Perché è masculine?

Roman is masculine in French because it comes from the Latin "romanus" (meaning Roman/of Rome). While the etymology is correct, the gender assignment in French nouns doesn't directly follow Latin grammatical gender in a simple way. "Roman" (the novel) is masculine in French as a standard noun, but the rule's explanation oversimplifies how French gender assignment works—many Latin masculine nouns became feminine in French, and vice versa. The word is simply masculine by convention in modern French.
