The word "novel" in literature functions on two intertwined levels. On one level it designates an extended narrative work that delves deeply into the human condition—Pride and Prejudice is famously labeled a novel ([1]), and discussions of literary form often focus on the special qualities of the novel as a comprehensive art (see [2] and [3]). On another level, "novel" serves as an adjective to describe something strikingly new or original, whether referring to an innovative idea that can be reproduced ([4]) or to fresh observations that challenge traditional forms ([5]). This dual usage, where authors and critics oscillate between celebrating the established narrative genre and emphasizing the breakthroughs in style or thought, enriches our understanding of literature as both a product of its time and an ever-evolving mode of imaginative expression ([6], [7], [8]).
