Codex Voc underpowered?
I naturally have a +947% craft ratio. Why would I spend 25 of my 238 precious paragon for another +25? From forum history it looks like the bonus is additive not multiplicative which makes it very underwhelming and underpowered. I was excited to get this almost but then stopped and did my research and decided it's a scam.
Just like my complaint about quarries, getting an additive bonus this late in the game for this price is simply not worthwhile. The bonus should really be multiplicative to be useful!

The goal of codex tree us to let you pass early game manuscript grind faster. It's not so important for later game.
If it does not work as intended, it would be good to hear any other proposals.
Maybe just a buff. I don't feel like the benefit to cost is worth the paragon.
I'm not sure that it actually does. The paragon is best used either as paragon or a build ratio metaphysics upgrade.
There is not a phase in the game where I would consider getting a single codex upgrade except maybe at extremely late game, where I might be able to spare something out of a 6000+ paragon pool.
I concur with multiplicative making it at least worth consideration Anywhere between 5 and 10% multiplicative should do the trick.
Edit: It might make people go insane, because nobody likes negative change, but the other way to make those upgrades more valuable is to reduce the value of paragon.
I think it would be much better as a multiplicative bonus than an additive one. It's currently (X+0.25) where x is your craft effectiveness I think if it were simply ((x)*1.25) It would definitely be a worthwhile investment. This might make grinding blueprints for Zigguarats a little too easy though.
