Short stories, medium-length novels, and full-length novels were usually divided based on the length of the story. Generally speaking, short stories usually do not exceed 2000 words, medium-length stories exceed 2000 words but do not exceed 5000 words, and long novels exceed 5000 words. However, this length division was only a rough division. In fact, the length of the story might vary according to the theme, style, plot, and other factors. In addition to the length of the story, there were other criteria such as the narrative, theme, and character creation. However, these standards were only for reference. The specific division still had to be judged according to the work itself.
Under 50000 words: Usually refers to a novel with less than 50000 words. The plot is relatively simple and mainly tells the story of a character and the climax of the story. Short stories (50000-100000 words): Usually refers to a novel with a word count between 50000 and 100000 words. The plot is relatively complicated, and the story of multiple characters is intertwined. It requires a certain level of narrative skills and organizational structure. Mid-length novel (100000-250000 words): Usually refers to the number of words in the novel between 100000 to 250000 words. The plot is more complicated, and the interactions and relationships between multiple characters, as well as the climax and ending of the plot, require more detailed narration. Long novel (250000+ words): Usually refers to a novel with more than 250000 words. The plot is more grand, involving history, society, culture and many other aspects. It requires a deeper literary foundation and narrative skills.
Short stories, medium-length novels, and full-length novels had different word limits, depending on the type of story and plot.

This kind of novel usually presents the main plot in a concise and clear way, allowing the reader to understand the background, characters, and ending in a very short time. A novella usually has two or more main plots and is limited to a few thousand to a few hundred thousand words. This kind of novel usually had more details and plot descriptions, allowing the reader to understand the characters and the background of the story more deeply. Novellas were also generally considered a more challenging and in-depth genre. Fictions usually had multiple main plots and more complex character relationships, and were limited to hundreds of thousands to millions of words. This kind of novel usually needs more time and more details to describe the main plot, allowing the reader to explore the inner world of the characters more deeply. Long novels were also generally considered a more dramatic and intense genre.
