I agree.
A History would be better then slapping
A Novel all over the place.
Having to be told what I have is a novel feels like the author and/or publisher things we are stupid and cannot tell what is a novel.
If A Novel is needed to we know it's not a non-fiction book, then change the title of the novel so it's not similar to or the same as a non-fiction book if the non-fiction book was written first.
