It's one of those minor things that once you see, you can't unsee. And when you do a bit of writing and are conscious of decisions like that it becomes annoying seeing it everywhere. Like the text in the image you just posted is just aesthetically hideous. The M in man isn't capitalized, English speakers don't go hoooooooooo like retarded Santa Claus, if you're gonna spam a million exclamation marks and stretch all the vowels you might as well commit to being unhinged and caps lock too. You could argue the newline is fine there because it makes the text obscure less of the important part of the image, but another thing that happens when you outsource your newline placement to whatever the length of the sentence happens to be when you translate it to English is every new text box and every new line of text has a different width your eyes have to scan, and that's really ugly and inconsistent. It's probably fine to Japanese readers because the text in their literature is traditionally presented vertically like weird little text wind chimes, and nowadays they just rotate them 90 degrees because they got colonized, but this is inarguably outside the stylistic norm of English writing.

Thank you for proving my point by posting a screenshot that has paragraphs and not Reddit spacing. Also, being an adult in Japan must be really unfun with how often childhood and innocence are idealized in their fiction. I think competence and mastery of craft are pretty fun and ought to be appreciated. You say getting mogged, but Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time are the stories with a bunch of fans making a bunch of money and getting adapted to TV so they can make a bunch more. Not like... I dunno, Worm or something
