for real, this all could've been explained in one chapter instead of making a whole arc of it
Multiple arcs repeating the same information over and over again and adding just a couple panels with new information
Overexplaining a story—often called "exposition dumping" or "telling instead of showing"—happens when an author provides unnecessary details the audience can already infer, occurs when an author provides too much background information, world-building, or character history at once. This often slows the pacing and breaks audience immersion, famously referred to as an "info-dump"
Explaining too much rather than letting the story speak for itself, damages reader trust because it spoon-feeds the audience and halts narrative momentum.
Overdone monologues that overexplain story themes are a classic symptom of "clunky exposition". Result in Kills the Pace: Explaining halts the forward momentum of the plot in favor of static exposition.
