Holy shit was it hard to not get distracted by all the porn & video games I could be engaged in. but now. I think I finally like to read for legit (and not just pretend I read to impress people.)

OP here, I'm actually surprised it was so hard for me to get into reading.

I think it's because I was forcing myself to try to read what other people suggested, when I didn't have an initial interest in the hobby.

But what I did this time was search up a book that had the qualities I am personally interested in, and because the lore/genre/etc were all my favorite things, I felt more invested in the book and was immersed from the start.

Maybe I just have different taste, but reading a book just because it has a good ratings wasn't the best way for me to get into the hobby.

I started to get into web novels first because they were doing genre's I was into (chinese web novel about MMO's, then gradually into a light novel, and now I'm just genuinely interested in fantasy stories.)

I actually spent the past 5 hours reading. I had a lot of bad first-impressions with tons of books that prevented me from getting past the first chapter. I just think it was a streak of bad books or something.

Same here OP. Got back into it at the age of 26. Read a bunch before I finished high school but it was mostly literature at the Harry Potter level. Once I started college I just quit because I was sick and tired of reading all day just for my classes. Now that I'm reading again, I find myself enjoying the classics greatly.
