I skip flashbacks. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Whether that be in manga, manhwa, book, or even fanfic form. If they are short and to the point, I don't mind, but I don't want 20+ chapters of what the characters did in a past life. I'm reading it for what it's advertised as and not some different story set in a different time period. Often times, when I get passed the flashback, I don't even have a hard time following along. It probably doesn't help that I'm usually reading with some sort of time crunch. In my eyes, excessive length flashbacks are just filler to inflate chapter numbers. Now, don't get me wrong, there are the occasional stories that I get fully invested in the flashbacks, like MDZS. Personally, I like to blame my anxiety in needing to know what happens next, only for a wild flashback to appear and stall the resolution. So if anything, any reread I do, I'm more likely to bother reading backstories. Any way, I just feel slightly alone in this mindset ╮(￣▽￣)╭
