For a year now I've paying a lot more attention on how stories are told, be it through words or visuals. As a consequence, I am now susceptible to what could be termed cheap writing tricks. Such as, using exposition rather than actually taking the effort of narratively conveying a story, which rather diminishes the enjoyment. Being given only the crux of the plot without actually experiencing it, is on par with reading a Wikipedia summary page of a movie or a anime. Of course, not all exposition is in poor taste, it can be concealed by emotion or certain genre particularities. If a character has a gun aimed at their head, them breaking down and telling a secret feels gratifying. Alternatively, detective stories and heists are expected to have exposition, which lowers the guard for it.

Are others afflicted from the analytical thinking, encroaching on viewing of art?
