How many chapters before the end? This has gotten so boring and bloated that I just keep reading out of habit rather than interest.
I have this wild new idea that might interest you, it occurred to me just now and I think it could save you a lot of time.
Don't read things you don't like. If that strategy doesn't interest you, you could also read it and move on. That approach doesn't save as much time, but if you successfully avoid posting about how you didn't actually want to read it then you'll still manage to save a bit.
You can have this one for free, no need to thank me.
