I don't get it.

how do you make a novel go on without it getting boring?

I honestly think 90% of published novels are terribly written, and most of them use 4th grade techniques such as spamming descriptive words like "When the beautiful sunset came from the nightingale I rose upon my bedsheets."

That is what most novels look like to me which is why I don't bother reading.

I am a published author and I don't know how to write a complete novel that is constantly attention grabbing and high quality. What do people do to keep you reading?

Who says you have to make it "go on"? Your story can be as brief as you want it to be.

synthesize description & concision without sacrificing rhythm.

underplay the emotional aspects - it allows the reader to subconsciously adopt the nuance, project their contribution & relate to the story.

play with ontological metaphor. none of your characters will ever be original. work towards embodying dynamic archetypes, but without becoming too predictable or on-the-nose.
