He doesn’t love her half as he pretends.

Is something wrong with that sentence? Why? Because of "half"?

As I know it, the version "He doesn’t love her half as much as he pretends." is more common.

In your version, half has nothing to refer to. – Kate Bunting Jan 07 '22 at 10:21
But also because this use of as is correlative, and requires another as before it. – Colin Fine Jan 07 '22 at 17:58
