Fiction can also be called a "yarn" in a more informal way. Another word could be "fable", especially when it has a moral or lesson. "Myth" can also be considered in the context of fictional stories related to ancient beliefs. And "fantasy" is often used for a type of fiction that involves magic and otherworldly elements.
Some other words for realistic fiction could be contemporary fiction or slice - of - life fiction. Contemporary fiction often focuses on modern - day life and its various aspects, much like realistic fiction. Slice - of - life fiction also depicts ordinary life situations in a realistic way.
Sure. In Portuguese, 'amante da ficção' is a direct translation of 'lover of fiction'. In Japanese, 小説の愛好者 (shousetsu no aikousha) can be used, which literally means 'novel lover' (since novels are a major part of fiction). Different languages may have different nuances in these expressions. For example, the Japanese expression might imply a stronger focus on novels rather than all forms of fiction, while the Portuguese and other Romance language expressions are more general in their reference to fiction.
Naturalistic fiction. It is similar to realistic fiction as it presents a view of life that is based on the idea that nature and the environment play a big role in shaping human character and behavior. For instance, works that show how a person's upbringing in a rural or urban setting affects their life choices can be considered naturalistic and also realistic fiction.
