How much does it cost to create a story?

Generating one arc (7 episodes) costs 4,000 points. The 5,000-point signup bonus is enough to create one story right after signing up. Daily login bonuses (10pt/day, +50pt at 7-day streaks, +500pt at 30-day streaks) keep you topped up.

How often are episodes delivered?

When your story is complete, episode 1 is immediately published and subsequent episodes are delivered daily, one per day. A single arc of 7 episodes wraps up in about one week.

Can I really chat with characters?

Yes, you can chat with any character from any published story via AI. The more you converse, the deeper your intimacy with that character becomes.

Can I listen to episodes as audiobooks?

Yes, every episode supports audio narration. Listen while commuting, doing chores, or whenever you cannot look at a screen.

Are illustrations generated automatically?

Yes, character portraits and scene illustrations are automatically generated by AI to match the story's world and tone.

How do I create a high-quality story?

The free-text description field is the single biggest factor. A description like "Stoic older boss, cheerful new hire — slow-burn office romance with bittersweet rainy evenings" gives the AI a clear creative direction to follow.
