I don't think anyone considers NL writers to be in the level of JK Rowlings yet. But that doesn't in any way mean we can't enjoy them and praise them for valiant efforts. While your points are very valid, your method of presenting them is caustic. And that's where we frown. Criticism must not be derogatory, and nobody likes a person toots their own horns.

You do not have to tell us you are better than most writers here for us to know that. A famous saying in your field is 'show, don't tell.'

JK Rowling isn't really a good writer. She's average.

My post was intentionally caustic; to gain attention. This is one of the most efficient ways to pass across a message on Nairaland.

I'd really love to read the authors you do recommend.

And if your post was intended to sound caustic to gain attention, I'd say it is wrong. I mean, you abuse people to gain attention? That's low. And the people might just find it a tad too difficult to sieve through your scathing tone for the supposed message you are passing. And that effectively defeats the very purpose for your caustic tone.

I do think you are a good writer. Just don't be a shitty person.

Thanks for the advice and compliments.
