True, they do great action with that the only problem I sometimes get is that it sometimes comes at the loss of story progression
For example, I was reading one, about some guy leaving a dungeon party because they took him for liberty as he was a jack of all trades and forms a party with his old students
Seems OK but then drags on so I skip a few chapters at a time just see if it gets better, slow progression, skip 5 chapters, still slow progression, another 5, no real resolution against his former party, ok let's skip 10, his former party gets trapped in a dungeon with orcs, the leader and tank guy is eaten alive by them while the one girl there gets raped to death by them.
Sometimes going extreme to make up for slow story progression is REALLY jarring in a bad way.
Yeah, I've noticed that while they will jump right to the action, they will still drag it out regardless. Like unnecessary amount of time focused on what would otherwise be a short bit or even skipped over. If they have a sex scene, it will take up the entire chapter or even more than one. The big fight will go on well past the point of anything interesting happening.
But I suppose at the end of the day, you can always just flip past when its dragging wherein the opposite you can't just invent the scene you wanted to see.
