How can I get into reading novels?

So I really love comics, manwha's/managa's, online novels and fanfic's. But last year I got a physical book to read on the plane when travelling or in the mornings so I could be more present and off my devices more, but really struggled to do it and still haven't finished that book (only got like 2 chapters left).For I long time I've always wanted to get into reading to help myself stay offline and calm my mind, because I tend to have a busy brain that never seems to shut down. So I was wondering if I can get some tips or recommendations on how to read more or maybe what I can do better to maybe find a book that I can finish/is easy to read.

*** If it helps I really love stories about romance(straight or queer fine), villainess, fantasy, mystery,

*** And I think another thing I struggle with is remember who is who, because I struggle to remember names but can remember faces.
