Detective novels are a very popular genre, but the reading rate is not necessarily very high. The specific reasons are as follows: Detective novels often require the reader to have a certain level of logical thinking and reasoning ability, which is difficult for ordinary readers. The plot of detective novels is complicated and often requires a lot of reading time to understand. For some people with fast food culture, it may not be worthwhile to spend a lot of time reading detective novels. Detective novels usually require a lot of emotion and energy from the readers, such as the love for the characters and the speculation of the plot. For some readers with high emotional needs, it may not be very attractive. The publishing and distribution of detective novels are usually relatively low-key and difficult to attract enough attention in the field of popular culture, which is one of the reasons why the reading rate is not high. Therefore, although detective novels have unique charm and advantages, their reading rate may not be as good as other types of novels due to their own characteristics and different reader groups.
