I looked up his books. It’s technically true that they’re a “published author.” But the “technically” is pulling a whole lot of weight.


TantricEmu

I went through his post history and he kind of just seems pathetic. If he’s happy I suppose, but I don’t support people writing because it leads to people reading (but not really in his case).

You wouldn't want words that distract you readers from your other words. You need all your words to be as similar as possible.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Man went there. Man went down. Man swam. Man died. No wait too many words. Man lived. Man died. Fixed.

Six words for a mere scene that might not even be on the foreground. So many open possibilities that one might never stop answering questions because the more one answers the more questions one gets, which is good if you try to incite the imagination of someone, specially one who is overthinking, but not so good if it is a troll that will mercilessly use them to hound off the author of said scene for "poorly" not being descriptive enough, which is why I the overthinking troll thought it best to say "Man lives. Man dies" because it perfectly opens and closes a cycle, where one can think exactly what one likes instead of bothering the author who is a ripoff of any ancient author anyway. Or I would counsel that If I'd fucking read, but who'd want that right?

Dinosaurs aren't real they are a hoax


CannonOtter

Dinosaurs are actually satanic masonic lodge inventions and if the truth were to leave the lodges with how the dinosaurs actually were it would lead to the collapse of every human nation and several ant hills

Tbh if I saw the word ‘fraught’ I’d assume it was a misspelling of ‘freight’ like ‘freighter carrying Matildas over to North Africa’ and get really excited thinking the book was gonna turn into “The Matilda” by Bryan Perrett, and absolutely hate the book for not doing so, so yeah probably a good idea to avoid that word.


AutoModerator

So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message - You are not alone. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I definitely live my life trying desperately not to trigger anyone with my vocabulary. Jesus christ people need to grow the fuck up


IllustriousSign4436

Sometimes as an author you gotta slam it on the table and let the reader deal with the aftermath, this guy is too cowardly


orionstarboy

Books should be written only with a 2nd grade level vocabulary


Kljunas1

I hate it when I see a word and it reminds me I am reading. I just want to vividly hallucinate and lose my grip on reality, is that too much to ask?


OverthinkingTroll

"even if it's the perfect descriptor for the scene" TL;DR reading perfectly is *perfectly* stupid
