Can we agree that the Old Testament (apart from a few exceptions such as Ecclesiastes and Genesis) sucks?

No. We are not even close to agreement on this.
The Book of Isiaiah sucks? Are you kidding? I've read chapters 50-66 at least five times they are so awesome.
Ezekiel's vision of God sucks? Are you kidding? There's a reason William Blake and Raphael painted paintings of it.
Joshua and Jeremiah suck? Are you kidding? How many other ancient books written entirely in a puzzle-like meter do we have today? Not to mention the epic stories in Joshua, and Jeremiah's poetic voice.
I can literally do this for every book. Including Leviticus. Yes, Leviticus. The Book which lays out much of the symbolism needed to understand the rest of the Bible and Christian writers - including the New Testament. The book which contains prophetic symbolism of Messiah's coming as a revelation to the Hebrews.
The Old Testament is awesome. You simply aren't challenging yourself enough.

No. The Twelve, the Book (s) of Samuel, Ruth, Job, parts of Judges, Exodus equal anything in the NT.,
