The conception as class papers limits the style to a naive submissive form. Walser can form brillant sentences but they don't show up here. The almost effusive character of Fritz' narration is almost always broken by small statements of disillusion on civilization. Easily readable as opposed to The Robber.
Der Commis, one of the three longer stories in addition to the 20 Kocher stories, is the strongest.

Hopefully, better than The Robber. The first stories are disappointing as well but for completely other reasons, being his first publication and The Robber the last. Pretending that the stories are papers by a deceased pupil doesn't work well.
The best thing so far is the large print. All books should have this. Small print is ageism! Nicely illustrated with drawings of his brother Karl Walser.
