I guess I agree, but social media hasn’t exactly kept my standards high about good writing in general… Probably to my detriment, but I know I suck at writing too.
I’m not going to claim to be a great writer myself, but I recognized OOP’s style from the sort of utter shit I used to hand in when I was 13 years old and trying to second-guess what sort of thing the teacher would give good grades for.
It reads like they just learned about “show, don’t tell”, and resolved to show for seven whole lines and then tell anyway. It’s an insult to the reader’s intelligence.
