Ender's Game worked for me because I felt like Card was intentionally undermining himself as much as he possibly could. Here's this character who believes in everything Card believes and tries to do what Card thinks is right, and here's how it repeatedly causes terrible things to happen. The reader actually has some leeway to evaluate whether Card's values are just. Compare his earlier book Treason, which has similar ideas but never allows room to question that the protagonist is doing the right thing by committing genocide. (In some ways, Ender's Game seems like Card's own counterargument against what he wrote in Treason.)
