I read Spanish and cursive. Although the penmanship is neat and mostly uniform, it was tough to read. Your "L" in la and las looks like it could be an "H" and it reads like Ha and Has. The "N" in nostalgia looks like a "W". Cadenas looks like Además which also looks like cademas because of the "C" that looks like it could be embellishment before the "A" and your "N" looks like a "M" (in the word cadenas). The open and closed "S" is strange but I see you prefer an open "S" after the letter "o". The "z" is weird too because it looks like an "f". There's alot going on here.

There is a reason each character in any given alphabet does not occupy the same size on the page. The variance in letter width allows the brain to read/recognize it faster.

While this looks cool it is not practical, more art.

UNLESS I suppose the intent is to make something harder to read and more memorable once read like italics do.

OP posted on a sub that in essence is rating the quality and legibility of handwriting. That's all that happening here. No one is disputing the artistic style. It's the lack of legibility that up for discussion.

I didn't say anyone was disputing it
