'pleasing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'piece of fiction about blake novel' is the wordplay.
'piece of fiction' becomes 'lie' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'novel' indicates an anagram.
'blake' anagrammed gives 'keabl'.
'lie' placed around 'keabl' is 'LIKEABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
