Didn't J.K. Rowling do this with Harry Potter? She wrote the first book with simple words and slowly upped the difficulty every installment. Being a teacher for developmentally disabled kids, she knew that some of the books they were being forced to read were like throwing new swimmers into the deepend.
That's decent of her.
Yeah but she’s a person and not an AI so it was a conscious choice on her part all the way. When an AI digests literature, it does so unconsciously.

I'm in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.
I would have used the hell out of this in high school for those boring books I don't remember anything about anymore
