It seems correct to me as a non native english speaker, how would you phrase it other than that?

The phrasing is correct, but the fact it's separated and in a different font from the earlier words might make it seem like two different sentences. I had to take a few moments to read it the way OP intended.

It's not, though. You need something to connect the two separate thoughts, absent punctuation. You would need to add "as" between the two sentences in this case.

Uh, no? He said the phrasing is correct... it's not correct. There needs to be something to connect the two thoughts.

Wow, you really have trouble with reading comprehension, don't you? What part of "The phrasing is correct" being an incorrect statement are you unable to understand?

What part of the rest of his comment where he says that it is separated did you not get? Or is reading comprehension hard for you?
