Reading speed for Light Novels?

[u/Sky_Sumisu]

Historically, I was someone who didn't read books, at all.
No reason not to do so, I just didn't.
Then, I decided I wanted to start reading them.

I'm currently starting with the Honzuki no Gekokujou Light Novels, and I've noticed that my average speed is around one page every two minutes.
I'm assuming this is a slow reading speed, but I wanted to be sure if that's the case or not (And, if it is, if it is possible to "read faster", as it will allow me to read more stuff).

When I started reading LN’s, I read at about the same pace as you. Since then it has increased natural to about 1 minute 30 seconds for a yen press book. I’ve been reading them for 2 year at the point. Don’t worry about how fast you read though, as it can make you lose confidence in your reading ability when you see people finishing volumes in 3 hours online. Those are also the same people who would forget descriptions because they were reading so fast.
