I really think you all are missing the mark here lol. I believe the robotic way the MC talks is intentional, it's a way to show just how unsocialized he is compared to the other characters. I mean this person has been avoiding all social contact for years and years of course he doesn't speak like a normal person and the other characters have made fun of him for it at times. But as you mentioned it has been getting better in chapter 3.5 and I think that's also intentional to help show his growth as his friends help socialize him and make him more normal. Of course he talks like an overly poetic robot, he doesn't know any colloquialisms or vernacular because he hasn't been involved in society to learn them so talks like a person who knows English from reading lofty books and sad poetry lol.
I think it actually helps with the story building and the characters having their own voices. A lot of the characters do talk like normal people even if that means the English isn't always grammatically correct just like 99% of people don't talk with perfect grammar in real life spoken dialogue even if they write that way lol. I think it's a nice change to have character's with real voices unlike most VNs where the only way to distinguish which character is talking is by reading the name on the text box because they all sound EXACTLY the same! With SG you can tell by how the characters talk whether it's the MC, Bella, Nami, etc. and that is missing from sooo many other VNs.
There are of course some spelling errors like the "Martial Arts" example but Ocean has a proofreader as he has said in Patron posts so i'm sure those will be caught but hopefully the voices of the characters stay the same and they talk in weird ways sometimes or don't always have perfect grammar because that's how real people talk. And i'm sure we will see the MC talk more normal and wax less poetically as he becomes more of a normal socialized adult and less of an outcast who doesn't talk to anyone and shuns all social contact lol.
