Only one or two of the entries on this page even vaguely addresses a domino effect. T He rest seem to be mostly lists of "There are lots of different types of mythological creatures in this setting" which seems like a different trope. Does this trope serve any purpose?

I'm also curious about that. It seems like that isn't even this trope, just a subtrope of it, really. It seems like a better fit for this trope would be, say, "So-and-so's death wasn't an accident - they were murdered - why? - because they knew too much - what did they know? - That their teacher is an agent of this organization - And so is the principal - and the whole school was created for its purposes - and they were behind this, this, and this recent major event - AND they happen to be run by vampires". So I don't know why everyone seems to be misunderstanding it based on the example as opposed to, maybe, looking at the name of the trope.
I made this Idolized Julius Kingsley icon back when Akito first came out, and now that the crossover is actually happening, I don't care.
I had been about to add examples from Homestuck (which actually shows the chain of revelations onscreen in "MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown") and Final Fantasy X (where Tidus gets a Trauma Conga Line as each horrible thing he learns is only part of an even more horrible truth).
As it is right now, this trope seems to be distinguished from All Myths Are True only by scale — i.e., a better name for it would be Some And Possibly All Myths Are True. That isn't a trope at all, is it?
