Listening to novels and reading novels both had their advantages and disadvantages. Reading a novel was a more direct and immediate experience. The reader could see the plot and character development of the novel and be directly immersed in the world of the novel. But reading novels also requires more time and energy because the readers need to concentrate and understand the words in the novel. Listening to novels is a more casual and relaxing way. Through headphones or speakers, readers can enjoy the music and sounds in the novel to relax and relieve stress. However, listening to novels also has certain limitations because the voice and words in the novel complement each other. If the reader can't understand the words in the novel, it may affect the understanding of the story. Therefore, listening to novels and reading novels can be a good way of reading, depending on the reader's personal preferences and needs. If the reader needed a more direct and immediate storyline experience, they could choose to read a novel; if the reader needed a more relaxed and leisure experience, they could choose to listen to a novel.
