That reminds me of Hideo Kojima’s writing. So much exposition and info dumping in his games. And a lot of it is just non-sense. I think he learned that style of story telling from reading manga. In comics and manga speech bubbles are cheap while drawing action scenes is expensive. hence the over use of exposition in manga. Lots of Japanese writers think you can copy that style of writing for the screen. Even Japanese live action movies are often like that.
