Probably not.

Not hardly. Josephus mentions him, and there is other documentation of the public record type, some no doubt questionable.

"Was Jesus fictional?"

There is more evidence for Jesus than anyone else in history from that time.

Very few writings of any kind at all secular or otherwise survived from that era. From the decade of the 30's, all that survives is a fragment of an amateur history of Rome by AVelleius Paterculus. From the 40's, are fables written by Phaedrus. And from the 50's and 60's about 1 foot of material survived.
