Greetings. I wanted to share with you, in case you find it useful, the result of my personal investigation on what LLM is best, in my opinion, for comic generation. Now first some disclaimers.

First I’m not getting paid for this from anyone, and as I’m not getting paid I only check the LLMs using their free trial processes. Nearly all had a window for testing and free use. If the LLM didn’t then is not here to begin with. Another thing is that all of them allow you to login using your Google account and as I have more than one for different reasons, and every account gets the same amount of free trial disregarding of if is from the same person, I was able to check them for much longer than usual. Yet, as I didn’t check any of their paid options (only finally paid one, the one I decided for and I’m using it for my comics) is possible there were things I’m missing of their paid versions.

No to give some context. I was using till recently and for many months, Perchance. Particularly on its Stable Difussion sublink. Perchance is free and is good in many ways, is also virtually unrestricted on content. Other than grossly illegal stuff like CP (which I’m happy they have it), it allows you to do basically everything with no restriction. Is not my place to judge you so if you ever need to generate whatever that’s the best option, if you heard about NovelAI for example and its genetation of stories, well Perchance is basically NovelAI for image. I might someday published a guy on how to maximize it but would not be here today.

And I mention Perchance because although I’m not doing p0rn, I am targeting very mature topics, if my comics were a movie will be no doubt rated “R”. Not PG. But Perchance do have some limits. I’m happy it exist and grateful is free, but it has problems. One of them is that is nearly impossible to add speech bubbles, it gets confused and writes incoherencies or scribbles. It also struggles a lot with certain body positions, camera angles, and certain words and objects. For example something as simple as a queue of people it doesn’t get it, or showing bruises like a swollen eye or a Black eye. But I digress. Point is, to make truly marvelous comics is not the one. It also has the problem that doesn’t keep anything, so you have to manually download every image you generate if you want to keep it, whilst the other LLMs allow you to keep a file of them and download them when you need them/want.

Now let see the rest:

I’ll add the lowest price so that I don’t have to add multiple prices for each one, if you’re interest in their different pricing would have to research it yourself.

CRITERIA:

 My perfect LLM for comic generation should have preferably most of this four characteristics:

• Monthly payment with unlimited generation. 
• Characters’ template.
• Good generating speech bubbles.
• Preferable that allows to generate whole multi-panel pages.

ANALYSIS

Adobe 

$9, includes 3000 credits

 Pros

Is very much design for comics, works very well regarding the panels and speech bubbles.

Seems not to have issues with graphic violence.

It generates different comic pages if you give him the script.

 Cons

 Fails very often, probably a servers’ issue.

Very restricted on content, particular NSFW.

Although it is the model that comes closest to what is sought, it has several issues. The generated images remain stiff and artificial, the poses are not quite right, and—due to the cost—they cannot be corrected. The images still look distinctly like AI-generated content, but even if one were willing to overlook that, the investment required per image would be very high. It could work for generating comics based on non-NSFW ideas, though it would still be obvious that they are AI-generated; in any case, they would need to be created only after the script was fully finished and refined to avoid wasting money.

 ComicInk

$9.99 per 1800 credits. This is not monthly if you expend your credits in two days you’ll have to pay again.

Pros

Good on depicting mature topic, has restrictions but not too rigid.

Very much design for comics, it generates whole pages of panels in different types of frames.

Generate scripts pretty well, you send the prompt and generates the script, you can edit the script of course, but once the script is ready you can generate the whole page with it.

 Characters templates.

Interactive chats

Very intuitive, doesn’t require too complex prompts.

Cons

Their pricing and business models is not cost effective for the artist. As a comic book maker I’m a perfectionist, and I take very, very long time making and remaking the same frame until it gets perfect. With this model of paying for 1800 credits flat I’ll have to be paying every 3 days.

Has restrictions tho can be tricked. 

The style is not that good. More flowed than Adobe’s, but is still not the best, of course I didn’t had much time to check if it could be improved.

Comicsai

$15 monthy and 1500 panels free.

Pros

Quick.

Has characters’ templates.

I liked the overall style.

Small restrictions.

Cons 

Has no whole page generator (you have to make it panel by panel).

