I don't think so. In the past, reading novels was one of the main forms of entertainment. But now, there are so many other things like movies, video games, and social media. People are more likely to choose these instant and more exciting forms of entertainment rather than spending time on reading novels.
Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag. In some genres, like epic fantasy, stories might be getting longer with more world-building and character development. But in others, like short stories, they remain concise. So, it really varies.
I don't think recent true crime stories are necessarily more violent. While there are some extremely violent cases that get a lot of media attention, in the past there were also very brutal crimes. The difference might be in how quickly and widely the information is spread today.
This question was very complicated and there was no simple answer.
The improvement of writing skills was one aspect. Nowadays, readers and writers had higher expectations for novels. They paid more attention to the plot, characters, theme, and writing style. This meant that the novel needed to better meet the needs of the readers, need to be more detailed in the conception and shaping of the characters, and explore the theme more deeply. This required the author to have higher writing skills and experience.
Changes in social and cultural backgrounds may also affect the creation of novels. The social and cultural background of today was different from that of the past. The needs of different readers were also different. The author needed to better understand the characteristics and values of contemporary society in order to write novels that better met the needs of contemporary readers.
3. The influence of commerce may also be a factor in the decline of the quality of the novel. Modern novels are often controlled by commercial institutions and political forces, which may lead to malicious editing and commercial treatment of some works, thus reducing the quality of novels.
To sum up, there were many reasons why novels were not as good as they used to be.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure which novel's female lead you're referring to is slower than others before her rebirth. Can you provide more context or information so that I can better answer your question?
Yes, it does. The initial release had a rather thin story, but now there are more engaging plotlines, more complex characters, and more meaningful quests that make the story much better.

When Han Li ascended, the human race was extremely powerful. Before Han Li ascended, the human race was already the number one race in the Spirit Realm. Although the human race was relatively powerful among the ordinary races, compared to other races such as the Flying Spirit Race, the Jiao Chi Race, and the Sea King Race, the human race's strength was only on the same level. However, after Han Li ascended, the strength of the human race had greatly increased. His strength was so strong that he could compete with a Mahayana cultivator. Once he entered the Mahayana realm, he was invincible in the same realm and could even kill cultivators of the same level. Han Li's appearance caused the human race's territory to continuously expand, and high-grade cultivators appeared like an oil well. Thus, the human race was extremely powerful when Han Li ascended.

I'd recommend 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Published in 1892, it's a short but powerful story about a woman's descent into madness. It's a great example of early feminist literature.
When Han Li ascended, the human race was invincible. Before he ascended, he had already cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and was already invincible in the human world without the appearance of Soul Formation cultivators. In addition, after Han Li ascended, he took away some cultivators from the top clans, causing the strength of the human race to decrease. Although the battle prowess of the human race wasn't comparable to that of the other great races, Han Li's ascension was enough to ensure the survival of the human race, even if it couldn't guarantee the strength of the human race. As a result, the human race was in an extremely dangerous state when Han Li ascended.
