I'm not going to play the games (not THAT much of a manchild) or read the books(I know they're slop), so I thought reading their lore would be a good way to pass the time but even that didn't seem all that well thought out. It's like they came up with a lot of cool concepts/premises but didn't bother to flesh it out beyond that 
.
This isn't the "neurodivergent world building" that nerds promised me 
. Worst part was how underdeveloped the "God Emperor" 
himself was.

It's not supposed to be one grand story by a single dude like Lord of the Rings, it's just a setting with no high canon (except The Regimental Standard) and a bazillion different writers. You have to read a book or play a game or something to actually enjoy it.
Most of the world building (and what you're reading on Lexicanum) is done in codices and the rulebooks, in terms of basic construction of "this is what the world of 40k looks like" with the addition of "this is what 40k looks like from the perspective of [faction]" in the codices. Naturally these aren't intended to be actual stories, they just provide some background on why your dudes are fighting the other dudes.
1d4chan is the superior wiki anyways.
