was he actually paid by word? in school my friend and i had a joke about how he used so many more words than he needed to. i think he dedicates an entire paragraph in one of his books to describing someone knocking on a door.
i still rate him though

you overrate yourself as a reader

The fact that he was paid by the word is not a criticism. A great artist can stylistically take advantage of a surplus of words just as another great artist might take advantage of a minimal amount.

Hey guys, did you guys know most writers do it as a job? No wonder there's so many bad books! Writing for money should be illegal. and anything written for money should be burned and forgotten.

Dogshit opinion, OP.
Dickens is possibly the anglophone GOAT.
and A Christmas Carol is an all-time Top-Five piece of literature.

Astonishing, I know. To think a great artist might be writing his works for money. Unthinkable.
