a big YES from me
it disturbs me that so many say no

if you get bored with the plot or the dialogue get horrible is it not better to just drop it?

even when i reread something i read EVERYTHING if there is so much boring parts in it that you feel you could just skip parts of it...why would you even want to reread it?

I read everything, because I only read manga that interest me.

The second it bores me, I drop it. 😐

I don't skim things because I'm not forced to read things. If I'm reading something for an assignment, I may skim through the text, but if I'm reading to enjoy myself, then I'll read every word, and if I find myself bored, or annoyed, or not liking what I'm reading, then I usually just won't continue. Why would I bother with something that I don't like?

When I read a story for the first time I read every word. There's also the case of rereading, that's when I sometimes skip the borring parts.

I skip and skim.

Books, I read every word all the time; Manga, most of the time. Unless I'm rereading it. In which case, I skip to my favorite parts half the time and read world-for-word the other half.

Quote from mewnbrite

When I start to get bored and just want to move along, I'll speed read until I see a part I need to read. I do this for manga and textbooks but not when reading novels, since I like to absorb everything then.

Ditto.

Sometimes a chapter is ultra boring, and seems to only have stupid text... in the middle of the battle (Kurosaki-kun), (I have to blah, blah blah...) Text Books add a lot of nonsense that could be resumed, but text books writers are paid by content and by line... or something like that.

Novels for the most part are a different history.

Yes, I do. If I have a desire to skip something, I drop the book/manga altogether. If I'm not liking it, there is no need to read it.

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

I read everything, pretty much. I admit to occasionally skimming over the recap at the beginning of the chapter....and if I'm rereading a book I often read only my favorite parts. I don't often reread Deerskin all the way through, for example.....because the end of the first half is painful. >.< But no, I don't skip. If I'm reading it, I'm reading it.

They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"

I don't skip, I skim. So I don't take too much time to read everything, but I still understand what's going on. I'm doing that with OP at the mo, because I have a lot to catch up with and I just don't have the time to read everything word for word.

Usually though, I read everything. Especially if I'm enjoying it. But I'm def. guilty of skimming chunks of text.

If you were to apply this question to books however, then every single word is read without a doubt. I can't be skimming otherwise I won't understand what's going on. At least with manga you have pictures to help you see what's happening 🤣

I read everything in a manga.
When I'm reading a series and they are retelling stuff from the previous book I skip it

No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

depends on how interesting whatever I'm reading is. If I like it I read word for word, if not skimming is the way to go.

Yes. If I skip something, I come back to it later. If there's a lot of text, I pause, prepare myself, and begin reading.

For me, I have problem with rembering Japanese (korean and Chinese) names, So I often skip them and remeber som litle thing, for example Tanaka, I proboly see it mroe like Name starts with T many A's and a K in there and I would proboly never once during an entire 150 chapter manga read out the name Tanaka in my head.
