    Hi all just curious how long you take to read a chapter of a novel,i have seen my friend reading on wuxiaworld where they took less than 1 to 2 second to read 1 line.

    CN novelists r experts in the dao of the filler, so it's suggested to master the dao of the skim 4 faster and better reading experience.:blobtongue:

    depend how, sometimes I jump a paragrahp or two if needed, sometimes I just need to read the first and the last line and still understand without the details, so it's fast only for a not so much detailed chapters...

    It usually take me a good 10 minutes to read 10,000 words (and 6 hours to write them),,,

    I think I do a very decent speed.
    Can usually get through 100 chapters with decent lengths before the day is up.

    If I am binging I can go through most series in a day or two. Some of the longer ones (like horizon etc) take atmost a week for me.

    Depends on if I've read it before or no. If I have, I kinda skim until I reach the parts I like. If I haven't, I read around 500 words a minute.

    takes me a few min to read a chapter. Longer chapters take a few min more... once there is a lot of useless fluff I will begin to skim read and read the chap in under a minute if there is no real substance to a chapter.
    I'm generally a fast reader tho.
    (as a side note, a scientific study will take me 10 times longer per sentence to make sure I understand everything being said, so some studies take me half an hour to read for the content of about a chapter of a web-novel lol)
