Wait, you actually timed yourself with a stopwatch app? That's some next level dedication lol. I get what you mean though, I once read a 700 page fantasy book in like two days cause every chapter ended on some wild twist, but a 300 page romance took me a whole week cause nothing happened until page 280. The boring book made me check my phone every few pages, the big one had me ignoring texts and forgetting to eat. It's wild how a good hook every chapter just makes your brain ignore the page count. That cliffhanger thing is real, even if it's a tiny one, it's like my brain refuses to stop til I know what happens next.
