Read often, read across many topics and genres, and read difficult material.
A trap I fell into often was fixating on a sentence or parts of a sentence when reading ahead and backtracking would have gotten me through faster.

read something you like, you will finish it faster.

Don't try to read faster. Try to read better. It's not a goddamn race and retention is more important. It's better to be a mouth reading dope who has to sound out every sentence but remembers it than some retard who reads fast but forgets it a page later.

Don't bother reading faster. You should read with the intent to savor and understand the context. This includes reading slowly and analyzing each piece of text. Sometimes, it means scanning it paragraph by paragraph. There is no one preferred pace. You should enjoy your books like fine wine.

my wife illya is so cute

technically you can increase your reading speed by limiting eye movements and subvocalization but that won't help you engage with the text at all

This entire generation doesn't WANT to savor. They want to FINNISH so they can add shit to their online profile or list. There are the faggots who watch anime at 1.5 speed just to get through it and then binge an entire netflix show in the background while looking at their phone.

Get someone to beat you and insult you and threaten you and intimidate you into trying harder to absorb the information faster and better.
