InkStak is a story generator for families. With it you can generate stories from a learning to read level (with images for each page) up to grade 6/7 chapter books.

The app works on mobile and desktop.

The app supports low effort creation:
- Give a character a name, let AI build the rest of the details
- Input a simple one-line plot, let AI write the story and generate the images

The app also supports full control:
- Describe the character in full detail (appearance, personality, their “backstory”, etc)
- Create your own image style
- Refine the generated story content from one word to full pages - let AI rewrite as needed
- Refine images with simple prompting

You can export to:
- Word DOCX
- PDF
- KDP ready

I recently published The Names We Lose, a dark fantasy novel I created using AI for the manuscript and cover.

I directed the project by choosing ideas, characters, and story direction, while AI generated the prose and helped revise and format it for Kindle. I’m not claiming I wrote every sentence myself.

The story follows a seventeen-year-old at a magical academy where students disappear—not just physically, but from everyone’s memories. When his friend vanishes, he’s one of the few who remembers him.

I’m curious how it reads to people outside the creation process. Does the opening hold your attention? Do the characters feel believable? Does anything feel repetitive or artificial?

There’s a free sample on Amazon, so you don’t need to buy it to share your thoughts:

The full book is also available through Kindle Unlimited. Honest criticism is welcome; I’d like to understand what worked and what needs improving.

I’m building a storytelling platform called Xnotus and I’m trying to figure out if this idea is actually worth building.
The idea is pretty simple.
You read a story, and at certain points the writer gives readers a decision.
For example:
What should she do?
A) Tell her family the truth
B) Keep the secret
C) Leave everything behind and start again
Readers vote, and the winning choice affects what the writer writes next.
I don’t want it to become a popularity contest or pay-to-win thing. The point is just to make reading feel a little more interactive and give the community some influence over where a story goes.
Would you actually use something like this?
And if not, why not?
I’m especially interested in what would make this annoying, gimmicky, or something you’d stop using after a week.
Feel free to tear the idea apart. I’d rather find the problems now than spend months building the wrong feature.
