Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is a list of published novels with over 500, 000 words. Currently, the longest novel in the world is Venmurasu, a modern setting of the Hindu epic Mahabharatha, finished in 2020 by Tamil writer Bahuleyan Jeyamohan which has over 2, 300, 000 words.

Detailed explanation-2: -A novella is a standalone piece of fiction that is shorter than a full-length novel but longer than a short story or novelette.

Detailed explanation-3: -Word count. Broadly speaking, a short story is any work of narrative fiction from 1, 000 to 10, 000 words. Novels, by contrast, tend to be around 50, 000 to 70, 000 words, though of course there are plenty of examples of novels that are longer or shorter than those arbitrary guidelines.

Detailed explanation-4: -Subplots are simply secondary storylines, and all forms of story have them. Novels, TV shows, movies, and even video games have secondary stories within the main plot. Remember that your story doesn’t exist in a vacuum: characters are people, and people have multiple things that need their time and attention.
