Pro Tip from an author who just experienced this:
When a reader tells an Author that asked for their opinion on a chapter, that it doesn't feel like their work, and that it's too verbose, because they're writing the POV of a very formal and verbose character, even going so far as to say "They don't wanna read all that"... it tends to make the author not want to write that fic anymore.
