Most faint books, boring without stories, ultimately lost (9)

'most faint books boring without stories ultimately lost' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'most faint books boring without stories' is the wordplay.
'most faint' becomes 'wot' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'books' becomes 'BB' (two abbreviations for book).
'boring' is an insertion indicator (to bore something can mean to drill into it).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'stories' becomes 'lies' (to tell stories can mean to lie).
'wot' going around 'bb' is 'wobbt'.
'wobbt' placed around 'lies' is 'WOBBLIEST'.
