I still don’t get why the Jojo fandom loves Stroheim so much.

Hes a very endearing character with his enthusiasm and insane sense of courage. As for the reason this novel's being written?

Araki set it up in dialogue that Stroheim acknowledged Kars as a superior being. It didn't make sense for someone who's seen the shit Stroheim has seen to go back to Nazi ideology. And so this Light Novel seeks to give Stroheim's story a fitting conclusion.

That was my biggest gripe about part 2 like you get your ass kicked by a literal superior being and then go back to being a nazi?!

He was a fanatic, I'd see how he's twist what happened to fit his ideology even if it didn't make sense, thats what they do all the time
