You said the Victorian curriculum is bad but I didn’t realize it was this bad… I have friends who do nothing but play video games and it still only took them a week to finish the sorcerer’s stone…

I think some people do just kinda 'get' reading a lot better than others-

for example, my cousin, no insult to him, started reading Warrior Cats at like 12, which, fair enough, there's murder within the first two pages.

I..uh... picked up Into the Wild (First Warrior Cats book, if you didn't know) at the age of six.

Brandon Sanderson's vocabulary is a lot more advanced than a lot of other books, and some of the concepts are more complex than the more physical and less abstract of minds can fully grasp.

Also, assuming most people on this site have read a bunch of Brandon's books, most of us are the types of people who really 'get' reading, maybe not from a super young age, but at some point, and our expectations, while many of us have probably realized that we're more advanced readers than expected of us (More accurately the ones whose age is generally a way to say there skill level, or those still in elementary or high school) but it is naturally human to compare other's skills to ourselves, not in a bad way, but in teaching something explaining it in the way we learned it, or something along those lines.

All that to say is that we're probably better at reading fiction than the average person, especially if the education wasn't great. After kindergarten (Maybe later, thinking back that far is tough) it was pretty much up to my parents to fully teach me to read. (A lot of education systems teach reading much later, like I think Finland teaches reading much later so the brain is more developed when trying to grasp the more complicated concept of letters and writing conventions, so me reading that early is just because our philosophy was to teach it as fast and as young as possible.
