I don’t relate to other people’s hatred for this backstory. I support whatever direction the author chooses to take; and well, if we lose a lot of readers on that journey, then it’s that reader’s loss. We all need to slow down in life, develop some patience and understanding, and just enjoy the moment. I’m disappointed that majority of the readers are giving the author this hate for their story and characters. Stop reading the story if you are THAT bored. No, we will not tell you when the flashback ends because then you’ll scratch your head when there is a detail in the current time that was covered in the past time AND THEN we would have to fill you in because of your laziness and/or impatience? Absolutely not. YOU do better.
