i'm having an issue with something i'm reading where i can't easily follow the narrator's thought process- i think the author is assuming that we make the same leaps in logic as they do, and they're writing the narration while skipping the parts that connect details in the plot to what the narrator is thinking. is this a thing? has anyone read something that seemed like this?

#it's a web serial so probably un-beta'd #and i like it a lot but i don't enjoy not knowing why characters are processing the world around them the way they are #thinking of a specific scene where there's a group conversation and then a character talks to the narrator about it and is upset about-#-something i did not pick up on as being relevant; and the POV character picks up on it and responds to the other character smoothly #it feels like too big of a thing to have to reread a chapter about #like there's times when rereading a book and seeing extra details and being able to perceive more about everything is really good #but it feels cumbersome here #i'm not sure how much sense i'm making haha #blast babbles
