I was in a Discord call while watching this with three others watching via screenshare.
We all put down guesses as to why the explosion happened.
one said he blew it up for the money
one said that there was an injustice with the employees
one said he was mad about being beat in a chess game
I jokingly said there was some stupid romantic subplot we didn't hear from...
When you stated WHAT actually was the reason, I yelled "I was JOKING!"
Try being the guy who READ the book. I had to put the book down and complain to anyone within earshot!
Holy fuck, did not expect to see doodle here.
@@KrimsonRogue Was reading this book like reading a mytho's tome
But instead of being blessed (or cursed) with mind shattering cosmic truth you were instead cursed with major amounts of stress and want to quit reading for all eternity?
My guess was that he was an architect who hated how the building looked.
STILL less stupid than the actual reason.
“You thought it would be Jojo, but it was me, Titus Uno, certified public accountant, forensic certified public accountant, and chartered global management accountant!”
I literally spat out loud laughing reading this and I don't even know the Jojo series for a reference hahaha

I deadass thought the 64-squares book was an accounting textbook.
Yep but its not. Cause an accounting textbook sounds more fun then 64 squares

Same. At first I was like "why is Krimson reading some financial book? Sounds boring as fuck"
Same!! I couldn’t figure out why Krimson was reviewing a textbook 😂
Well.... I thought it was about how to get good at chess... because 64 squares...
I do worry about your sanity. Not because of the books, but because you think something can be dogproofed
Call me an optimist. XD
Some call the human the ultimate beast of destruction.
But they have yet to meet doggo.

... arrived at Hogwarts... I mean the 64 squares something or other building I met with my team. I was wearing a white shirt with tan khakis and white shoes because I'm super Christian and so I love white and purity and stuff. Just that day I found that all my teammates changed their names because they were Christian now. I'm a super good influence on them and now they all have angel names.
This hurts to read.
STOP.
@@datawolf39 you're an accountant, Harry
, certified public accountant,
Howdy. Auditor here. I've read 64 Squares, and the author's knowledge of accounting is painfully lacking. If he has those titles he's supposedly earned, he 100% had to do some "favors" for the people who examined him.
Thank you for the expert insight.
i've taken 1 accounting class in university and I have to agree
But you do have admit it’s pretty boring!
Krimson and I discussed this and I've explained how much the author fucked up basic accounting principles based on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the International Financial Reporting Standards.
I pity the bastards who hired this dude to do their taxes
"It was one of those non-violent games of chess" Mr. Uno are you implying youve seen violent games of chess???

Ironic: he could save others from reading bad books, but not himself
If I'm not mistaken that's a star wars reference
@@NEMOfishZ92 Isn't it also a bible quote? (Paraphrased)
@@midnight8341 I don't think so but I could be wrong
But its definitely a star wars reference to the Sith legend "The Tragedy of Darth Plageuis the Wise"
@@midnight8341 do you know The Tragedy of Darth Plageuis the Wise?
I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
@@NEMOfishZ92 no, I didn't know that.
"This book is like 85% setup, and maybe 5% conclusion. Don't ask me what the other 10% is idk"
The final 10% is saying "I, Titus Uno, Certified Public Accountant, Forensic Certified Public Accountant and Chartered Global Management Accountant."
Bahaha- Yeah, sounds about right
Hearing that any time more than once - no, half-ce - makes my brain turn to mush.
Some basic math on my end shows that him saying that makes up a little over 4% of the book, going by word count. I'm almost impressed.
Did more math. 5.09% of the book, give or take, is him introducing himself.
@@radojerkovic3059 lol you didn't need to do the math. I saw an opportunity to make a terrible joke.
This line on the 64 squares book killed me. 'My team uses the most high technology available such as: cameras to take pictures,'
Dead. I am dead.
If it wasn't so repetitive this could've been one of the greatest so bad its good books of all time.
I’m imagining that line in context to the late 19th century, and a spy hiding for hours to get a secret picture of someone.
That elf boy is dead
Why is literally the entire cast of characters in that 64 Squares book named like they're straight out of an Ace Attorney game
Maybe this started out as Ace Attorney fanfiction?
i thought I was the only one thinking that😭😭
I wish this was as entertaining as an Ace Attorney game!
Imagining Gumshoe just staring at him as he rattles off that list…
Um…okay pal.
Theory: the author used search and replace to switch all instances of "I" with "I, Tutus Uno, word salad" and did not care how much of a repetitive clusterfuck this turned his narration into.
Plot Twist, the other way around but he missed something in his word salad that left 93 instances in and he just went "fuck it I'm not gonna bother"
Honestly sounds like he was desperate to pad out word count in order to publish
Leaving behind one “dwigt”
and ending up with at least one "stick" turning into "stI, Titus Uno, Certified Unrememberable phrase".
I saw this recommended once as a trick to get your nanowrimo count above 50k by the deadline. It seems everyone forgot to tell this guy you weren't meant to publish it like that.

