Death novels were novels that described the story between death and humans with the theme of eternal death. This type of novel is often described as a fantasy work in which there is a complicated relationship between humans and death.
Yes, it seems like a relatively new concept. It reflects on the evolving status of the novel in modern times.
Death novels usually referred to novels with the theme of eternal death. They mainly told the adventure story between the protagonist and death.

Reaper novels usually referred to the Japanese manga " Reaper " and the animated works adapted from it. The story tells the story of the eternal life of the Grim Reaper. They were given the ability to live forever, but the price was loneliness and eternal loneliness. In this world, there was a death god called the Silver Spirit Army. In the process of searching for what he had lost, he met humans and started a series of stories.
It could imply that the idea of the novel being dead is itself dying. Maybe it means that the novel, which was once thought to be losing its significance or popularity, is making a comeback.
I'm not sure which specific novel you are referring to. Different novels start with different deaths or may not even start with a death description at all.
There were many novels that told the story of the protagonist transmigrating to the world of the Grim Reaper and becoming the Grim Reaper. Some of the novels might allow the protagonist to learn the skills of the Grim Reaper and become an outstanding Grim Reaper. For example, the main character might transmigrate to the world of " Battle Through the Heavens " to learn soul power management and combat techniques to become a powerful Grim Reaper. There were also some novels where the protagonist would travel to the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light to learn fire magic and combat techniques to become an outstanding Grim Reaper. In short, transmigrating to the world of Death and becoming a Death God was a very popular plot.
A 'death novel' is simply a novel where death plays a significant role. It could be about a murder mystery where the death of a person is what drives the plot forward as the characters try to solve the mystery of who caused the death and why. Or it could be a more philosophical exploration of death, like in Albert Camus' 'The Stranger', where the main character's attitude towards death and his own impending execution is a key part of the novel's examination of the absurdity of life.
Yes, Death Note is originally a manga series, but it has also been adapted into novels.
Well, 'Death of a Salesman' is definitely not a novel. It's a renowned stage play that explores themes of the American Dream and family dynamics.
It depends. In some novels, death can be a powerful plot device if handled well and serves a purpose in the story.
