STOP MAKING ENDNOTES
I DON'T WANT TO STOP MY READING TO TRACK DOWN SOME OBVIOUS DEFINITION JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO CHECK IT'S NOT RELEVANT
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T USE FOOTNOTES SHOULD BE SHOT
REEEEEEEEEEEE

When I was reading Infinite Jest, I used two sticky notes, one for the narrative and one for the endnotes

Sometimes it’s not a definition, sometimes the endnote is explaining something further in the story

It's literally just supposed to be a tennis game between you and the author.

I agree, it's ridiculous. When I was reading pic related I had to go all the way to the back 3 times per stanza, got annoying really fast.
