Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
That is the definition of the word and my idea of what it means IS that definition. I don't make up definitions for words and its not my job. I don't see how Nasu is trying to be pretentious, did he say in an article that he is the best writer of all time or that Fate is the best story ever written? I don't understand how you believe this unless you actually have an article or are in a fantasy world with magical unicorns. Are you believing this because people are saying Fate is the best novel in the world? I am so confused how exactly he is pretentious. I don't remember in the story Nasu pretending to impress me with his talent then what he actually has. If I enjoy a novel then I will say so just as much as if I don't enjoy a novel.
End- Thank you for arguing kinda fun. Now I would like this thread to not be derailed so I doubt I will respond since its going to be clear we have different definitions for the word "pretentious". (If you trolled me, you deserve a medal)
