>that writting is an skill and some people aren't good at it

This is a valid point but you also have to remember that what qualifies as "good" writing is subjective. What one person considers to be a well-crafted book might be horrible to another.

Look at all the discourse over the classics and whether or not they're actually well written.

An author can develop their style and focus in on the areas they want to grow or develop but the overall quality is still subjective.

There has definitely been a push in understanding that opinions on books are subjective and a move away from elitism that you see frequently when discussing classics.

I would argue that is proof we're being more critical when it comes to discussing literature.
