What's the difference between new novels and stream of consciousness?

Your understanding of new novels and stream of consciousness is problematic. The emphasis of the new novel is not to express one's own thoughts, but to banish them. The new novel thinks that the ideological depth in traditional realistic novels is only forced into the works by writers, which is untrue and prefabricated. What the new novels pursue is a representation of the material world without emotion, a neutral and harsh truth, and their novels are as accurate as a mirror without emotion. Stream-of-consciousness novels also oppose the traditional realistic novels, thinking that such novels are not "real", but the method of stream-of-consciousness novels is to turn to the characters' hearts and reflect the consciousness flow of the characters (rather than the writers themselves) in a specific environment. This stream of consciousness is not a conscious monologue of the characters, but a series of almost unconscious free associations, which novelists believe can show people's real experience in front of reality. Therefore, new novels and stream of consciousness are two schools with the same intention and almost opposite means.
