I'm part way through chapter 7 now and I think I've figured out what it is that bothers me so much about this (minus the hypocracy and self rightious bookreport Literature homework bits). Basically, he refuses to drink some things for religious reasons... yet he has less that no problems with sucking down memories. Remembering sometthing Harry said to Dudley in book 7 I figured out what it is at the most basic level. Harry tells Dudley that the Dementors were not after his life... they are only after his soul. Which means to me that the body lives on afterwards, at least till starvation or exposure gets it.
So what a soul does in the Potterverse is not keeps you alive, but keeps you mobile and responsive... in otherwords what Skysaber is doing is mantaining a fairly stead diet of souls. That which makes you, you. So while he won't drink non caffine tea for religious reasons, souls are perfectly okay.
Looking at the first chapter, I think he ate GL's soul in his sleep and the part of him that freaks at absorbing all those memories is a man being eaten alive in his own body.
More disturbing in the author's notes he states this is a self insert of himself... meaning by his own admission Skysaber is a sociopath that wants to eat souls and kill fictional fat children in cold blood for the sins of his parents and set the parents up for the murder... which means he should by his own words be locked up and the only reason he hasn't killed people is fear of getting caught.
My favorite bit is that he talks of his mental strength gained by being mentally shattered repeatedly... read getting bad reviews on other stories. At least that is what it looks like to me.
Also after 6 1/2 parts we haven't actually seen him get challenged in any significant way.
