I am currently somewhere in chapter 30, but it took me like 5 hours to get there. is this normal or am I a slow reader?

When I was really behind in the manga, I read about 30-40 chapters a day... I only stopped because I thought I was going overboard. If it takes approximately 5 minutes to read one chapter, it shouldn't take you more than about 2 1/2 hours to read 30 chapters. Maybe, you just spend a lot of your time analysing or you're just distracted? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Normal actually, You can be much faster but thats if you throw away al feeling and act as if your a robot reading words instead of enjoying a story and havin the voices in your head as you read it.

it takes me 7/8/9/10 minutes each chapters.
And yes I am looking at the pictures and imagining the voices.
And I sometimes have problems with the text. I sometimes can't figure out who said what.

I finished it in one day (not to brag).
But take your time because every panel counts to the story and future implications.

That's pretty good imo. I can usually read a maximum of 5-10 chapters a day because I always get engrossed in the art and end up staring at one page for minutes at a time.

Then, I guess that isn't bad. Sometimes I get a bit confused during the action scenes, so I spend a bit of time trying to figure out what's going on. But those are in the chapters when Ishida's art is shit.

As for the text boxes problem, I'm not sure if I can completely solve that. But sometimes, Ishida designs his text boxes so that you'll know what person it belongs to. For example: whenever Yonebayashi speaks, her text box always have these little pony tails at the corner, so I automatically know it's her. Shirazu had a similar design with his text boxes too. Not all characters have this, but it can help if you are able to match the design to the character.

Tokyo Ghoul's chapters are pretty complex. I also think that they're longer than the chapters of other manga.

Yeah doesn't it depend on the amount of pages. Usually a 50 page chapter takes me around 10 minutes. Not sure if that's good or not. And that's because I somewhat "savor" the moment, as in I purposely read a bit slower than normal just to fully digest what's going on.
