Y'all think this level of flashback and angst is bad then you should definitely not read stuff like this bromance I read once where EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER HAS A 30 CHAPTER FLASHBACK WITH SOMEONE OR THE OTHER DYING. The story started as school life slice of life wherein the MC suddenly becomes handsome and by the time it ended WITH IT'S 50 MILLION FLASHBACKS, the story became about gang wars and people still kept reading because they had legit forgotten what the actual story was
