I don't think wwx was annoying as a person when he was young, I think he was 15 with a crush he desperately wanted attention from and tried to aggressively befriend him. but he couldn't read lwjs' mind, and I think people hold that against him sometimes

failing to understand why an author made a particular choice is not automatically a reflection of the author's ability or intelligence. maybe you just need to look closer. maybe the work is not for you. maybe try a little harder than "well i don't get it so this is a bad book"
