How small are we talking? Because I'm sure people forget a lot of details to stories. You can't remember everything, OP.

I dunno, I just feel disconnected from the story I'm reading sometimes.

Reading comprehension and reading speed are an inverse relationship so you'll have to consider emphasising speed or comprehension and this will depend on the quality and complexity of the text.

Sometimes when I feel disconnected from a text I find it helps to stop reading for a moment and reflect. Try asking yourself questions about what the text is attempting to communicate from time to time and this will help you form a personal connection. Sub-vocalising and reading aloud can also help with reading comprehension.

If you're looking to memorise important sections of text it would be helpful learning a memory technique such as memory journeys or memory palaces to aid with memorisation.

I think that means you're just not very invested in the story.

This.

You're actually talking about a lack of emotion, and it's probably lacking because you have some weird self-aware hangup where you're analysing your speed and comprehension while you're trying to read.
