HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS IN UR OWN WORDS!!

Explanation:

As everyone says, a graphic novel is a long-form comic, usually with actual plotting as opposed to more random plot development in earlier comics.

Another difference is that the graphics are so important, changing how you read it, and certainly making it more expensive and harder to shelve, that books get classified as "graphic novel" if they have panels, captions, art and inking, even if they're completely non-fiction. Some of Randall Munroe's work is like that: not only is xkcd very much not a novel, but his non-fiction book of popular science "Thing Explainer" is filed as a graphic novel despite being non-fiction and none of the things people expect to find in a novel.

Most importantly, a large proportion of the "graphic novel" bookshelf is taken up by memoirs, sometimes lightly-fictionalised ones. It's easy to see why. They "read" like novels in having character and style, even if the "plot" is constrained by reality. They "read" like novels but "look" like comics, and the cost and shelving difficulty means they go into the established space for graphic novels, rather than try to establish a new space for "graphic non-fiction"

thats exactly the right answer
