    The novel is a pretty recent Western invention

    Not true. Chinese were printing 1000+ page novels when Euros still thought putting up few rhymes is height of literature.

        Yeah, considering that chinese novels were basically unknown in the west till really XX century and west developed that genre independently, it would be fair.
