What chapter/scene in a book you love do you skip for one reason or another?
For me it's in book 4 of He Who Fights With Monsters, the blood rider fight scene, it's just embarrassing and skipping it loses nothing to the overall story.

Romance scene in every novel.
Well, as a Wheel of Time fan…
I don’t skip anything, there is no slog.
Scenes that get too bloody/violent
If I were to reread jaws I’d skip the infidelity chapters. They don’t add any value to the story and the sex description was kinda weird.
I typically skip poems and song lyrics that authors stick into their texts.
Also, some authors obsess over the clothes that characters ( typically women) wear, or what the characters are eating , and I glaze over those passages as well.
Romantic scenes, sex scenes, gore I’ll skim over. Sex scenes in particular though, but that’s because I mainly read Stephen King
