>>50206538most arcs are pretty short, so i wouldn't say that emerald and bw2 aren't worth reading unless you have absolutely 0 spare time. they're just... not good
although i agree that if they didn't include characters from previous parts that i was already attached to, i would skip over them for a re-read
even though i liked bw, i don't remember anything from bw2 other than the bw agency reunion, and I have no motivation to re-read it cause of how bad i remembered the arc was reading it the first time and waiting for chapters to be freshly scanlated
