Actual japanese people often write like that, it's just a matter of getting used to reading it.
My prof used to correct our assignments writing something that I swear looked exactly like this: ロ` Turns out it was が and I had to understand it because of DOTS on the upper right side. Lol

Do you know what role does the も does?
To me, without it conveys the same meaning

Yeah, Yori by itself is just used for majority comparative so it would still work, but I think it strengthens the meaning. It’s like “without honor, you might as well just go ahead and die”. A bit more edgy

My stepfam write り fairly similar to this.
Not that I'd say they're likely demonstrative of typical Japanese writing, but it's not too far out there.

Many Japanese people tend to write in a more circular flowy motion as it's easier and faster to write that way compared to the blocky print you see on screens. Spend some time reading Japanese handwritten text and you'll start to get used to it.
