I think saying “yo this is actually good but the author is a pedo” is basically the same as admiring Mein Kampf while arguing the death of the author is important
Basically what I mean is Made in Abyss IS BAD and I don’t like people heaping praise on it. The author is a pedophile. The story, characters, and plenty of scenes in it are softcore (or maybe not even softcore, I haven’t read it for obvious reasons) child porn. Sadistic child porn too. I can poke a million holes in Made in Abyss, but what’s the point?
The best advice I have is to practice writing proper prose in a stream of consciousness style. Try to not edit other than with the delete button on what you just wrote. At least, that’s how I got to my kind of eloquence.
You know how people advise you to read you writing aloud to hear how it sounds? Phrasing, readability, etc. I think the skill I have that helps the most is being able to write cogent and speakable language from a stream of consciousness. Try typing exactly how you speak, errors, accents and local expressions all included. It’s a skill, yeah. Turning your vocalized speech into internal speech into written language; you get to the point where you can produce written language that sounds like someone speaking naturally.
As for flow and getting a point across? Studying prose helps. Simple things like “shorter sentences make a punchier phrase” or whatever help. Having a written style helps also. I’m not exactly sure if any of this helps, but thank you for complimenting my eloquence. I’ve never felt particularly eloquent - but I do speak my mind and only my mind. Popular opinion and groupthink are for unoriginal people. Sure, you can hold a popular opinion, but you’ve also got to have a reason for it that you can express.
Agreed. I very much have no intention of ever reading the manga or supporting anything to do with it for those reasons. The anime i watched sort of out of morbid curiosity.

Years ago my ex was trying to get me into anime and they decided to show me Made in Abyss and it put me off anime for years
Ummm excuse me, but how can I become as articulated as you?
Are you being sarcastic or genuine?
Genuine. That paragraph read very well to get your point across.
