No, to impress the reviewers is not a common reason why writers use puns. The most common reason writers use puns is to create humor or levity. Puns are a form of wordplay that can add wit and amusement to a piece of writing. They can also be used to create a play on words or to add a clever twist to the meaning of a sentence. Additionally, puns can be used to provide source material, such as a word or phrase that can be further developed or expanded upon in a story or poem. However, confusing the reader is typically not the primary goal of using puns.
