I kinda dropped off half way in V12 P5 (around the part Roz and Ferdi get married) and decided to wait for the end and then bindge the last novel from scratch.
Although I am part to blame since I did spoil my self about V12 by looking at the artwork via fandom around the end of V11.
I skim through all the pictures first (if the book is drm free like jnovel I unzip it and look through the image folder, else I look through fandom or skim for images).
But regarding the afterword I read those at the end π
