Furthermore,  commercial fiction is made to show an adventure or entertain but usually has one or more common cliches which means it lacks characterization.

Literary fiction on the other hand, is used to explore a concept or used to express a point but in this case, characters are differentiated through characterization. in summary, literary fiction is character driven whereas commercial fiction is plot driven.

Their is also a difference in the book cover of commercial fiction and that of literary fiction.
