Using the phone to read novels for too long might have a negative effect on the body and eyes. Staring at the screen for a long time will reduce the number of blinks, causing eye fatigue and dryness. Overuse of the phone could also cause tension and soreness in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. In addition, using a phone to read novels might also distract one's attention and cause one to be unable to concentrate on studying or working. Therefore, it is recommended to use the phone in moderation and maintain a good posture and lighting to avoid staring at the screen for a long time.
