We don't really know for sure. Shakespeare came from a family in Stratford - upon - Avon. His father had some status in the local area at first but then faced financial difficulties. While there's no clear record of them promoting his writing, they may have been proud of his achievements in the theater world as his works gained popularity. However, we can't say with absolute certainty that they were fully supportive in the way we think of support today.
The simple answer is no. Shakespeare is renowned for his plays such as 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Hamlet' and his sonnets. Novels as we know them today were not the form of his works. His parents were part of the Elizabethan era. While they may have been involved in the cultural aspects of the time, reading his 'novels' was impossible because he didn't write novels. They might have had the experience of watching his plays which were very popular during that period.
We just don't know. There's not enough evidence to determine if Shakespeare's parents read his 'novels'. Back then, access to and interest in such literary works might have been quite different from today.
Shakespeare's success was the result of multiple aspects. His plays covered a wide range of emotions and situations. He could make people laugh with his comedies like 'The Taming of the Shrew' and make them cry with his tragedies like 'King Lear'. He had a gift for observing human behavior and translating it into his works. His plays were also adaptable to different stage settings, which made them easy to perform in various theaters. Additionally, his reputation grew over time as more and more people recognized the value of his plays, and his works became a staple in English literature.

When Murakami published his first novel at 29, his relatively young age brought a fresh perspective. He was not too set in the traditional ways of writing. He could combine his modern experiences and thoughts, like the post - war Japanese society he was living in. His age also meant he was eager to explore new themes and styles, which influenced his later works as he continued to evolve. For example, his use of magical realism might have been bolder at this early stage because of his young and experimental mindset.
