3 Reasons:
1. Chapter 9 of Foxhound.
2. Itachi Uchiha worship so asinine that it robs the work of quality.
3. Chapter 1 of Underdog Hollow, in which 13,000 words are spent without the main character and the story being established.
The bigger reason is this: Kraken's writing assumes that you care enough to read through walls upon walls of pointless and confusing text without actually giving you a reason to care.
His writing style encompasses an older form that I've come to despise. It's not exactly purple, but excessively descriptive with interludes of unneeded poetic nuances that amount to padding for anyone looking for solid plot and characters.
Melodrama and angst aside, I can't help but read his work and then go back and question the necessity of it. He writes so much and somehow accomplishes next to nothing with it.
Foxhound took 230,000 words to get where most us could get to in 100,000 words or less.
Had I written Underdog Hollow with the same intent for the first chapter, I would edit it however many times I needed to make sure that it wasn't any longer than 3000 words.
Nothing against the guy personally, his writing just drives me up the wall.
/rant.
