Have you guys ever experienced intense bursts of motivation that leads to binge read/watch novels/anime/manga/etc and then just never finish it because it happens to me all the time :')) I literally watched the first 4 and half of season 5 of HXH in less than a week and then couldn't bring myself to finish the rest. Then it happened with Bewitching Prince; I literally read the first 400 chapters in a day and then just stopped :'))
I was procrastinating on learning for my math finals by binge reading a novel and after almost finishing it I stopped cause I reason to my self that I should save some chapters if there's no good novel to read.. I got nothing to read right now and that tab is still open somewhere but I am even procrastinating on reading it.. And yes I still am procrastinating on learning math.. And the finals is like less than 2 weeks away
Stop wasting time and go prepare for your math, reading is good, but you will regret it later if you are not ready
That most often happens to me with stories that overuse life-threatening situations, or other high stress gimmicks. Sure it keeps you reading, because you have to know what happened next, but it eventually makes me burn out on the series. Something will happen that makes me stop reading for a while, and when I try to start again I just don't want to. I think subconsciously I've realized I'll just be giving myself more stress if I read it.
It (losing motivation) usually happens to me just before the start of a new arc or mini arc. I'm really stupid about this because I'll read the chapter leading into the next arc, think "this seems like it will be tedious" and then stop reading. I'll come back in a few days or weeks and the find out literally the next chapter would've subverted my expectations and I should've kept reading.
I've had the bursts of boredom/apathy about a story I was actually enjoying leading me to put it on hold to be mostly forgotten. Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru! (WN) would be a good example of that, I've probably read the first 10-15 chapters 3 or 4 times and then I just lose interest for another year or two. I put Seoul Station’s Necromancer on hold 20 chapters before the finish but I had put it on hold so long ago that I just can't pick it back up without starting it from 10 or 20 chapters farther back to remember what's going on. I've also gotten so absorbed into some stories that I'd not feel tired and stay awake for 20+ hours hardly eating.
I have sudden bursts of motivation when I find a novel/book/manga with an interesting summary. I then enjoy it for about a week and get distracted by other aspects of life. After some time, I would forget what was happening and lose interest. This is why I can't take really long novels unless I am determined to binge it.
I feel that so much T^T ive binge read novels and by the time they get updated again (unless updates are often) ive already forgotten everything
Also more often than not, I’ll laze around the entire day and complain about not having anything to read (despite the fact that my to read list is endless) and then bAM I feel the need to read something at 2 AM
Yup it happens to me too... i was reading and i read it for 2 days than on 3rd the feeling disappeared I still wanna try reading it but whenever i start to read I forget where i was and re-reading just bores me Yup if updates r hecka a long u would forget where u were especially if u reading some short chapters TDG is a case for me
Lol. Your not alone. Currently I have 2 extra tabs open on my tablet in case I continue the books. The first is "a practical guide to evil" book 3 chapter 3, the second "gods are bastards" book 3 prologue. And I like both but just stopped reading.
