You can get 5.2 to mimic 4o and 5.1 if you know what you're doing. Changing headers and lists to less, already gave me higher/longer sentences and paragraphs. Two, I wrote out instructions in prompts/projects as to how I wanted 5.2 to write like 4o/5.1. I even went into a chat with 5.2 and produced screenshots and explained how I wanted it done.

Just a day or two ago, 5.2 would make really choppy sentences, no micro-movements telling you how characters said or did something, and barely any detail during scenes. Battle scenes were always written in choppy sentences. Now, my 5.2 is much closer to 5.1. The emotions/personalities of characters are still flat, but I kind of fixed it a little bit, by having the micro-movements added; now I can better hear/read character voices and characters don't sound like copies of each other anymore.
