Most of us who dislike the fact that the flashback is taking too long would've preferred a fee flashback scenes here in there along the way rather than one block that makes you forget the present timeline.
As a fan, I respect the author's creative vision but that doesn't mean that I can't point out what I don't like about it. Does that mean that I want the author to redo this? Of course not, it's their work and no one is special enough to dictate how that goes. But, I will criticize it and day that the story is losing my interest. I get that the author was probably going for "I only show you that there is a complicated past between these three characters and you as the reader have no idea why and you don't get most things and then I reveal to you the past in a block and everything makes sense all of a sudden". It's just not my cup of tea.