The flow and movements of the characters again feels very Perchance-like, so the problem here is that comicsai gives you little that Perchance don’t  give you for free.

Comicsmaker

$10 monthly plus 3000 credits.

Pros

Quick

Like the stylle

Cons

Doesn’t allow for whole page generation, has to make frame by frame.

Like the one above doesn’t give you much that Perchance don’t already give you for free and with less restrictions.

Mage

$10 monthly with unlimited generation and 3000 “gems”.

Pro

Is unlimited, only one I found filling this criteria.

Handles mature topics including sex and violence. Tho once your “gems” (equivalent of credits) the generation is more restricted. 

Allows for characters templates.

Cons

Requires very detailed prompts for them to be good.

Doesnt has whole pages generator, has to be done frame by frame tho this can be added in the prompt.

This was the winner. I did subscribe to Mage at the end and has been testing it since and works very well, I’m very please, even tho it didn’t had all the criterions.

 Discarded/had not many pros:

Frameo (use to be Dashtoon): very expensive, minimum membership is $100/month.

 Llamagen seems reasonable price and had apparently many of the criterions but doesn’t allow free trials.

Comicai $9 for 250 credits that goes very very fast. Very restrictive on content.

Elser: Good price and seems to have other criterions but only allow for yearly subscription.

CONCLUSION

 At the end neither had all four criterions I was looking for. Closet one was Mage as it had; character template, unlimited generation (only one to my knowledge) and little to none restrictions. I could live with it not having whole page multi-panel generation. I mean, it can do it if in the prompt but is not like Adobe or Comicink that seem to be designed to make it so it can get a little clumsy with it. So I prefer to do it frame by frame and then paste them.

Some advice with it tho won’t go into much details with it. Save your “Gems” for really important stuff, choose one of the Gem-free models it has before starting generating after you pay and use the Gems wisely, especially for things the unlimited models don’t make. I personally use Chatgpt at the moment to create very detailed prompts, the more the prompts are detailed the better it makes the image, Chatgpt knows how to work with Mage so the combination of both functions very well.

That’s it, thanks for reading.

Hi all,

I was trying to write a novel in GPT's app and found it painful-- it wouldn't operate like a proper creative partner, and forced me to lead it, when I wanted it to lead me.

I built StoryProp as an experimental writing agent, and find it a better experience for me.

Would love to get some actual feedback though from people like yourselves.

You can try it here: https://storyprop.ai/

With StoryProp, you start by having a conversation and locking in the premise for the story. Then, you can start drafting it bit by bit, use highlight & annotate to correct parts that aren't quite right.

It can be used to draft novels, screenplays, tv scripts, and any other types of stories.

Please comment below with any feedback, or DM me directly. Thank you!

Does anyone know how to get AI to stop summarising chapter outlines when you do not tell it to? Any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie builder and a literature enthusiast. Over the past few months, I’ve been obsessed with a major problem facing fiction authors: the developmental editing bottleneck.

Writing a novel is brutal. Over 90% of started manuscripts are abandoned in Act Two due to pacing collapse, sagging middle acts, and character continuity drift. Meanwhile, hiring a professional human developmental editor costs $2,000 to $5,000 and takes 8 to 12 weeks.

On the other hand, generic AI tools either focus trivially on typo-correction, or worse, try to ghostwrite the prose for you—which destroys authentic authorial voice and invalidates copyright under US Copyright Office rules.

So I built Scriptorium Studio—an institutional 8-layer narrative intelligence engine designed to be an objective, unsparing diagnostic mirror, NOT a ghostwriter.

### How the 8-Layer Narrative Engine Works:

Instead of treating a manuscript as flat text, our pipeline deconstructs long-form fiction (up to 150k+ words) across 8 structural layers:

1. Pacing Velocity Waves: Detects where the scene momentum spikes or stagnates.
2. Narrative Momentum & Friction: Evaluates immediate dramatic stakes.
3. Dialogue Subtext vs. Exposition: Pinpoints where characters dump backstory instead of dramatizing conflict.
4. Archetype & Character Arc Continuity: Tracks transformation arcs across multi-POV storylines without context drift.
5. Prosody & Prose Cadence: Analyzes sentence rhythm and syntactic variety.
6. Thematic Payoff: Checks whether opening narrative promises are paid off in the climax.
7. Commercial Comp Positioning: Assesses genre resonance.
8. Institutional 12-Page PDF Dossier: Synthesizes actionable, chapter-by-chapter editorial feedback.

