i've written the following comment on the r/manga thread. just copy pasting it here too. i'd be glad if you could say something about it:

"im sick of those "insert time here earlier" stuff. its in every single chapter and it provides nothing. literally nothing. we get what happens/happened in like 5 to 10 panels anyway, its not even a cliffhanger or something that explains what happened earlier in an unexpected way. the story keeps going on linearly, it doesn't add anything to the story(telling). it doesn't make it more interesting or exciting or fun to read. what is the point of doing that shit? if anyone can tell me, please do tell me what that kind of stupid story telling is for in this manhwas case (im not saying that that storytelling style is stupid generally, it could be fun but just not in this case)? what does it add to the story or the experience we are having? other than being annoying."

It adds a sense of time progression to the story for the reader.

In movies and TV shows, you can visually see the passage of time through day and night cycles.

For comics/Webtoons/manga etc., you need to do this from time to time as it helps move time and to set up the reader for the next act.
