What was the difference between a semi-fictional historical novel and a fictional historical novel?

Historical truth is based on real events and facts that have occurred in the past, while fictional truth is made up and exists only within the realm of imagination and storytelling.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a famous historical novel in China. It is based on historical facts and is fabricated to a certain extent. However, it also has certain historical limitations and fictional nature. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms mainly described the historical events and characters of the Three Kingdoms period in China, reflecting the social reality and political environment of that era. Although there are many fictional plots in the novel, there are also many historical events and characters quoted or mentioned, so the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is considered a novel with high historical value.

The definition and difference between time-travel and fictional historical novels were as follows: A time-travel novel referred to the protagonist traveling to another time and space to experience different historical events and characters to create his own unique life experience and story. Time travel novels often reflect the values and moral values of modern society through the experiences of the protagonist. At the same time, they also explore the theme of time travel and historical evolution. A fictional historical novel was a fictional historical background that created characters and events that were different from real history and presented this historical background through the perspective of the protagonist. The plots of fictional historical novels were often exaggerated and detached from the real historical background, sometimes even subverting traditional historical values. The main purpose of fictional historical novels was to express the author's imagination and creativity, as well as to show a unique historical world. Time travel novels and fictional historical novels were both important forms of modern literature that were loved by readers. However, time-travel novels focused more on the exploration and reflection of real history, while fictional historical novels focused more on the creation and performance of a unique historical world.

Not necessarily. A fictional historical novel usually created a historical background that was different from real history to tell a fictional story. Although these novels may involve some historical characters and events, they are usually independent works of literature rather than historical novels. Historical novels focused on real historical events and narrated them in the form of novels.

There is actually no real difference in meaning. 'An historical novel' was a more traditional way of writing it in the past, but nowadays 'a historical novel' is more commonly used. Both refer to a novel that is set in a historical period and often draws on historical events and figures.

A fictional historical novel was a novel in which the author fabricated a historical background that had nothing to do with real historical events and unfolded the story in this background. This kind of novel often adapted or created historical characters, events, places, etc. to make them different from real history, and sometimes even completely subvert historical facts. The purpose of creating fictional historical novels was to pursue the twists and turns of the plot, conflict, and suspense, as well as the exploration of the character's personality, growth, and destiny. In the Chinese online literature world, historical novels were a very important genre and one of the favorite reading topics for many readers.

An alternate historical novel was a type of fictional historical novel. The author usually constructed a historical world that was different from the real historical background through imagination and fiction. In this historical world, there might be different political systems, cultures, technologies, and characters that were very different from real history. The inspiration for fictional historical novels came from people's understanding and imagination of history, as well as legends, myths, historical events, and characters in modern society. This kind of novel was often used to explore historical, cultural, human, and social topics, while also providing readers with a new reading experience and way of thinking. The common types of fictional historical novels included time travel, science fiction, fantasy, martial arts, and so on. Time travel novels were the most common. The forms of creation of fictional historical novels were also very diverse. They could be traditional long narrative novels, short stories, essays, and so on.

There were no toxic points at the moment. The first female lead was a cute and arrogant socialite rich woman from the same class. The male lead decisively hugged her.

"Deep Sea Ember" Ranking index: Tagged: sci-fi, adventure, Cthulhu myth, steampunk, sailing, doomsday wasteland The sci-fi veteran Platinum Distant Pupil's new work in the Cthulhu Mythical Doomsday Wasteland. Because the world was destroyed by the disaster of the Great Annihilation, the survivors established a new city-state civilization on the islands and arks, which was called the Deep Sea Era. The city-state civilization had returned to the early industrial civilization (steampunk), but humans still faced the threat of various strange existences and needed to fight against various "anomalies" and even "evil gods." The male protagonist coincidentally transformed into Captain Duncan on a ghost ship called the Lost Home and embarked on an adventure. ------ This book could not be said to be a complete counter to science fiction, but it was a unique "big eyeballs style." Ke was the background, sci-fi was embellishment, and the real core was "civilization." A civilization's struggle for salvation, an epic of the era crushing down on mortals. The language of the novel was very humorous, but it was not abrupt, and his personal style was clear. Beep, beep, 123 ------ I tried to read it. The style of writing is average, and the writing is quite smooth. However, the narration feels more like a Western novel. The pace is very slow, and the description is very detailed. It gives me a feeling similar to "The Lord of the Mysteries." Those who are used to online novels will find it too much water or nonsense. There are also long passages that will be more tiring to read, but if you read in, it will be much better after you get used to it. For readers who liked Cthulhu and its strange style, I recommend you to try reading it. ------ Description: On that day, the thick fog sealed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the thick fog and faced a completely overturned and fragmented world. The order of the past was gone, and strange phenomena dominated the endless sea beyond civilization. The isolated city-states and the fleets that challenged the sea had become the only lights left in the civilized world, while the shadows of the past were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour the dying world. However, for the new captain of the Lost Home, there was only one problem that he had to consider first-who knew how to sail the ship? "Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" is an amazing novel. The author used his unique writing style and plot to show the chaotic scene of the cultivation world. The protagonist in the alternate world displayed a different image from the cultivation world, which was refreshing. This novel combined the elements of mortals and the transportation between the two worlds, allowing the readers to feel a different world of cultivation. The protagonist's golden finger, the Celestial Mirror, was a very interesting setting. It allowed him to travel through various small worlds to earn resources, giving readers unlimited imagination. This novel didn't have a messy system or a saintly b * tch. The plot was tight and there weren't too many bad points. Although some of the plot was similar to "Official Residence," it wasn't considered plagiarism. In terms of emotional scenes, it was even better than "Official Residence," In short, this novel was a novel that made people's eyes light up. It was a book about food and grass, and it was worth recommending. "Who told him to cultivate!" Xianxia Le Ziwen didn't have a deep hatred. He had a strong background and was talented. However, the style of the whole team was wrong. It was obviously very serious, but it was serious and funny. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

No, there is no difference in meaning between them. It's just a matter of the article used. The meaning of 'historical novel' remains the same whether you say 'a' or 'an' before it.
