There's no way. You mean to tell me people are using context clues instead of just reading the story from the beginning. I could never if the story even slightly doesn't make since I feel like I skipped a chapter
There r different people who prefer to do so, me personally if there's a character, couple or scene I don't like I skip that chap or just skip through it
So, what I do is I read the beginning of the chapter and if it looks like it's superrr embarrassing then, I ask my sister to read out loud the dialogues or go to the last page/next chapter/next next chapter or something and read it from there. If I started a story and it's no longer interesting or pure bullshit, I skip and read the last one or two chapters, lmao:D. Once, I made my sister read 3 or something chapters of BJ Alex because it was giving me second, third, all kinds of embarrassment
A few months ago, I had a weird thing where I needed to read all the chapters even if the story was pure eye rolling shit. Now? I no longer do that, lol. I don't want to waste my time
Guilty, lol. But tbf I read the first few chapters, get bored out of my mind or think it's progressing too slowly. So I skip to chap 10, scroll through, skip to chapter 20, scroll through, etc. I'll skip 5 or 10 chaps. I particularly so this with mnahua since they're so long and drag tf on.
Most times I decided to drop whatever it is, but other times I land on a chap I like and read to the end from there. THEN when I liked the ending I start from the beginning again. This is what happened when I read "the third ending" for the first time. And now it's one of my favourite manhwa lol
I do sometimes... When I get spoiled abt a ml being a big red flag.... And check in months to see where it has gone.... And if it has good ending... Only then I read them from the beginning....
Been there, done that. Mostly bcs of the following reasons:
1. Toxic ML (red flag? black flag? name it) - I don't wanna waste my free time hating on a fictional character. I'd rather cuddle my cats to get my serotonin boost than read the chapters where the ML does something that makes him reach the point of no redemption.
2. Spoilers from the raws (if available) - I skim through them to see if the happenings are interesting or not. If it gets translated later and I already know there's smth I don't like coming up in the next chapters, I'll skip it and come back to read once the good chapters are out. It's like how I close my eyes when traveling by train: when it enters a tunnel, there's nothing to see outside, so I tend to close my eyes. When the train exits the tunnel, I open my eyes again to see the scenery. Hope you get me lol it's for my sanity.

I know a giga chad who used to read from the end (page) to start. Cool Autism but still autism
I've noticed a lot of comments (older and newer ones) on a bunch of different series from people saying that they skipped whole chapters or started on a later chapters and whatnot.
Is this for real???? Are people really out here not reading from beginning to end?
HOW??? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I could never. I don't have the solid balls of steel to go feet first into a random chapter and just chug along from there.
Is this actually a normal or common thing?
Help me I'm about to expire on the spot y'all
