I’m from the uk, but since booktok is pretty popular I’ve seen my fair share of book recommendations from American creators.
Ive also seen American vs British cover art comparisons as well. But I can’t help but notice on pretty much all American copies it states it’s a novel? When the British print just says the title only.
I’m a little confused why that needs to be pointed out, do Americans get confused by what’s fact and fiction ? Like why the specifics ?

Americans might confuse it for a gun if it didn’t specify it’s a novel.
Could be because of movie adaptations? But I don’t think Tik Tok represents anything emblematic of anything.
I think it’s so we (Americans) know it’s fiction and not a biography or nonfiction. (Shrug).
I also think part of it may be an affectation to make it look more impressive and legitimate, especially when it’s something like fairy smut.
It’s good to know that you’re not picking up a VHS tape by mistake.
