Throw the novel in the trash

A way to say that something that’s shit is shit, even if you worked really hard on it.

David: “Hey Gordon, check out this short film I made!”
Gordon: *watches short film*
David: “So what did you think?”
Gordon: “Throw the novel in the trash.”

life is novel

Positive response based on the mishearing of the lyric "Life is a Novel" in the Ensemble Stars!! song Shukufuku no Library (lit. "Library of Blessings") by Valkyrie. The use first arose from certain internet users not realising the phrase featured an article and thus assuming the phrase featured a play on words, with the word "novel" being able to play both the role of a noun (in the sense of book) and that of an adjective (in the sense of new). It is usually preceeded by the word "godbless" (mirroring the song, where the single word is sung before the phrase in question), but is suitable for any kind of conversation.

A: "godbless"
B: "life is novel, just like the hit song shukufuku no library by valkyrie ensemble stars"

P: "WEVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GAY SEX FOR 2HOURS AND 28 MINUTES"
D: "life is novel"

Micro Novel

A piece of writing broken up into chapters that is 5,000-7,500 words total. A short story divided by chapters with a continual story line.

I read a cool book last night, it was a micro novel, so it didn't take long to read.
