As a fan of online novels, I don't have any practical feelings or needs, so I don't have the feeling of " what would happen if I don't read novels?" But I can answer your question about not reading novels. The novel is a carrier of culture. Reading novels can help people broaden their horizons, improve their thinking ability, and cultivate reading habits. If you stop reading novels, you may lose these benefits, but you can also learn from other cultures and enjoy them. Reading novels could improve one's reading ability and vocabulary. Through reading novels, people can understand the personalities, experiences, and fates of different characters and learn to analyze the plot and structure of the story. These abilities were very important for future studies and career development. Reading novels could cultivate the habit of reading. People could get happiness and satisfaction from novels and gradually form an interest and habit in reading. In short, reading novels is a very beneficial activity. Even if you stop reading for a period of time, it will not have a negative impact on your physical and mental health.
