pawn storm without development

how you guys feel about that? sometimes the person castle early and you can advance your pawns without any resistance, like why you need to develop your knight on the other side in that situation?

If you move a lot of pawns and don't develop, you will get in a lot of trouble if your opponent moves correctly, opens up the position, and then attacks your king in the middle of the board.

I find it very annoying if someone pawnstorms me without development, but they usually get punished badly.

I feel this is absolutely fine.

As a matter of fact, you will lose most of the games you have attempted this, since this approach is completely faulty, but losing is the only way to learn what is faulty, and what is not.
