This is the worst video I've seen from him. Holy shit. The levels of pretension here are unmatched. What makes him even more annoying for me is that he reads cool books but then ruins them by making soi-reviews about them. It's fucking horrible. He makes so many cool books uncool by just talking about them. He never seems to interact with them on a deep level though so the books remain intact, but it's just cringe.

I think he browses /lit/ and is a chartfag who just likes to find obscure literature and read it in an effort to make himself seem cool or mysterious but it's so blatant that's it cringe. I bet he's never read Shakespeare or Milton because they're too well-known and therefore won't fit his image of being an in-the-know (gets recs from /lit/charts) hipster.

I feel like if he loosened up a little bit and stopped doing things not out of enjoyment, but because he feels that he's too cool for other options, he would probably be more tolerable.

This guy's an obvious midwit and I get that slightly pretentious air from him, but you're just being pointlessly vitriolic and exacerbating the video.

Yeah, a pointless anecdote that doesn't contribute anything to the review and serves more as some sort of humble-bragging about how his life is far from mundane. I mean, he's a true rock n roller maaaan.
He also does that shit in a lot of videos.

It might not have contributed to the review, but it did contribute to the video as a whole. Whether the contribution was positive or not is subjective, and I thought it was interesting enough, if a bit cringe.

[Anonymous No.16177103]

>>16176998
>but he's genuinely passionate
I don't think so. Pretty sure he's not motivated by a love of literature but by a desire to look cool and mysterious for others. He reads not for books but for what he thinks books do for his image. It's just posturing. Hence all his shit takes and the shallowness of his commentary, which you could get from reading Wikipedia. There have been some vids of his where I'm nearly positive he didn't finish the book or he skipped/skimmed some sections. The most obvious one is his review of Hopscotch.

I'm surprised he does drugs. I thought he was a crypto-fascist because of how much he seems to like Mishima, Jünger, and black metal. That and him mentioning Jack Donovan in one video. I guess Jünger did drugs too though so it's still possible. I hope so. I want him to have like 8 children at least. He is very tall, relatively intelligent, and of northern European descent. We need more people like him.
