Key word is "without". I'm an avid fiction reader myself from "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" to wuxia novels. Most times, I'm only engaging with the plot with no further reflection on meaning. But sometimes, I find myself doing some "what if" or going back on some ideas and interactions in the books. But that is not my default reading mode for novels. It is for non-fiction and technical books.
