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 ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I hear good things about Arcane! I consider it when I'm in the mood to watch a series, but I'll wait until it's either finished, or has more seasons so I can binge it

    It’s finished, so you can watch it any time now! :D

    It's finished and totally worth it.

I'm looking for a specific one that I apparently did make as "read". It's Yaoi, and the ML will agree to date anyone who asks, with conditions. One of which being that ML can continue to sleep with whoever he wants. MC, of course, asks him out, and shows little concern for these conditions. Long story short, ML wants MC to start acting more jealous and they obviously end up with a happy ending. I'm pretty sure it's complete, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about, can you please link the manga???

Personally, I can't stand them. I used to read them, but now it's an instant "no" from me. This means I haven't been able to continue Wet Sand(/TДT)/ Like, if I'm going after someone who just can't make up their mind between me and someone else, I'm not wasting my time, cause clearly, I'm not worth it to them. But that's just my opinion ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

I know this is a hot take, but I'm genuinely curious if there's anyone else who has the same/similar view as me. So, here it is: I don't care about secondary pairings in BL manga/manhwa. Like, I skip them until the main pairing returns. For me, I'm reading the manga/manwha for the main pairing, so for another couple to be thrust upon me in the middle of some drama, I don't care? I've been reading BL for over a decade and I can only think of two secondary couples that I actually prefer over the main, and those are 19 Days, and Liveta. Otherwise, I skip. I've heard people gush about the secondary couple for BJ Alex, and I did try to read their story, but couldn't. Maybe if I reread a series, I'll delve into the side pairing, but even that is rare. I'm just curious if I'm alone in this?
