It seems like your attention span doesn’t allow you to build worlds in your mind so you prefer forms of media that basically show you instead of having you use your imagination.

And also, what makes it different, movies and cartoons (most of them fictional) unless you only watch non fictional movies eg documentaries.

Writers who step into their writing is the whole point of enjoying reading because you can have the same premise for a book but if written by different writers with distinct voices and ways of description in their prose, they would become different books. That is very very fun.

(Also this feels like a post by a teenager who is like “omg I have grown up and grown out of reading made up stories I am an adult omg so busy to read.”)
