I read an analysis of the poem "Afterwards" by Thomas Hardy.
Euphemism is defined as the use of an indirect word or expression as a substitute of the actual word or expression that is either too harsh or blunt when referring to something embarrassing or extremely unpleasant.
Afterwards is used as a euphemism for death. Each stanza refers to the narrator dying in a certain season or time. 1st stanza deals with dying during the month of May and spring time. 2nd Stanza deals with dying on an autumn season. 3rd stanza deals with dying on a summer night. 4th stanza deals with dying on a winter night. 5th stanza deals with the funeral of the person.
Death is a very unpleasant topic to talk about and in the poem, it is being discussed in line with nature and its seasons. The poem uses metaphors and personification to make the subject more relatable to the readers and to enable the readers to appreciate the beauty of death without fearing it.

Answer:
That's because a "romantic novel is based on a relationship between two characters in the story." In other novels such as horrors, comedy, detective, or science fiction they have a different basis and will be about different things. For example a detective novel will be about one person who solves crimes and the adventures he has while solving those crimes.
Hope this helps.