I wanna say that as the resident accountant and forensic accounting student that The Forensic Certified Public Accountant and the Cremated 64-SQUARES Financial Statements does not reflect who we are or what we do as so-called "people".
The fact that he thinks that "terrorism against a building" is an actual crime...or that he thinks any bombing of a building is terrorism makes me question his skills as an accountant. Sure, just because you're work with math and finance doesn't mean you know anything about the law, but if you're an accountant there should be _some_ overlap.
@@universalperson Accountants work a lot with lawyers so legal speak does rub off on us frequently, even criminal prosecutors (especially forensic accountants) but mostly when it comes to financial crime (fraud, tax evasion etc.). In Thrash's defense he probably just screwed that up, but really he should've done his research.
I'm just commenting to say that this exchange made me burst out laughing!
How are these comments days old when the video is hours old?
Holy shit your username! You really are an accountant, huh? But are you a certified public accountant, forensic certified public accountant, and chartered global management accountant?
If you've ever read company accounts, this book is absolutely hilarious, as it reads like it was written by someone who writes accounts for a living - massive reduplicated elements everywhere, spelling everything out in an attempt to get all information possible onto the page regardless as to whether it actually clarifies anything. This is hilarious, absolutely hilarious.
It honestly almost comes across to me as satire/an inside joke that went to far.
Even as someone who has never read a company account I could figure that out. It's obvious to everyone that he has the wrong kind of writing experience.
but why would he think that's how novels work
are we being trolled
As an accountant myself, yeah, this is definitely our kind writing style.
@@QuikVidGuy inexperience.
1:07:27 Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. That poison?
I can not accept that someone did that unironically.
so... As per the Japanese legal system, and more importantly, the Japanese SOCIAL system, Akira IS a murderer.
She took an action which resulted in the death of another person. _Circumstance does not matter._ Even if the law decided she was not deserving of punishment somehow, the social repercussions would follow her forever, and she would be labeled a vicious willful killer by everyone around her, regardless of anything else.
Japanese social structure is very hyper-terrified of any kind of unlawful behavior, and as previously noted, that extends to accidental lawbreaking.
If someone were accused of having once possessed any amount of marijuana for example, that person would probably be blacklisted from almost every socially acceptable place. People would cower from that person, and would refuse to go near them for fear of being associated with a _dangerous criminal._
This same sort of hypervigilance applies in kind to homosexuality.
There are exceptions... but that's what they are: _exceptions._
Similarly, police manhandling suspects is not above the board... but not ... unheard of either... anywhere.
However, as per the Japanese side of things, the inspector being told to drop the case because its been resolved, in spite of knowing there is another culprit... actually pretty true to life. Japan's legal system doesn't try cases that aren't a 100% conviction chance, so if someone confesses and puts forth enough evidence to prove their guilt... even if it's fabricated... that case is effectively closed... unless someone can prove that the evidence presented is invalid _before_ the trial takes place... as mentioned, if you see a trial start, you know what the verdict is going to be.
The biggest problem with the tone of this book seems to be more the optimism of Akira assuming she can ever have a normal life, after having been exposed to this much drama.. because drama itself is a kind of violent crime per Japan.
And, aside from that, the whole thing does have a certain air of "How an outsider would view another culture, having not lived in it." That's not to say its wrong... but it does seem more tropal than plausible. It reads on the surface like a Japanese light novel, with all the tropes and themes you can list from such... but I can't shake the feeling that, much like a Japanese writer might _choose_ to depict things in a more than strictly authentic way, this writer has... perhaps _unintentionally_ also stretched a few cultural ideas too thin, or just failed to recognize some very important ones that aren't present. I can only wonder whether this is more a product trying to tell a foreign story, or a story trying to mimic a foreign style.
Thank you for your comment! It was really jnformative
Just being violent with another student and destroying her phone would be enough to effectively destroy her, socially. Just being suspended from school would be really hard to really recover from. Being associated with someone's death... a violent death... Forget it. Even if she was merely a close relative of someone who was associated with that sort of thing would make her a pariah.
Yeahh, the book was REALLY mediocre. Generic and mediocre. The Japanese setting is just so risky to write in 'cause it's so different.
Finally, a comment that isn't about the accountant's book!
I thought the same while listening to the review. I found it really difficult to suspend my disbelief
As an American, that kind of thing sounds insane. If the US adopted such a social system, the first thing you would see is that the suicide rate would skyrocket to such a degree that life expectancy would go right through the floor. Probably 60% of kids would kill themselves due to peer pressure before they graduated high school. I have never broken the law in this country and I have still done things that would apparently get me disowned by society in Japan.
Love how every other book Krimson has reviewed were self-inserts about being the ultimate badass warrior, lover or whatever. This guy is just so thrilled to be an accountant. Also is the only one to make Krimson give-up. And it's by far the shortest book. Kind've amazing in its own way.

