A novella is kind of in the middle ground. It's not as brief as a short story but not as extensive as a novel. It usually has enough depth to explore a theme or story in a compact way.
Definitely a novel. '1984' has a substantial narrative, rich character arcs, and explores multiple themes and social issues, which are typical characteristics of a novel rather than a novella.
A novella was a type of literary genre that usually referred to a large-scale novel that told a complete story in between 100 to 1,000,000 words. A novella was usually based on the story of one or more main characters. It was used to describe a complex social environment by telling their experiences and stories. The novella was also one of the most popular literary styles because it could create stories with depth and complexity, while also giving enough time and space to show complex human nature and emotions.
An example of a 5,000-word novella is as follows:
Doomsday Blade

His name was Li Feng, and he was an ordinary university student. Before the apocalypse, he lived an ordinary life and got along well with his girlfriend, living a happy life. But when the apocalypse arrived, everything changed.
His girlfriend was attacked by a monster. Li Feng decided to face this world alone. He began his journey of survival and encountered all kinds of challenges along the way, but he never gave up.

In the end, they found a mysterious treasure that greatly improved their abilities. They had finally found a way out of the apocalypse and regained their lives.
However, they realized that this world was not as beautiful as they had imagined. After the apocalypse, the world became more cruel and cold, and the relationships between people became more complicated and sinister.
Li Feng and Emily learned how to survive in this cruel world and support each other to face the challenges of this world. Their stories tell us that even in the darkest moments, we must not give up hope and face the world bravely to find a way out together.
Childhoods are usually not a novella because it is usually a shorter story with only one main plot, while novelettes usually have more plots and more complicated character relationships.
