Work that is too polished or had too much tome spent on it. OP’s pic is misleading

How is that a bad thing? Do you want something half-assed that starts off good only to taper out into mediocrity because the author couldn't be bothered?

Because prose that smells of the lamp doesn't sound natural.

"the smell of the &amp" would mean something that lacks polish to such an extent that it is absurd that the writer didn't show more care

i.e: Husky Mutt Puppy
a story so good, yet so fraught with errors, that a gradeschooler could polish up many of the mistakes and turn in a less erroneous
