Because its simple bombastic contrarian aggrandizement. The Same thing as the hollow backpatting of the tumblr stereotype. Its not earned or rewarded, it is simply a forgone conclusion that you are great. There is a difference between the greatness of saythe Great Gatsby and that of this type of ilk. Noone ever had to tell gatsby he was great, it was the particulars of his character and his actions and motives that got him the title. These boooks tend to be self masterbatory and for some reason are proud of that fact.

No. It's not for kids.

Kidlit has child protagonists. Not hungover dudes in bathrobes whining that they didn't get laid last night. It's for manchildren.

Adams was not a novelist. He wrote radioplays and screenplays. His publisher harangued him into writing novels and he did it reluctantly and with little artfulness.
