Yeah I can definitely see that. I may just be weird. A lot of people in the comments here are talking about not subvocalizing to read faster, and I have never really worked on doing that, but according to the couple possibly unreliable reading speed tests I’ve taken, I read really fast, despite subvocalizing. So perhaps as long as I subvocalize, I can fully absorb the narrative? I also know that I can read slightly faster when I try not to subvocalize, but I’m not very good at it and I would never try to read a novel that way because I feel like THAT would destroy the narrative, at least for me.
