i'm actually so flabbergasted by the people who don't read prologues. my book deadass has a three chapter prologue (which is not the norm but it'll make sense when it makes sense, which is when you read it, which is after i write it) like a cold open montage before a title screen. several things in it are constantly referenced back to throughout the book... but if people aren't reading it because i called it a prologue then what the fuck?? they won't get it. some of the book will be nonsense. it's not really chapter one of the story but it is important to know for the story. it's a lore drop. are these people skipping cold opens and establishing shots in movies too??
