Yes, it's written using complex written grammar and vocabulary, as it's based on a full fledged, somewhat obtusely written novel. (i.e. not a light novel or manga).
There's the question of course of where "well written" simply becomes obfuscation for obfuscation's sake...
But capturing the quirkiness of the dialog is crucial to its humor.
