True, it would be better if the flashback was at the beginning of the story, then I think there probably won't be that much complaints about the flashbacks.
Agree
personally, the flashback was my favorite arc. i love brian. rip king
someone told me to read the flashback before the main story, and it really changes how you see the main story. i know a lot of people didnt like the flashback because it was lengthy but it was honestly rly good imo. i think the author made a good choice by giving us so much lore because the flashback gives you so much perspective.
