There are many reasons why computers can't read novels. 1. Web browser restrictions: Some web browser restrictions may restrict the use of a specialized reader or download client to read online novels. 2. Internet connection problems: If the Internet connection is unstable or slow, it may cause the connection to be disconnected or the novel to be stuck. 3. Reader problems: Different readers have different compatibility and stability. If the reader you use cannot connect to the Internet or has other problems, you may not be able to read novels. 4. Source problem: Some novel sources may have copyright problems or network problems that make it impossible to read online. System software problems: If there are problems with the computer system software such as viruses, software conflicts, etc., it may cause problems when reading novels. If the above methods cannot solve the problem, you can try to restart the computer to check the network connection and system software or use other readers to solve the problem. If the problem still exists, it is recommended to contact the computer manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel to solve the problem.
