Text-based novels are literary works that primarily consist of written words, focusing on storytelling through prose. They can be found in various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, and mystery. These novels engage readers by allowing them to imagine characters, settings, and events based solely on the author's descriptions. Unlike graphic novels or illustrated books, text-based novels rely entirely on text to convey their narratives. This format encourages readers to use their imagination and interpret the story in their own way. Popular examples include classic works like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and modern bestsellers like The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
