No, the distinction is one of length, number of words, and the two are separated by the novella and novelette. There is no possibility of an overlap.

No, a novel and a short story are two distinct forms of fiction writing. A novel is a longer work of fiction that typically has a more complex plot, multiple characters, and a greater depth of detail, while a short story is a shorter work of fiction that focuses on a single plot or idea with fewer characters and less detail.