I NEED a 64-SQUARES audiobook read by Mojo Jojo!
Squares has so much potential to be absolutely hilarious and interesting. I'd read a book about a nosey CPA that wishes he'd gotten into the FBI and fumbles his way into a terror investigation and gets it wrong at every turn. Everyone around him could be way more competent, but Dunning Krueger just keeps on trucking thinking he should be in charge. Bonus points if he accidentally solves the case.
where is this episode of pink panther
Imagine if the author snuck in small details where Titus did things exactly 64 times, and at the end of the book there’s an epilogue where someone reflects on something, and through that they discover that maybe the dude they thought did it didn’t do it, and it ends with something like “I, Titus Uno, name stuff, declare checkmate”, and through some logic, it’s revealed that Titus blew the building up
No but that would actually be good.
The fact that The Art of War is the most visible book on the throne feels strangely fitting for these reviews.

I actually thought that the Accountant book was some kind of accounting book that is required by classes in university (it certainly looks like the university books I had, I'm no accountant). The formatting looks like a thesis manuscript as well. To my surprise, is actually a work of fiction.
Same! I literally thought it was some kind of academic thing, not something with a narrative
I guess Mr. Thrash CPA GPA AFK is just that boring lmao
“Work of fiction” is quite a strong title to call this
There are charming accountants, ceryl figgins for example, but i think badass acountant leads either to some covering up of some public affairs, a accountant inside exposing, a accountand suffering due some ,
maybe make him an accountant wit some weird element, one having to work with a jerk agent, something to play finances off.
An accountant come to work with demons and whatever and the badass accountant works best as joke because its unlikely useful, some bureaucracy with demons, chuthulu. Or a blackmailed accountant,
Like kafka was using his work as inspiration, as lawyer. Accountant from hell with makin an alternate but reasonable finance , create a fantasy finance system with a fantastical accountant and action involved there fitting with it being fantasy. But saying something about real injustice in the system
And humor, never forgt humor, humor can make up for a lot.
Ithink if he could get an idea about writing, he might have more working bizarre trashy but fun humor. Maybe even shart humor. If its mor interesting.
As someone who works in an accounting office, I would like to say that this feels very much what an accountant would write. I work in audit, and while not I CPA, when I heard about the building being blown up and an auditor called to figure out how it would affect the books, I though "Would you not just impair the asset and write it down to it's fair value. Which should just be $0." How is that the climax? That is like your starting point.
Also his copy and paste style is likely due to how boiler-plate technical accounting writing is. You don't get paid more for writing pretty sentences so you should put enough information to get your point across. To hell with making it easily readable. This is about being quickly writable.
And when it comes to infantile prose... Honestly that is the way you have to talk to most people in my field. You have to lead people by the nose and never expect anyone to know anything because that is often the case.
This plot was also a terrible choice for an auditor to play a pivotal role. Okay, so I don't know what forensic auditors do. I'm ignorant on that. But, I do think that a story with an auditor protagonist can work. I mean you're dealing with money, people with selfish motivations, and working to find people trying to hide their actions. There is conflict to be had. I think it would have worked better as a more down to earth story, having an antagonist that was siphoning money from a local Mom & Pop shop. The reader would want to see these nice people running this business succeed and the culprit brought to justice. Have a bit of Sherlock Holmes investigation just with more numbers. And accounting is actually very little math. It is just addition, subtraction, and multiplying. Most of accounting is how the numbers are grouped. So explaining how the numbers effect who is the suspect does not have to be too dry.
In all, the writer should have expected more out of people who would actually read for fun and not spell out every mundane event or occurrence. He should have actually spent the time to make it easily readable as opposed to the work-papers you hand to the regulating body for them to figure out. And he probably should have had a conflict that would have actually been solved by an auditor. Hope this shed some light on how an account views this story.
A forensic accountant could even play a big role in uncovering some very serious crime, like massive multinational corruption. They've also contributed to murder cases getting solved, by providing motive and pointing to suspects. There's potential here!
Thanks for providing your insight - I also got a real "[bad] technical writing" vibe from a lot of the excerpts.
if this were a good writer, it very well could have been a black comedy the Coen bros. would have made, a la *Fargo*. but the accountant would have been just one character in a larger cast of other leads, really
I was about to contest your first sentence, but then I remembered I’m an accountant who’s been creatively writing my entire life. Lol
Coming back to this several months later, and honestly a mystery/thriller novel with an accountant investigating the aftermath of a horrible tragedy actually has some promise. You could explore the psychological impact of trying to logic your way through a traumatic event, and the idea of an accountant accidentally stumbling across a massive conspiracy and being way out of his element is hilarious.
I want to know what goes on in the heads of folks who write objectively terrible books. Like, do they think writing a book is just detailing things and events without needing any point behind it?
like, sometimes you can't help thinking of ways that their premise/characters/you name it, could have been made BETTER
then you look at the prose, and, oh no--
funny enough , there is a series where an accountant of a rich woman who inherited everything from her father that had basically everything, found out that a tragedy that linked her with 4 of her friends in a airplane crash that happened was revealed that happened by her father in order to buy more companies to get more money. i hope this is comprehensible enough without using the names of the characters
@@TauGeneration sounds interesting. What's it called?
@@ohshit4860 well.. it's not translated into English. and besides, it's not the main focus of the series. the series is about the 5 friends who have nothing in common besides the plain crash and a murder(from poisoning) that they witnesses in an elevator.
Constructive criticism is key to the development of any artistic/literary enterprise
So very true. And yet it's so difficult to actually convince people to criticize your work. Even when you beg them to. We can only improve when we know what our weaknesses are.
Watching these reviews have honestly been a big help with my own writing
Yup
I'm currently working on a writing piece. (It's been a long planning and creative process. Starting to finnally get to actually typing the first draft now. )
But once I have a finished product. I want Krimson to tear it to shreds. Like, this project may be my baby, but I really do want someone to harshly tear it apart after it's done. Just because, well criticism is great, and I think it would be fun having someone pick it apart.
Indeed. T.S. Eliot put it best in his essay Tradition and The Individual Talent-- 'we might remind ourselves that criticism is as inevitable as breathing, and that we should be none the worse for articulating what passes in our minds when we read a book and feel an emotion about it, for criticizing our own minds in their work of criticism.'

