It depends. In some cases, 40 characters could be fine, especially if they are highly descriptive or crucial to the plot.
Not necessarily. It really depends on the genre and style of your novel. Some novels can manage with fewer characters, while others might need more for a rich narrative.
It's hard to say. 40 characters might be too much if they don't contribute significantly to the story or if they make it overly complex. But if they all have distinct roles and add depth, it could work.

Since the title implies a strong focus on love, the main characters are likely to be the ones involved in this intense love relationship. It could be two star - crossed lovers, like a young man who is poor and a wealthy young woman. Or it could be two friends who discover that their friendship has turned into a love that is 'too much' to handle in a normal way.
