Practice. Read things that take less effort for you to read. This could be less narratively complex things, even less jargon/weird names (like in Fantasy).
The less you have to stop and think “wait which character is this?”
“Which year did we jump to?”
“Whose perspective is this?”
“How the fuck do I pronounce [fantasy word/name]?”
The more you can just read undisturbed and get your mind accustomed to doing so. Once you’re more practiced with longer reading sessions you can start including books with more complex aspects and start practicing an over-arching running-comprehension of those themes and aspects while you read without it becoming an obstacle to your reading.
But there’s a realistic limit. No one is meaningfully reading Finnegan’s Wake or A Thousand Plateaus quickly.