"I, Mojo Jojo, Certified Public Accountant, Forensic Certified Public Accountant, and Chartered Global Management Accountant, will proceed to write the most boringly pretentious publication of fiction mankind has ever seen!"
"While I, Mojo Jojo, am on a related topic, was there not a book about vampires? I, Mojo Jojo, was promised vampires!"
I actually think that the CPA "terrorist" mystery novel would make for an excellent action comedy if put into the right hands. If I were making it into a movie, I would call it "I, Titus Uno," because of how many times that protagonist uses his name pretensiously. As an action comedy, I think the protagonist Titus Uno's real name is actually Trent Umber. He in reality is a very lonely and socially isolated nerd, and he creates this fantasy alter ego Titus Uno, in his own graphic novel, to fulfill his unmet desire to be appreciated by his peers and to feel important. Trent Umber has an insane fantasy of building his own pseudo "Justice League" with his coworkers and writes about it in his graphic novel (which is poorly written and drawn). But when Trent Umber hears about a real terror attack on the news (maybe the Nashville Christmas bombing?), he gathers what little friends he has to form the vigilante hero team of his dreams. Trent tries to ineptly insert himself into this real police case doing the only thing he knows how to do: CPA accounting. He then calls himself by the name of his graphic novel alter ego, Titus Uno, and his cravings for validation and love drives him to insane extremes that push him and his friends further into the police rabbit hole they weren't meant to solve. Hilarity and hijinks ensue.
Then near the end when he has been brought low he gives up and does some accounting. Through that he manages to figure out how the terrorists are laundering their money and then he follows hidden money trail and manages to unveil that they have accounts in shady Hong Kong banks and cracks the organization wide open.
Accounting is a very serious part of law enforcement. Especially when you are dealing with organized crime and terrorist organizations.
The number one most desierable background you can have if you want to work for the FBI is accounting.

I would watch the heck out of this movie!
Sounds like the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Not in a bad way, mind you. I remember reading the short story in class and really liking it. When the movie came out I was like "why? There isn't really enough source material to draw out a full film." But this take on 64 Squares could easily stretch it to a two hour minimum and possibly longer.
Trent Umber is a really awesome sounding name, ngl.
As a former field technician for construction sites, the writing style resembles the structure of the daily reports I had to submit for the activity of the contractors I had to observe. I did often find myself using Copy-Paste techniques for quickly submitting the same information over and over, but that was usually data from report to report and seldom in the same one. The idea was that you wanted the report to be as detailed - and concise - as possible so that it could easily be understood, especially if it needed to be cited for something like a lawsuit. However, I at least understood the functions of a thesaurus and tried my best to keep myself from sounding redundant on a regular basis.
That being said, I personally think it's a miracle that this author was able to type out this story (or any of his reports for that matter) without his computer exploding from the sheer number of errors on display in every page.

I'm glad my book could ease the pain of the other one for you Krimson. Thank you for the wonderful criticism. Unfortunately, a bit late to apply it to the second book, but I will definitely take the points to heart moving forward and work to improve myself. Thanks again for taking the time to look at it and provide an honest review! Helps me so very much.
You also had me in stitches with all of the clips thrown in, especially the ones involving Takashi. ^_^
I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I might need to read the sequel to help me recover from reading 'Ready Player Two'.
I can honestly say that your worldbuilding and action scenes are MUCH better than Ernest Cline's. And I don't mean that as a matter of opinion, I mean objectively.
@@KrimsonRogue We all shine in our own ways. I'm glad that you feel my worldbuilding is a strength of mine, although I personally feel like my action scenes are lacking. Kind of bad, considering later books have a LOT more action. ^_^
Despite the one-note characters in this book, I do feel character building is a strength too. Hopefully that shines through more so in Vol 2, but only time will tell.
So I dont know if it was on purpose but Akiras name immediately reminded me of light from death note which set me up to think of her as someone who may do bad thing but with solid reasoning. I think the name association was good in framing the character.
Also yes Krimson I dont know why people like Ready player one so much that book sucked and I refuse to read the sequel.

I've been reading through the comment thread QnA from the author of Pretty Little Psycho and I'm genuinely surprised about how good their responses are to what people have to say. Even critical comments were taken well. This is how an author should be responding. The polar opposite of the author of Empress Theresa, if you will. Will definitely be reading the book (i skipped the section in this video to avoid spoilers).
Thank you! I won't lie that some comments do hurt, but that's no reason to lash back out at people. All that would get me is an arguing match. Honestly, I'm just grateful for the ones who were critical, and gave the book a chance. So many wouldn't even give it a chance.
If you do(or did) check it out, I hope you enjoyed it. If it was unavailable when you went to look into it I was doing a rewrite of the book to vastly improve upon it, but it should be available now.(and for cheaper!)

