Chapter after chapter of "he likes me but I think he's fated for the princess and I knew about this event and here's exactly how it works"
Yeah !
sometimes there are comic artists like that, it probably help them to focus on more better thing to draw while satisfying them to put the misc/extra info in the text. the solution is to just skip those narrative. when you only read the drawing and dialogues you will find that the pacing in those are really great.
This is something they teach in comic school. "show don't tell" is one of the most important fundamentals of all visual media, like comics and movies, because if there's too much explaining people will get bored. I don't mind reading but when there's walls of text every two pages or so it gets tiring.
Might just be me but this author really has a problem with overexplaining and putting walls of text on single pages, really starting to understand why "show don't tell" is so important now...
