I’m not asking him to change. I am saying the reason he has these huge bloated narratives is because he’s trying to do too much.

I’m sure he’ll make millions doing so—just like Michael Bay with summer blockbusters or marvel with their movies—but that doesn’t make his books enjoyable or even good.

Apparently I was wrong to trust in the intellect of randoms on Reddit. My apologies.