Guys guys guys, hear me out... I think the main character may be an accountant
I can only hear that "I, Titus Uno..." monologue in MOJO JOJO's voice

1:13:21 timestamp
The idea of an accountant constantly trying to be a part of an investigation but only keeps getting in the way actually sounds hilarious.
Too bad it wasn't written that way.
I think the guy who wrote 64-Squares never really read any fictional/storytelling book in his entire life
No joke, "64 Squares" sounds exactly like the book I would expect to see if I was told it was self-published by a multi-certified accountant a good ways on the Autism Spectrum, with a fascination with chess and cheesy thrillers.
Many peculiarities in the text could probably be traced to whatever guidebooks the author read and took quite literally, or to common good writing advice that frankly requires an underlying understanding of the social framework of fiction and communication thereof to successfully execute.
For just one example, the incessant repetition of Titus Uno's qualifications could easily stem from a piece of advice like "if an aspect of a character is important for the story, mention it in your text every now and then so your readers don't forget it". The author obviously considers it very important that Titus Uno is not only a Certified Public Accountant, but also a Certified Forensic Accountant and a Chartered Global Management Accountant. "Every now and then" is an idiom whose actual meaning is much less frequent than its literal wording makes it seem, and it takes a good deal of well tuned social awareness to know what is enough but not too much when it comes to repetition of crucial information in a piece of fiction. Low aptitude in social awareness and high tolerance of repetition of course are both classic traits of autistic people. Lack of variation is another one, hence this information is always "told" as a litany of titles after the main character mentions himself, not "shown", or demonstrated in other ways.
Autistic men. Not women. Sincerely an autistic woman.
When it takes this long to explain how bad a book this thin is, you know it's good.
...was this written by Mojo Jojo?
Cause that's what it feels like when this guy adresses himself lmao
Admit it, it would be a cool twist if at the end of the book, someone mentioned that he looks like a monkey in a suit with a brain-jar, and then a bunch of kindergartners would break into the office and beat him up.
how dare you disrespect mojo jojo like that
Mojo Jojo would write a better literary travesty than whomever wrote that book,and *_he'd_* be the _better writer/author than that guy,dude!_
I felt the same! I had this feeling that I was listening to something written by Mojo Jojo, it is so weird.
Now that I think about it.
One detail would have made so many of “pretty little psychos” problems go away.
What if they established early on that Akira’s father was a locally famous loan shark, with Yakuza ties.
This would explain why everyone hates her and no authority person would trust her or at least be less sympathetic to her.
It also could have been used as a reason for the murder of her parents. They tried to cheat the wrong guys and those retaliated. Leaving the kids go, since they only had trouble with the parents.
So the 4th Pretty Little Psycho book was released recently and it's really good! The author went through the first 3 and did some pretty heavy rewrites so I'd really recommend taking another look!!
motive guesses:
-revenge for being fired
-in love with the valentine lady (I'm guessing this solely because she had valentine in her name)
-pissed that he lost at human chess
-OH MY GOD WAS HE A PIECE THAT GOT KILLED IN CHESS
EDIT: OH MY GOD I DID IT
Congrats
When I read this comment I assumed the right guess would be the human chess part because at least it’d tie into the game /book name and theme but … no … not at all
Congraturation, this story is happy end.
Congrats, you're insane!
I wish Tito Uno had mentioned his job at least once, now I feel curious about what his job title is :(
I mean judging by the subtlety of the book, I have to assume something to do with being an accountant? I dunno, I’m not an English teacher.
I think it was mentioned once or twice off handedly but I’m not exactly sure since it was just so short and subtle
