Interesting story, worth reading if you’re interested in crime and corruption in the South circa 1960-1980. The atmosphere reminded me of the first season of True Detective, also set in Louisiana.
I think it exceeds that bar. If he had said "TLDR" and ended it there, sure but he approached it with humor and with a few quips I found relatively eloquent. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that.
He is humorously criticizing the author's artistic choices. I think he did it pleasantly enough, how else do we want this to be done on HN?
In my opinion it's a shallow and tangential post. If you're going to comment on aesthetics over substance, at least caveat your comments with that and do it thoughtfully.

This is the kind of shallow dismissal we don't want on HN.

Is bored teenager approach "humorous" and "pleasant enough"? Not really, au contraire
