> Because his writing style is so poor and very wordy, there are almost no golden sentences

Did you read it in Chinese? I have only read English translations of his work, and I assumed the style issues were more related to the translation than anything else.

Yes. In fact, Liu's Chinese writing level is far lower than the average Chinese writer. In the original Chinese version, there are actually many words that are offensive to female (this is understandable considering his Chinese background and age). But as far as I know, these are optimized in translation. So his imagination is better amplified.

Unlikely, since the translator is an author in his own right, and his work does not suffer from this problem.
