Is it just me...

Or is anyone else tired of the trope where the manhwa/manga starts in the middle of a scene, then rewinds like a week before from the beginning? I understand that it's intended to draw people in immediately, but at that point, I want to continue from where it started, and they can provide the required information as needed. I don't want to go backward and have to read 10-20 chapters just to catch up to a scene that may or may not even happen again. If you're going to throw me in the deep end, just leave me there to learn how to swim or drown. I have dropped stories, cause it was taking too long to reach what was teased at the beginning.

    Nah same esp when it starts out with a sex scene out of all things. “How did I get here” we know how u got here hoe, u wanted to fuck. It rly doesn’t warrant a whole ass backstory what happened to “hi hello how are u” fr

    I've got a full ass job and other life shit. My only time to really read BL is before I go to sleep. I don't have time for these games! Not every manhwa needs to be 100+ chapters I remember in Assorted Wildness, it opens with the bottom handing by his feet and being dunked in the ocean, and if I remember correctly, that never happens when the story catches back up. Like, why even bother then?

    Seriously! At that point, I don't care about their mundane life! Maybe give me, like, 2-3 chapters MAX. And I think that's why I love Brothers Without A Tomorrow so much. Their stories aren't unnecessarily long, there's no dragged-out misunderstandings, and they get straight to the point! Also, the art is amazing, of course.

    My biggest problem with this is 9 out of 10 they don't do it right
    Its so catching when the starting scene is NOT the most important point of the story so it kinda gives you a feel of the vibes w/o just spoiling everything in the first panel (and ofc they HAVE to loop back to it at some point bc half of the time the authors dont even bother either)
