Those who cast doubts about the implausibly meteoric rise from rags to riches in Writer 406's stories might be interested in the real-life story of Jason Arday.
Alas, his claims are being dismantled one-by-one and now he has resigned his Cambridge University professorship to 'give himself time to heal'.

rage to riches
Well spotted. I've corrected the original and also made a minor rewording change.

I think "rage to riches" is a good description of how some politicians make fortunes.
implausibly meteoric rise from rags to riches in Writer 406's stories
I would very much disagree with the word "implausibly" for his stories. They are about hard work and longtime becoming somewhat rich. Unlike the recent glut of stories of instant billionaires that seem to be more AI than anything else.
Unable to read and write by mid-teens, famous published author a few years later? The timescales are implausibly short. The parallel with Jason Arday's claims seems obvious (apart from his marathon running, charity fundraising, half dozen professorships etc).
I didn't make the original implausible claim.
I realised the stories were heavily AI so there wasn't much point checking fine detail. That didn't stop me enjoying them, just as it didn't stop me enjoying some of Megumi Kashuahara's stories.

To paraphrase Sheldon Cooper: Sociology is no science! 😂
Seriously, the people on the search committee who selected him should be made aware of the existence of internet search engines! Even his resignation letter was supposedly AI-generated 🤭
