× I usually read online almost every day because reading materials at my universities uh offered by teachers as digital tools.

✓ I usually read online almost every day because reading materials at my university are offered by teachers as digital tools.

The phrase 'at my universities uh offered' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'at my university' (singular) and the verb 'are' is needed to form the passive voice. Also, 'uh' is an interjection and should be omitted in formal speech.

× I have to read academic papers almost every day through online.

✓ I have to read academic papers almost every day online.

The preposition 'through' is incorrect here. The correct phrase is 'read online' without 'through' because 'online' functions as an adverb describing where the reading happens.

× I think this habit has changed a lot in these.

✓ I think this habit has changed a lot recently.

The phrase 'in these' is incomplete and unclear. It should be replaced with 'recently' or a clearer time expression to complete the sentence meaningfully.

× This is because younger generation are accustomed to reading online and the coming 5 to 10 years they will be adults.

✓ This is because the younger generation is accustomed to reading online and in the coming 5 to 10 years they will be adults.

'Younger generation' is a singular collective noun and requires the singular verb 'is'. Also, 'the' is needed before 'younger generation'. The phrase 'the coming 5 to 10 years' needs the preposition 'in' to indicate time.

× This is because in my childhood I always read manga with my older brother and such contents always help me remember enjoyable and precious time.

✓ This is because in my childhood I always read manga with my older brother and such content always helps me remember enjoyable and precious times.

'Contents' should be singular 'content' when referring to material in general. Also, 'help' should be 'helps' to agree with singular 'content'. 'Time' should be plural 'times' to indicate multiple enjoyable moments.

× I think reading online is a much more efficient in terms of quantity compared to paper books.

✓ I think reading online is much more efficient in terms of quantity compared to paper books.

The article 'a' is unnecessary before 'much more efficient' because 'efficient' is an adjective and 'much more efficient' is a comparative phrase that does not require an article.
