Question

Does it make sense if i say "As readers diverge farther into the novel" ?

Answer 1

No. Perhaps you mean "delve"?

Answer 2

you could use 'dive'

Answer 3

How about "journey" or "progress" maybe?

Answer 4

How about as readers deviate farther, or lure farther?

Answer 5

This is a fragment. you will need to add something at the end of the sentence

Answer 6

@Syed 13, "deviate" will not work here, nor will "lure." A novel might appear to be of one genre (in the way it starts out, for example) and then deviate from those conventions, but a reader cannot deviate into a novel. Likewise, a novel might be so well written that it lures you in, but again a reader cannot lure into the novel.

deviate (v) = to depart from an established course, to depart from usual or accepted standards

lure (v) = to tempt someone to do something or go somewhere, particularly by offering a reward
lure (n) = something that tempts or is used to tempt
