another word for good stories

Great tales.

An excellent yarn. This is a more informal way to say a good story. For instance, sailors used to tell excellent yarns about their adventures at sea.

Tales.

Well, 'noticed' is another word for'seen'. When it comes to 'novel', 'original' is a great alternative. The word'seen' implies the act of visually perceiving something, and 'noticed' has a similar meaning but might imply a bit more of an awareness. 'Novel' means new and different, and 'original' also gives the sense of being new and not a copy.

For'seen' in writing, 'viewed' could be used. For 'novel' in writing, 'unprecedented' is a good alternative.

Haunting narratives. Ghost stories are often about things that are spooky and haunting, so these words can be used to describe them in a different way. For example, a 'haunting narrative' might imply a story that stays with you long after you've heard it, much like a good ghost story does.

Jokes. Jokes are short and humorous tales or statements that are meant to make people laugh, just like funny stories.

Narration.

Horror tales.

Tales. Tales can be long or short, but when we talk about long stories, 'tales' can also be used. For instance, 'fairy tales' can be quite long when they are fully developed, with complex plots and multiple characters.
