You don't necessarily need compound or complex sentences to be a good writer or prevent choppiness. For example, children's books are written primarily in short, simple sentences. I'd say that this author's writing fits with the kind of short story that they were intending to write. Those are just my thoughts, and if they were writing a more formal, complex piece, I would totally agree with you.

Once time, he came to a casting.

Thank you very much for your corrections. Please tell me what is the difference between one time and once?

Thank you very much for your corrections. Please tell me what is the difference between one time and once?

"Once" I tend to use in the middle of a sentence, talking about how you went/did something one time. Example: "I once went to the fair."
"One time" I generally use at the beginning of sentences, talking about an experience you had. Example: "One time, I saw a bear fight a baby."

This is a short story about a guy who wanted to be a famous person.

Nothing wrong with this but "This is a short story about a guy who wanted to be famous" sounds a bit more natural to me.

Ha had wanted to be a popular since he was born.

Actually, he liked all of the arts, especially acting.

His mother was a talented actress in his hometown.

Therefore, he decided to become an actor.

He thought it was his duty, but there was a small problem.

Unfortunately, he had some problems with hiswas lacking in social skills.

I tried to make it so "problem" didn't repeat.

He was a very quiet boy.

Once he cameHe eventually went to a casting audition.

There wasere a lot of people.

Boys and girlsEveryone hoped to get a role.

'Everyone' sounds better to me personally.

But our hero was afraid of it.

Afraid of what?

The boy tripped and accidentally hit another guy.

'"Leave now!'," the guy shouted with anger, causing the boy to run away.

He was crying when he came home.

He thought it was his dutestiny.

"DUTY" implies his responsibility. Instead, you'd want to use something like "destiny" or "path"

ButHowever, there was a small problem.

"but" cannot be used to start a sentence. Connect it with the previous one, or choose another conjunction

Unfortunately, he had some problems with his social skills.

He was a very quiet boy.

Once he came to a casting.

There wasere a lot of people.

A lot of people were there -> There were a lot of people. The verb is not agreeing with "there", but rather, "they'.

Boys and girls hoped to get a role.

ButNonetheless, our hero was afraid of it.

The boy tripped and accidentally hit another guy.

'"Leave now!'"

, the guy shouted within anger, and the boy ran away.

before an independent clause, the "and" needs to be preceded by a comma

He was crying when he camereturned home.

came is correct, but here I would use "returned"

Great work! This was good but next time try to combine your sentences into compound, complex, or compound-complex sentences. When all of the sentences are simple, it creates a sense of choppiness; there are many connector words and conjunctions that can help your writing flow.
