There was no fixed standard for the length of ordinary novels. It usually depended on the content, plot, characters, and theme of the novel. A good ordinary novel should have enough words to tell the story and give the reader enough time and space to understand and feel it. In some novels, especially novels or short stories, the author may compress the plot or add details to increase the word count. This does not mean that the quality of the novel will be affected. The important thing was that the number of words in the novel should be enough to express the story and emotions so that the reader could feel the depth and complexity of the story. Therefore, there was no fixed standard for the length of ordinary novels. It had to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the novel.
