Feature Overview
Dai Novel helps you build a world with your own characters, places, rules, and story paths, then use it for interactive play or AI-assisted writing.
Dai Novel is a world model, a story graph, and an AI runtime that uses both.
Unified Codex
The World Editor stores premise, lore, rules, entities, properties, relations, phases, maps, images, and presentation as connected data. World information stays editable and reusable instead of disappearing into one long prompt.
See World Editor.
World simulation
The world exists before the first choice. History, rules, inhabitants, loyalties, places, and unresolved pressure are already in the Codex when a player arrives. Play then updates selected world state rather than inventing a new setting each turn.
See World Simulation.
Phase Graph
Creators visually define a shared story path or a branch for a Main Character. Each phase describes a narrative state and links to possible next phases. Ending nodes conclude the journey.
See World Phases and Shape the Story Direction.
Play runtime
Players choose a viewpoint character, write an action or pick a choice, and receive the next illustrated scene. The runtime grounds generation in current state, character knowledge, memory, map positions, and phase boundaries.
See Play Runtime.
Long-term memory
Working, Episodic, and World memory carry important events, promises, emotional moments, and durable truths across the journey.
Visual continuity
Scene illustrations can reuse entity artwork, world style, current prose, and previous-scene references. The goal is a visual canon, not a random image every turn.
See Visual Continuity.
Creator-guided AI
World Helper, Premise Architect, and Phase Architect draft against the Codex. They show proposed edits for review before you apply them.
See World Helper.
AI-assisted story writing (Beta)
The Write workspace can turn a saved world into a short story or a longer, phase-based story. It can prepare outlines, draft chapters, review them, and revise them.
Beta: This feature is still being tested. Controls and generated results may change, so review every outline and chapter before sharing or publishing it.
Publishing and growth
Publishing creates versioned builds. Public worlds can use categories, custom URLs, presentation pages, comments, favorites, and discovery. Public Data builds can be cloned by other creators. Creator income is coming soon.
