Narrations and novels were both literary works, but the content and form were different. Narratives were literary works in which the writer conveyed thoughts, emotions, and meanings by describing events, characters, and scenes. Narrations usually leave a realistic, detailed, and emotional impression on the reader. They describe events to show the character and fate of the characters. The main purpose of a narrative was to let the reader understand the background and meaning of events, characters, and scenes through reading the work. A novel was a literary work that used fictional plots as the main means to convey thoughts, emotions, and meanings through the creation of characters, descriptions of scenes, and plot developments. Fictions usually focused more on fiction and imagination to make the reader resonate and think. The main purpose of a novel is to let readers experience emotions and thoughts through reading the work, rather than just understanding the background and meaning of events and scenes. Although narrations and novels are both literary works, narrations pay more attention to the authenticity of events and characters, while novels pay more attention to the fiction and imagination of the plot. At the same time, the forms of novels were also more diverse, including essays, science fiction, historical novels, horror novels, and so on.
