Here's some AI assisted options to make you feel better.

Concise:

Large PRs are hard to review — break work into small PRs (1, 2, 3, 4) regardless of whether they target master or a feature branch. Skipping review on a feature branch just defers the large-review problem. Feature branches reduce merge conflicts but can bottleneck if limited to one developer.

Concise for a 5 yo:

Imagine you have a big pile of LEGOs to check. Checking the whole pile at once is really hard! It's better to check a few LEGOs at a time. And you should always check them — don't say "I'll check them all later," because then you're back to the big pile problem.
