Usually I'm fine with it if it's a prologue in isekai because they accompany it with some visuals but it's explaining the magic system and weapons like a textbook with diagrams and huge paragraphs where I want visuals and actual demonstrations of what's being explained because I'm not reading a light novel I'm reading a manga. It's like use your medium and sometimes they do this when explaining political drama and even then it's like the situation isn't even that complicated or well thought out so it's not even fun to read through. I also hate it when mangas put a rectangle where they basically just give you the characters name and age as if you will remember the 10 back to back boxes with the characters you've seen once and know zilch about.

I hate when information is unorganically inserted into the story like a character explaining something that should be some mundane it should'nt even be explained like when a character does the equivalent of explaining what a car is and how it works.

it's super immersion breaking I was wondering what everyone else thought of it as well as sharing their most egregious examples of this thing occuring for me it's "The Villainess' Slow Prison Life Began With Her Broken Engagement" with it's pages full of explanation/ descriptions and recently "Tabun Akuyakureijono Hazudeshita Bijou Margaret he Yokoso" with the magic stones
