What is it?

AI Novel Generator is a writing workspace that runs on your computer. You can write by hand or ask an AI model for candidate content, then review, edit, and save the results. Characters, factions, relationships, story plans, and manuscript text are kept together in one project, with a progress panel that suggests the next step.

Planning proceeds in layers: a story idea becomes worldbuilding and core material, then volumes, arcs, scenes, and chapter plans. Chapter records track changes to characters, relationships, items, and world rules, which helps keep later chapters consistent. A character and faction graph shows relationships and membership.

The application uses MongoDB with transactions, so it requires a replica set. The setup guide covers a Docker-based MongoDB on Windows, and generation requires a model service you configure yourself, which may incur usage charges. Workflows are editable on a canvas, and the interface supports Chinese and English.
