Sarcastic? No. But I don’t know Spanish, maybe in original it isn’t that easy to read. I read it in my native language. It was a long time ago when I was a kid, so I don’t remember details, but I don’t remember any problems with plot structure or personages either. I remember it as a set of loosely tied scenes, and that was fine by me.
Reading it in Spanish is a pain in the ass even for a native speaker, book is from the 1600s so you can imagine the language is really different to what it is today. I imagine there must be some version in “current language”, but in school we were told to read the original and it was a pain, didn’t get past the first quarter then and never tried reading it again

If you read it as a kid without problems, you were most likely either a particularly gifted kid or reading an abridgement
