That's the thing about stylistic complaints against any author - if the style works then it's good. This sort of criticism is all high school English teacher tier.

And the anon posted in his board where he was the OP and the other anons gathered round and bore witness and the thread was a brief one with lost of meaningless shitposts and thoughtposts and by the time it had reached the limit it was full of pointless trash and meme images and frogs that performed bizarre impious acts in the rain and the shine and in front of the white backgrounds and the OP said at some point his mom wasn't a slag but the other anons knew better and one even said OP he said I'm banging your mom and that was that.

Suzerain of Earth, the eternal child who never grew up and instead stayed playing with his games of war, his parents, if there ever were any, are gone. He will watch those who attempt to play his game with curiosity, but laugh when they fail after a while of playing this game. His game, sweet as honey, will never fade, and will serve to attract anyone interested in it.
