How do you actually improve reading speed? I'm getting a lot more proficient now that i've been reading every day, but I'm surprised to find little advice available to increase speed beyond "read more." I'm also not talking about "speed reading" which I think is mostly a scam. I want to sit and enjoy novels but just increase how many novels I have time to enjoy. I'm not looking to learn how to read a novel by staring at the page for a second or whatever the fuck.
I'm thinking of starting a practice of using this site (https://www.spreeder.com/app.php?intro=1)) to read the same novel every day for 20 min or so at a pace beyond my comfort zone. What do you think? Any techniques you've had success with?
thanks frens

it's simply a case of reading more, and after a certain amount of improvement you'll hit a "cap". after that you just have to pick between a relaxed pace of reading or "speed-reading"/skimming, which is a choice between speed and comprehension
