You can make it much more legible by just curving the parts that are susposed to be curved and not just doing jagged edges everywhere.

Strictly based on where the jagged points are and where the strokes end, I would say the word written was uůẃnwu.

Looks like vùnunww to me.

Also yeah you got it quite well.

It's called writing garlands and is a mess for obvious reasons.

Yeah it makes it look like russian cyrilic cursive. That one actually is supposed to have more letters look that way.

Or the Serbian one.

That is the word for paté. The letters with lines over them sound completely different as well.

Fortunately, my russian teacher wrote "normally", while I had to deal with basically this mess in German, where you only could separate the u from the n and the w from the m by the lines below the u and w.

That's a feature of a very old German hand writing style that hasn't been used much since WWII

Yet, Sütterlin looks different, as it often has vertical and diagonal straight lines where Latin script has round shapes. But likewise, it's difficult to read.

You're ruining the meme

Edit: didn't think I needed this: /s

Cannot ruin a bad faith argument. I can also write chickenscratch and fast but it still looks more legible than that.
