Seriously asking. Why is stroke order (sequence of the strokes) very important in chinese handwriting? What will happened if i write it in wrong order? What are the consequences?
P. S. Following this question, are the chinese going to hate me if i write it wrong purposely say it's easier for me to write this way even though it's wrong? The social implications?

I’ve had this issue for the longest time. I try my hardest to write as small as possible, but I just can’t. Over and over again, day after day, I keep writing all chunky and large. It’s so frustrating! (属 is what I’m trying to write)
How can this be improved and are there any mistakes?? I’d appreciate it if anyone has tips on making writing look pretty but also natural (I still have plenty time to practice until I have to write the card, I’m a beginner)
For anyone curious, quote is from Chungking express

1st attempt at copying - ballpoint paper, I just traced the characters through a sheet of paper 2nd attempt at copying - wrote the small part of text myself trying to get the proportions right. I used an ink pen/fountain pen (I can't really tell the difference yet)
I'm starting to get the hang of drawing 口 elements and various dots, it's actually fun
Got confused a little with 雉 and 唯, but it's ok, I looked the stroke order up. The 隹 element was a little unclear in the copybook
