Much like you can save your perks to invest later, can you level up multiple times and never take the increase in magic, health, or stamina?

You would remain as a level 1, but with increased skill levels? How would monsters react (would they remain at level 1 difficulty?)

Is this possible?
Has anyone tried it?
Is there any advantage to it?

If you never choose to level up, yes, it is indeed possible.
We used to have a member on here named Perkless In Skyrim, he played his various characters at level 1, and had a hell of a time doing it. To answer your questions:
It IS possible
People HAVE done it
There are advantages and disadvantages. Enemies won't scale up to the next tier, while your skills will get stronger. Level-based content however will remain locked, such as certain daedric quests. Also, you will have less health and magicka and stamina.

It's a different way to play, and still a fun and viable way.

I haven't tried that yet, and that definitely sounds different enough to be worth trying.

I could see it getting old at some point and wanting to level up... But at that point you might have 5, 10, 20 levels to go through all at once and all the perk points to spend as well. I guess one caveat to it is that you cant train in order to level (or no more than 5 times anyway)

It would be a lot slower gameplay I think, and you wouldn't see it getting dramatically easier all of the sudden when you get good perks

Maybe exploit the restoration potion and do minimal level up to max armor and weapons than blast away? Make killing Falmers, Chaurus Reapers, Dwarven Centurions, and Dragon Priest way easier perhaps. You would still need to use 5-7 perks for alchemy, enchant and smithing however to make it work. Anyone tried this method? Say get just enough levels to craft super potions and gear. It would be fun playing on level 8 with armor 7000 and weapon 2000000 damage.

I started a Breton on expert last night. Has to be level 1 though. I would normally play a restricted run on master for science but I can run it again on master if expert isn't too bad.

Yeah I am thinking of starting an orc or breton for an assassin/mage playthrough to see if I can stay low level and exploit potions for max gear. Would make things way easier and faster. I would just do few main quest than Thieve/Dark brotherhood/Daedra/Mage quests.

It might be cool to only perk out 1 skill and them stop levelling.

My favorite playthrough ever was a character with no gear. The only item equipped was an amulet of Mara

I would perk out alchemy, enchanting, and conjuration to max and stay as low level as possible. Would be fun to make god-like gear and summon minions and one shot Dragon Priests, Falmers and Chaurus Reapers and Centurions.
