I think it's less of an unfamiliarity and more of an outdated development practise. Plus, completing the entire page in under 750ms (measured in Firefox) is still faster than some other pages out there (reddit: 4s, HN: 1.2s, etc) I would personally say the website has it's charm, even if it's a bit dated in design.

Oh no, I don't have anything against the website. It worked 100% of the times I tried in less than one second and it responds well to every lighthouse audit for performance except render-blocking tags. Also the books look amazing. But the point was all about the look of the site and the defense was that it should behave like an old-time simple barebones website because it looks like one. This is not true. This website waits to parse a JavaScript file that adds like 5 lines to the bottom of the page. It looks and behaves... unconventionally.
