Genuine novel included continuation (7)
I believe the answer is:
renewal
'continuation' is the definition.
(I know that renewal is a type of repeating)
'genuine novel included' is the wordplay.
'genuine' becomes 'real' (associated in meaning).
'novel' becomes 'new' (synonyms).
'included' is an insertion indicator.
'real' going around 'new' is 'RENEWAL'.
(Other definitions for renewal that I've seen before include "fresh start" , "Action of restoration" , "what happens in a library" , "Regeneration" , "Rehabilitation" .)
