Les romans sont des récits fictifs qui explorent des personnages, des événements et des mondes imaginaires. Ils suivent souvent une structure narrative comprenant l'exposition (présentation du cadre et des personnages), l'élément déclencheur (événement initial), le développement (l'intrigue principale), le climax (moment crucial), et la résolution (résolution des conflits). Les romans peuvent se concentrer sur divers genres comme la romance, la science-fiction, le mystère, etc., offrant ainsi une diversité de perspectives et d'émotions. Les auteurs utilisent le langage, la caractérisation et la narration pour captiver les lecteurs et leur offrir une expérience immersive.
