Description

WebNovelAI (https://webnovelai.io/) is an AI-assisted planning and drafting platform built specifically for web novel writers who want more structure than a generic chatbot. Instead of only generating paragraphs on demand, it walks you through a guided, end-to-end workflow—from Story Concept and World Building to Character Design, Plot Structure, Pacing, Outline, Chapter Drafting, and Review/Export—so your story stays consistent as it grows.
A key strength is its “web-serial” orientation: it offers genre templates and style presets tailored to common web novel categories (e.g., LitRPG, progression fantasy), helping you align tone, pacing, and conventions with reader expectations on platforms like Royal Road or Scribble Hub. WebNovelAI also centralizes your story bible—characters, world rules, power systems, and progression arcs—so you can reference them when drafting new chapters, reducing continuity errors and keeping long-running series coherent.
Beyond novel planning, the site also hosts a broader set of creative generators (such as story tools and manga/anime/cartoon generators), making it a multi-tool hub for writers who want to prototype both narrative and visuals in one place.
