Simply put, 'allegedly' means something is claimed or supposed to be true without conclusive proof. So 'allegedly a novel' means it is claimed to be a novel, but there may be some doubts or aspects that make it not a typical or straightforward novel.
The phrase 'allegedly a novel' implies that there is some sort of ambiguity regarding its status as a novel. It could be that the work has elements that are not commonly found in novels, or perhaps its form or content blurs the lines between different literary genres. For instance, it might have a lot of elements of a memoir but is being presented as a novel, or it could use experimental writing techniques that make it hard to classify it as a pure novel.
When we say 'allegedly a novel', it means that on the surface it is presented as a novel, but there are reasons to question this classification. Maybe it contains a large amount of non - fictional content, such as historical facts presented in a fictional framework. Or it could be that the narrative structure is so different from what we expect in a novel, like having no clear protagonist or a meandering plot that doesn't follow the usual novel - like arc. This makes it only 'allegedly' a novel, as it doesn't conform to all the standard characteristics of a novel.
