Many standard LaTeX commands are disabled. This will be surprising at first. But \emph{novel} is focused on one thing only. Anything that might interfere with that purpose may have been tossed aside. So, be sure that you read the documentation! If you take an existing LaTeX document and just change the class to \emph{novel,} it is very unlikely to work as expected.
