Hm. 'linguistic genius' may be true in that he loved inventing languages and that those languages sometimes came before the stories themselves.
But showing "how ~clever and ~smart he was"? Seriously, when it comes to throwing in obvious literary references, you can do a lot worse than that. Yes, he liked reusing Old English, Old Norse names or story, and it can be a pleasure to spot them, but I doubt it was done as smugly as you make it to be.

As for the absence of a "deep and engaging storyline"...Well, YMMV, of course, but I beg to differ.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, this.

I can understand someone not liking it, though I really liked it. I can't understand the whole "he was trying to be clever" thing, though, at all.

Basically inventing my favorite genre ever = being a braggart? SRSLY INTERNET?

I didn't intend to say that it was done smugly, just that those were his main motivations for writing the stories.
