What is suspense? How to set suspense in a novel?

Setting up suspense in a novel could make the story more attractive and arouse the reader's interest and desire to explore. There were many ways to set up suspense, such as: 1. Set a seemingly impossible result to make the reader guess and expect. 2. Create a mysterious or unknown character to make the reader interested in his background and motives. 3. Place the turning point of the plot development on the key or mysterious characters to trigger the reader's speculation and exploration. 4.
