Skip certain posts in loop while retaining pagination

Thanks for the amazing theme!

I’m trying to skip certain posts in the loop, but doing so completely breaks it (less posts show up and the pagination is broken). Any idea what am I doing wrong?

$i = 0;
while ( have_posts() ) :
    the_post();
    if($i<5){
        $i++;
        continue;
    }
    generate_do_template_part( 'index' );
endwhile;
