True, I may be reading to much into it... but its not just the AN or any one thing... every thought he writes down, every attitude he expands upon, every time he explains something in his charicter's head, every time its how he rationalizes his decisions all of it is consistantly sociopathic. Looking at his previous works I'm well aware that he has poor impulse control when writing... in this one he can't stop himself from doing long speaches of ranting bookreports, for half the chapter. That and his development of Macgonal's charicter that has her a 7 year old (meaning she doesn't have any real magic to speak of and likely no wand) wandering around warzones stealing a tank shooting at people... which came up in a story about how she was used as payment to a japanese sub captain wandering around in European waters. So she is worth a sub full of critically needed gear, but let wander around warzones? To the point she gets a tank, one near enough to steal. I know he trainwrecks things.
Part of it is I don't give him enough credit as a skilled writer to pull off writing a consistant sociopath. That the style of thinking extends through the rants as well. Which means that for the first time every he is doing the chapter eating rants in a manner that isn't OOC for the charicter.
That he keeps going on about his confusion over how come Rowling keeps saying she meant one thing and her charicters keep doing some things that aren't what she says she meant... means he hasn't quite figured out that stories sometimes write themselves and ignore what the one writing them actually intended to have happen. Which is a root of a lot of his problems keeping a story from imploding.
Its his consistancy of writing the story as a sociopath that sticks to me the most. From the consistant 'people are mindless tools' mindset, to the utter lack of conflict of note in 7 chapters that means obsticals fall like grain before a flaming scyth, to his bafflement of why it is that Ted doesn't want to have over a decade of his memories rewritten by someone he has known less than a week (Muggles seem to have a resistance to his combo SI and GL originated Aura of Smooth), to how everything he does gains him spiffy benifits he didn't intend. The charicter is a sociopath plain and simple.
That he falls into the role and stays in the zone (writing through the eyes and mind of a sociopath) for chapter after chapter, means he has a rather easy time emulating a sociopath. Also, if he has sociopathic tendancies it would explain why he implodes for a while everytime his stories start getting bad reviews consistantly ('sheep' blowing off their Aura of Smooth does that to sociopaths), how he manages to actually stays in charicter for his frequent mid chapter editorial columns for once, and it goes quite nicely with my eariler comment of how he creepily seems to want to make Akane so terrible that no one else would want her... leaving her as his personal puppet for whatever creepy reason he wants her isolated.
