    This is just something that I was wondering about. Im curious about the difference between people about this.

    I read on my tablet and have 3 tabs open for each novel. I can only read 3 novels at a time without any problem. But when i try to add more novels , I get confused at times and sometimes even forget events that i just read about when i switch to a different novel.

    Im currently reading Rebirth of The Legendary Guardian, Very Pure and Ambiguous and Endless Path

    Also does anyone get a strange feeling when they read 100+ chapters of a novel and then switch to another one instatly ?
    For example when I read 130 chapters of Endless Path and then switch to where I left off Legendary Guardian, i had this strange sensation in my head. Its like an "oof" moment for me. If i had to describe it its like the images of characters and places suddenly gets destroyed in "Mr Stark I dont feel so good" style. And then those images get replaced by different ones. It makes my head go numb for a few secs.

    I only get this sort of feeling when I read too many chapters of a single novel. I dont get this feeling when I read a few chapters of each novel and switch rapidly between them.
    So i was wondering if someone has this feeling or something similar to it ?

    I have up to 10 novels I actively read, but mostly it is one main novel I am catching up to or finishing with the rest being ongoing or on the backburner where I read a few chapters a week for them, not several dozen per day

    and yes, thathappens, especially when I immerse myself deeply into a well-written novel. in that case my mind is sometimes more in the world of the novel than in reality, so I don't get what is going on around me or don't care or get surprised

    60+
    in which more or less 10 novels are updated almost daily
    while others updated every week, or two weeks, or a month

    i prefer to read one novel at a time, till the last chapter
    currently reading Are You Addicted?

    after i finished a novel, i immediately change into another novel (that's why the list also keep growing)
    currently i bookmarked those with 10+ chapters novels and waiting for some to be updated till 10 chapters or more

    Up to six a time I guess. And sometimes I switch and I haven't changed the novel I was reading in my mind and it feels funny. Like reading a cultivation novel and then suddenly going to a JP VIRMO fluff story and think they are in the same story altogether and after a line or two it clears up and it's okay but like, it's plain weird sometimes. But fun too.

    I probably read 10-20+ different novels in a day, whichever is updated on that day.

    probably 50+ titles that I read actively.

    If I can't recall it, I skim the earlier chapters.

    but I focus on one when binge reading a title so I could absorb it properly.

    I would mix up some stuff if it's closely similar sometimes...
    but just rarely since I avoid reading cookie cutter stuff as much as possible.

    there are weird times that I would think I read a novel as a manga tho.

    hhh thats sad, i absolutly love to read. Maybe give yourself a few days or weeks pass ? If you dont read , maybe the passion will come back ?
    From Very Pure and Ambiguous : You understand hot and cold, right. If you stay by her side every day, perhaps she wouldn’t realize your importance, once she loses you, she would realize your importance. People are like that, they only want to regain something once they have lost it! That’s why, as long as you understand this, you are a step closer to success!

    I feel like this can apply for the passion of novels aswell

    I currently have 34 novels open however I have bookmarked at least 40 others. If I find one that's at least 400 chapters and ongoing I might read it while I wait for other novels to update. Occasionally I might forget if it's been a while but after reading a bit it comes back to me

    Mine's probably close to 20 or a little over 20. Although I've got hundreds on my RL, a handful of it got dropped by the translator, lots of got dropped by me because I simply didn't like the story, a few that I'm stockpiling chapters so I could read it at 1 sitting since it makes the story much easier to understand.

    I'm seriously just too lazy to organize my rl so it looks like I'm reading a lot but I don't even think I'm still actively reading or interested with 1/4th of it.

    I understand what you mean. Thats why i aim to read novels that are finished or close to be finished. WHen I start reading im too invested to stop.