He had a job? Dang I must have missed that bit.
You mean he had a name?? Not even Daphne du Maurier was brave enough to do that!
"You've got a few normal names like Greg Templar...."
The part where he constantly reiterates the "I, Titus Uno, *bunch of text*" reminds me of when I had to write my Home-econs report and copy pasted the whole sentence of my aim over and over whenever it's brought up, just to reach the word count.
the fact that the book looks like one of my college textbooks is already stressing me out
I don't think Dwight Thrash has ever actually read a book before. He just heard what they were and decided to try it out for himself.
I think how he writes in GENERAL is just math. Plain English is illogical to him.
This got me thinking. My theories are:
A) He was homeschooled. I'm not american, so I'm not fully clear on american education system, but what I have collected from american popculture is that they are made to read at least a few books during school. Wich means he was probably never forced to read a fictional book, still homeschooled well enough to get to be educated for whatever he has all those titles.
B) He simply has never read a book that he liked and desided to write something he would want to read.
Or C) he's some kind of neurodivergence on autism spectrum and he has difficulties understanding neurotypical interractions, including books.
@@samuellaakso7012 After all Albert Einstein was also autistic as well
@@kiethveseyofficial what has Einstein got to do with this?
@@samuellaakso7012 Someone here in the comments tossed out that the insane redundancy of the book's text is reminiscent of what you'd find in actual accounting documents, so perhaps he got that from there. I think you're on something there with the required reading as well; it's apparently not uncommon for Americans to never read after they leave school (I'm not american either so I can't confirm this personally) and that's apparently connected to the just hating it, so he might have just made a book he liked with the "skills" he learned in accounting.
My guess is that he blew up the building because he read Empress Theresa and needed to let off a little steam.
I think it's telling that Clef Treble saw being trespassed from the 64-SQUARES skyscraper building as a barrier to seeing Pam Valentine. In addition to the fact that she is referred to as his "friend", interchangeably with his "girlfriend", it's pretty obvious that they were not, in fact, romantically involved. Clef had been forcing his presence on her in the one place she couldn't escape (on duty at work). Without that setup, he would be left with no opportunity to spend time with her. It could be considered good storytelling if it wasn't so obviously unintentional. I'm more inclined to believe that Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA intended to write a normal romantic scenario and managed to tell on himself. I can easily imagine him as the type of man who would repeatedly corner a woman at work, mistake her (obligatory) professional courtesy for interest, and mentally construct a love story where there is none.
Edit: Oh god, I just realized that this is why the book culminates in a rant about how Clef Treble's 'terrorist attack' was semi-justified because "businesses should not be allowed to tell people what to do". I can almost guarantee that Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA watches those videos of people going into Walmart, harassing people, refusing to leave when they get trespassed, then screaming about civil rights violations when the cops finally show up to arrest them. I strongly suspect that Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA has been trespassed for harassing his "girlfriend" at work and wrote this book in response.
"I, Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA, would never bomb a skyscraper building terrorist attack because there is no good motive for cremating the innocent workers and people and financial documents inside of the skyscraper building but if I, Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA did, then I, Dwight David Thrash CPA FCPA CGMA would be a little bit understandable because businesses don't have the right to tell people what to do and where to go even though they have the right because they shouldn't have the right even though its the law."

