But could it be better, is the question.
The answer always ought to be yes.

There is only one possible world: the real world.
Cameron Thomas
Yes, Heaven is thine; but this
Is a world of sweets and sours;
Our flowers are merely—flowers,
And the shadow of thy perfect bliss
Is the sunshine of ours.

Leibniz didn't think that human happiness was the only criteria in determining what world is the best possible world, but also things like preserving the simplicity of laws of nature (so that's why he can allow that a falling boulder can crush you and your family and it's still the best possible world)
Voltaire is retarded. Leibniz's view even if it isn't right is at least plausible.
Lucas Thomas
The material world is incapable of being the best possible world. The complexity of this world prevents humans from escaping suffering, and we will be reborn in the Pure Land by the Grace of Jesus Christ.
Jaxson Allen

Voltaire followed Leibniz in Zadig, then rejected his ideas in Candide. It makes no sense mocking him since he defended both positions one after another. If you know Leibniz and read Zadig carefully you'll see that Voltaire actually understood him well enough too.
Btw you cannot judge our world without taking into account its future, so, criticizing Leibniz cannot simply rely on the opinion saying, 'the real world isn't good enough'. Leibniz was perfectly aware of this and addressed this issue in his letters to Bourguet.
