Can you give some examples of the opposite of graphic novel?

Sure. A textbook. Textbooks are mainly for educational purposes, presenting facts and knowledge, which is very different from novels that are for entertainment and telling fictional stories.

Sure. An out - of - date encyclopedia. It's not new like a novel book, and it contains factual information rather than fictional stories. It's also not something that is likely to be as engaging as a novel for most readers.

Yes. Documentaries can be considered an example of the opposite of fiction in the audiovisual realm. In the written form, self - help books are non - fiction as they are based on real - life advice and experiences. And then there are journalistic articles that report on real events. For instance, articles in The New York Times that cover current affairs are non - fiction, presenting facts and real - life situations rather than fictional stories.

Yes. Historical accounts are the opposite of fiction. Consider a book about World War II. It details real events, battles, and the people involved. Another example is a documentary - style book about wildlife. It's based on real observations of animals in their natural habitats, not made - up stories like in fiction.

Sure. Real - life documentaries are the opposite. They show real things that happen in the world, not made - up science - fictional stuff.

Yes, for example, 'The Great Gatsby' is not a comic novel. It's a rather serious exploration of themes like wealth, love, and the American Dream. The tone is not humorous but rather melancholic and reflective.

Sure. A historical fiction novel like 'War and Peace' is an example of the opposite of science fiction. It focuses on real historical events and the lives of people during that time. Another example could be a contemporary realistic novel that tells the story of a person's daily struggles in a modern city.

Romance novels can be considered the opposite. They mainly focus on relationships, love, and positive emotions between characters, not on crimes and investigations.

Sure. 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy is an example. It's a complex, long - form novel with deep historical and philosophical themes, unlike light novels which are more for casual reading. The language in 'War and Peace' is elaborate and demands more concentration from the reader.

Sure. Fantasy is an example. Think about 'The Lord of the Rings' with its hobbits, wizards, and magical rings. It's far from the real world of realistic fiction.