You know the way Titus uno talks would make a good Jojo character cuz only in Jojo could that work
Accounting misconception:
It's a common misconception that accounting is lots of difficult math. In fact, the math is simple, but the difficult question is knowing the proper way to record and report something. The company buys a car: can you just record that as an instant $30,000 expense? No, because they bought something that it valuable, and can be sold to regain that cash. It slowly loses value over time. On the other hand, small expenses are recorded immediately, because it would be a waste of time to record the slow loss of value for a box of paperclips. I hope that makes sense. It actually gets more complicated, though. If a small company buys a machine that costs $5,000 then that needs to be recorded and slowly written off as an expense, just like the car, because that's a large purchase *for that company*. If a huge corporation, like Amazon or Microsoft buys the same machine for the same price, that is a drop in the bucket for them, and it has very little impact on them. Hence, it is less "material" and can be recorded and tracked less precisely. So again, it's a job that is more about recording things in the right way than doing math. The math part is simple enough for the average middle school student.
The other big misconception is that spending money = expense and getting money = profit. If you spend money to buy gold, you didn't "lose" money. If the value of gold drops, then you lost money and can record an expense. Since investments like gold gain and lose value every day, it would be impossible to constantly keep track of the changing value. Instead the profit or loss is recorded when you sell the investment.
Going back to the earlier example of a company that buys a car: Normally, a company buys a car as a tool that will be used and lose value, so we record the expected average lost value every year, and record the actual lost value when it is sold. However, some companies might (hypothetically) buy a collectible antique car as an investment. In that case, the car is not treated like an expense at all, but more like an investment. It will probably gain value over time. Perhaps the company buys rusty antique cars, fixes them, and sells them for huge gains. In that case, the increased value is recorded as a profit when the car is sold.
If somebody pays you to do something next month, then that is not "profit". Yes, they gave you an asset (cash), but you owe them something (a "liability", a debt). The asset and the liability offset each other. You only record the profit after you earn the payment. Doing the job eliminates the "debt" to the customer, so the payment is actually "profit".
