Tired eyes from lots of reading... Now is that staring at paper or staring at a screen?

I do when the scanlators leave personal messages or opinions on the chapter.

i read some of them. i tend to skip the birthday ones, or recruitment ones... certainly if im reading a bunch of chapters in a row i'll skip them until i notice a change on the image.
tl notes i always read, because even if i think i got the point, i might not have understood the meanings entirely.
some groups like starry heaven have like 5 credits pages though, so just because of the annoyance i almost always skip all of them. just pick one lol.

Thats pretty much the only reason I skip them, when groups decide they need more than 4 credit pages....(which I don't think you do, we get the point).

I never read credit pages, in fact I always delete them first thing before I even read the chapter/volume. If I go back to reread a volume/series, I don't want any interruptions between chapters. Translation notes are usually separate from the credits page and I usually read those, but never the actual credits. I guess I could understand keeping/reading them if you're only following a couple dozen series, but not if you're following hundreds of series. I'll keep track of what groups I like that do a good job, and I'll only download certain titles from certain groups, but I don't keep track of each individual member of that group (translator, typesetter, cleaner, etc), so I have no need for a credits page since the group name is usually in the file name or watermarked on the first page of the chapter.

i always read the rantings but the rest ... i skim over the page and read some generic names i'm sure i'll forget seconds later and just go on. when credit or recruiting pages are reoccurring, i read them once and skip them later
