How to ACTUALLY improve without:

1-Reading books

2-buying membership to do tactics and puzzles

3-studying each game and uploading each game on a complicated analysis board and analyzing each move

is there is anyway to learn the game in a fun way instead of reading a 1000 pages book or analyzing each single game which is so boring or paying the website to do puzzles?

i want a fun way to improve in the game rather than spending hours studying or paying money to do puzzles

Check out grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky's YouTube content. Without him I would not be where I am.

You may not want to hear it, but grandmasters like Daniel Naroditsky and Sam Shankland all recommend longer time controls to improve. Also, you're a plateau player, which only confirms my point.
