    I just want to read webnovels peacefully each day, but I'm unable to. My schedule is really busy. I'm a slow reader too, so do you have any helpful tips for me? I mean like I heard that someone read 3000 chapters in like 3 days. I can't even do that in a month!

    By having no life and destroying your internal biological clock. Or you just cram it in your schedule whenever you can read, like travel time and boring meetings.

    You keep no other hobbies or social engagements and procrastinate on everything to eke out quality reading time. And when you hear someone boast of how they managed to go through 3000 chs in three days, you can be sure they have been reading xianxia while liberally skimming.

    You don't have time, you make time. Sacrifice your social life, education and financial stability and you will be able to read it all!~

    I read every single moment I can in situations where reading won't be detrimental (like during conversations or during class). Having it easily available on your phone helps a lot int his situation.

    If you're determined, you'll find a way. Sneak in a chapter or 2 on your short walks or breaks...

    I use TTS app "@VoiceAloudReader" on my android so that I can listen/read novels while doing other stuff. Also Webnovel app has also Audio option (not that great but you can manage sometimes). With this I can listen/read while working, excercising, cooking, gaming and so on.

    Let's see... reading:
    • During public transportation trips
    • In-between gaming sessions
    • During lunch break (while eating said lunch)
    • A couple of chapters before starting dinner
    • Some chapters while trying to fall asleep
    • On lazy Saturday mornings
    • During vacations
    That's pretty much how I organize my reading time. It also helps that I prefer reading a good book/novel than watching TV. :blob_coffee:

    I always read to help me wake up and then to help me settle down for the day before going to sleep. So basically, whenever I’m in bed and relaxing :cookie:

    Try binge reading, you are gonna complete stuff much faster doing so then just reading regularly.
    That and the fact that most of us have been reading novels for so long that most of us are way faster than the average person.

    I barely read anything these days, so I'm at about the same boat as you~

    3000 chapters would easily take me a year, maybe more~

    The teacher could easily throw a pen at me if he/she saw me reading in class.

    *Nods* exactly~
    I've read a lot of things during class too and I never got caught :blobuwu::blobuwu:
    Also reading a few chapters before and after meals, whenever I have spare time, and sacrificing my sleep just for another chapter which usually results into me reading until morning~

    I remember bringing a novel to class back in my middle school days... I always sat in the front row, right in the middle of it... I read it as the teacher started digressing on her explanation because I was really addicted to that book... >.>

    The teacher kinda ignored it, but my classmates ended up calling me out on it and I got embarrassed and put the book down... >.>

    I mean reading it during class (distracts you from learning) or during a conversation (rude if unfamiliar) is detrimental so I don't do it.
