and an act of faith.

      I wonder if this can be equally applied to all writing.

      Is “aim[ing] to please by flattering” not often an “exigence” and always an “act of fatih”??
