좋아하는 is a verb turned into a noun modifier.

• 좋아하다 = to like
• 좋아하는 작가 = the writer that I like / my favorite writer

In Korean, verbs often go directly before a noun to describe it.

So:

• 내가 좋아하는 작가 = the writer I like

This is very natural Korean word order, even though in English we often need a relative clause like the writer that I like.

Here 내가 marks I as the subject of the clause 좋아하는.

• 내가 좋아하는 작가 = the writer that I like

Using 가 here helps identify who is doing the liking. It is not the main subject of the whole sentence; it is the subject of the embedded descriptive clause.

If you changed it to 나는, it could sound more contrastive, like as for me, the writer I like..., which is usually not the basic neutral choice here.

의 marks possession or a relationship similar to English of or apostrophe-s.

• 작가 = writer
• 작가의 새 소설 = the writer’s new novel

So the phrase means:

• 내가 좋아하는 작가의 새 소설 = the new novel by the writer I like

In everyday Korean, 의 is sometimes omitted in casual speech when the meaning is clear, but here using 의 is perfectly natural and clear.

Both 새 and 새로운 mean new, but they are used a little differently.

• 새 is a shortened determiner-like form used directly before nouns.
• 새로운 is a full descriptive form.

So:

• 새 소설 = new novel
• 새로운 소설 = also new novel

In many everyday cases, 새 + noun sounds very natural and concise. Here 새 소설 is the most straightforward choice.

This is a very common Korean pattern.

• 소설은 marks the topic
• 줄거리가 marks the subject of the following descriptive part

So the structure is roughly:

• As for the new novel by the writer I like, the plot is easy...

Then the rest continues from there.

More literally:

• 내가 좋아하는 작가의 새 소설은 = As for the new novel by the writer I like,
• 줄거리가 쉬워서 = because its plot is easy,
• 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있어 = readers can read it easily

This topic-plus-subject structure is very normal in Korean.

Because 줄거리 is the subject of 쉬워서.

• 쉽다 = to be easy
• What is easy? The plot

So Korean uses 가/이, not 를/을:

• 줄거리가 쉽다 = the plot is easy

If you used 줄거리를, it would wrongly mark plot as an object, but 쉽다 does not take a direct object here.

Here -어서 means because or so.

• 쉽다 → 쉬워서
• 줄거리가 쉬워서 = because the plot is easy

It connects the reason to the result:

• because the plot is easy, readers can read it easily

So this sentence expresses cause and result.

쉽게 is the adverb form of 쉽다.

• 쉽다 = easy
• 쉽게 = easily

So:

• 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있어 = readers can read it easily

A very common pattern is:

• adjective stem + 게 → adverb

Examples:

• 빠르다 → 빠르게 = quickly
• 조용하다 → 조용하게 = quietly

-을/ㄹ 수 있다 means can / be able to.

So:

• 읽다 = to read
• 읽을 수 있다 = can read / be able to read
• 읽을 수 있어 = can read / can read it

Here it means:

• 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있어 = readers can read it easily

Notice that the object of 읽다 is not stated. Korean often omits it when it is obvious. Here the omitted object is the novel.

들 marks plural on people or other nouns when the speaker wants to make plurality explicit.

• 독자 = reader
• 독자들 = readers
• 독자들이 = readers + subject marker

So:

• 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있어 = readers can read it easily

In Korean, plural marking is often optional when the context already makes it clear. But here 독자들 emphasizes that we mean readers in general, not just one reader.

This is about speech level.

• 있어 = casual/informal
• 있어요 = polite everyday style
• 있습니다 = formal style

So the sentence as written is in a casual plain conversational style. It would be natural between friends, in notes, or in less formal explanation.

You could also say:

• 내가 좋아하는 작가의 새 소설은 줄거리가 쉬워서 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있어요.
• 내가 좋아하는 작가의 새 소설은 줄거리가 쉬워서 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있습니다.

The meaning stays basically the same; only the level of politeness changes.

Not really. Korean organizes the information differently.

A more word-for-word breakdown is:

• 내가 좋아하는 = that I like
• 작가의 = writer’s
• 새 소설은 = new novel, as for it
• 줄거리가 = the plot
• 쉬워서 = because is easy
• 독자들이 = readers
• 쉽게 = easily
• 읽을 수 있어 = can read

A natural English translation is something like:

• The new novel by the writer I like has an easy plot, so readers can read it easily.

So the Korean sentence is not using English-style word order, but each part fits normal Korean grammar very well.

Yes, very possibly.

Literally, 줄거리가 쉬워서 means because the plot is easy/simple. Depending on context, that can suggest:

• the story is easy to follow
• the content is easy to understand
• the novel is accessible to readers

So even though 읽을 수 있어 literally says can read, the overall idea may be broader than just physically reading the words. It often implies that the novel is easy for readers to get through and understand.
