It's literally just empty references with no meaning. Literally. It does not comment on, creatively alter or even adequately plagiarize the source material it is supposed to be a "love letter" to. It's just namedrops.

I am exaggerating. I was warned about this by /lit/ but I didn't believe them because they cry wolf about every single book that's not super patrician and inaccessible. RP1 is actually THAT bad, though. Pic related is how the entire book is like, in style and in substance.

The few "cringe" passages of the book about atheism or masturbation are actually its best part because at least they contain some kind of level of authorial voice or worldview. The rest of it is just nothing. You might as well copy a bunch of Wikipedia stub articles and call it a novel.
