Both novel and fiction are forms of fiction, but there are some differences between them as follows: From the perspective of literary form, novel usually refers to a complete novel with elements such as story plot, character creation, plot development, theme exploration, etc. Fictions, on the other hand, referred to a short story that usually contained one or more stories but did not necessarily have a complete plot structure or literary elements such as character creation. 2. From the perspective of literary genre, novels usually belong to fictional novels, emphasizing the fiction and imagination of the story. Fictions, on the other hand, emphasized the realism and authenticity of the story. Sometimes, it would involve some historical or real-life characters and events. 3. From the readers 'point of view, novel pays more attention to the plot and character creation, allowing the readers to immerse themselves in the story and feel the transmission of emotions and atmosphere. Fictions, on the other hand, focused more on the narration and expression of the story, conveying emotions and thoughts in a more concise and direct way. Therefore, although novel and fiction are both forms of novels, there are some differences in literary form, literary genre, and reader acceptance.
