less so over time, i think it just kinda gets ridiculous because i don’t have any relevant physical experience to draw from

I’ve never skipped over a scene in anything i’ve read. Foreign concept

I've recently started skipping fight scenes even in movies. Granted that might have been because I watched the three Pirates of the Carribean movies back to back and there's only so much senseless swashbuckling and Errol Flynning I can take, but I prefer a short, violent attack.

I don't want endless arm waving and meat whacking Foley sounds. I'd prefer a guy to walk into a wire grenade trap and a 30 second extremely violent gun battle to start that kills half of the cast. Fight scenes are devalued by overexposure and being watered down to meaninglessness

In lots of books, combat scenes deliver no suspense or information - the words are just window dressing for "events that lead to the good guys winning at the end of the scene and then we get back to the plot". If it's well-written enough I might read it anyway, but many aren't.

Looks like a lot of your followers would really not like Honor Harrington novels.
