Rereading or skip to the route

[Phanypack]

So I recently got back into reading VN bc life is hard and this bring me happiness lol <not relevant>. I wonder should I read the common route then to the route I want or just skip to the route. O-O playing riddle joker and I am 3/5 rout completed. Notice that the route seem short comparing to the first time I did it? Am I rushing or is it normal?

[Fiddle]

There is only one answer to this that checks all the right boxes, which happens to be my own superior strategy: play a route, then don't play the game for several years (or however long it takes to remove the common route from your memory), then pick it up again and play it from the beginning.

That is not the approach that I just advocated for, but I'm glad that I somehow led you to reach such a reasonable conclusion.

I used to just blast through the entire VN and all its paths.  Nowadays, I generally only go for the heroines I'm interested in.

Lol idk I just want to play by the best route order. I don’t want the other route spoiling by the main route

i want to play in the best route order or at least the recommended one after my first blind game. but walkthrough says "you can go with any girl you want" most of the time so ill ask randombot (tatsumaki) to help

I don't read anymore

but what I do is to first see if there is a recommended route order and stick to it. If there isn't, I just go to my favorite one first. Never read the common route twice, only the new scenes/variations - pretty much any recent VN has the option to skip only read text.