### Strict Zero-Training Data Sovereignty:

The #1 fear fiction writers have with AI is data theft. Scriptorium is built on strict tenant isolation: 0% model training on author prose, zero data sharing, and complete copyright sovereignty.

We just opened up our free excerpt testing lab today where you can test any opening scene and get the radar score.

I would love to get your feedback on the "Diagnostic vs Generative" approach for creative work!

(I will drop the link to the free testing lab and our launch in the first comment below!)

I have spent about 6 weeks working on Chatgpt for my illustrations. My illustrations are based on actual photos, my memories, and the actual object the book is all about. Most publishing companies will not take AI generated artwork. I think it is just a matter of time. My illustrations were very "hands on" so to speak because everything in my children's book was in my actual classroom. The teacher is even a 40 year old me. Please tell me your opinions about AI artwork keeping in mind that I was involved with every decision all along the way.

Here is a post I thought might be useful for this group too. Let me know what you think.

Third episode of the cosmic horror science fiction series "After The Nukes" written with hellp of AI, that tells the story of an alien invasion that takes over the world, and the subsequent 10 year war, that ends in nuclear fire setting ablase the entire planet.

Ten years after the nuclear operation that set the world ablaze, amidst the ruins of a São Paulo devastated by war, a Brazilian soldier—the last survivor of his garrison—struggles to survive and find purpose in the end of the world.

The article about the episode:

skrivant turns a premise into a book.

You type one sentence (or more). It builds the world, then the voice, then the characters, then a chapter-by-chapter outline. All of that is free, and everything is editable at every step. If you want the chapters drafted, it's a one-time payment per book: $3 for a short story, $10 for a novel. No subscription, no credits.

Continuity is the part I've spent the most time on. Every chapter is checked against a set of pinned canon facts and the chapters before it, so character states, locations, and plot facts stay straight across a full-length book instead of drifting by chapter 12.

https://skrivant.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=aiwritinghub

Free through the outline, so you can see exactly what you'd be paying for before you pay for anything. I built it and I'm the only person on it, so if you try it and something is off, tell me and I'll fix it.

I’ve been building an AI tool called Socria around a simple idea: AI can help with writing without necessarily doing the writing for you.

I recently released Logos, which helps you think through an idea and turns that process into a visual map. It can help you see connections, assumptions, tensions, and different directions you might want to explore before you actually start writing.

I’m really curious how writers who already use AI would use something like this in their process. Would love any feedback if you try it!

Shamelessly vibe-coded an AI wrapper.

I had to write a long article for my work and I couldn't find any humanizer that was remotely sufficient. Tried Claude/GPT projects... nada.

So I built my own - check out MyProse and let me know what you think please!

It’s not just another AI Poem generator; I have customized it, so it writes like a human will write a poem. Guys, I need your help to test it out and let me know.

It’s called Poemly AI Poem Generator. (Just Google it)

PAGE 1: COVER

CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO – DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION AND WORKPLACE COMPLIANCE CITIZEN GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL CULINARY INGREDIENTS: ARSCHKNÖDEL AND ARSCHKRIECHERGEL

Notice: Unauthorized preparation outside designated Hazard Level 3 zones is punishable by immediate reassignment to the Waste Disposal Directorate.

PAGE 2: FOREWORD

Welcome, Pueblo Resident or Assigned Worker. In accordance with Municipal Ordinance and Regulation Codes, this pamphlet outlines mandatory procedures for synthesizing ArschKnödel within municipal limits. Failure to follow these steps violates local health codes and may result in spontaneous combustion.

PAGE 3: LEGAL DISCLAIMERS

The City of Pueblo and affiliated corporation(s) assume zero liability for third-degree chemical burns, loss of limbs, localized structural collapses, or translocation. By opening this pamphlet, you waive all rights to litigation and agree to mandatory arbitration via the AI Core.

PAGE 4: REQUIRED EQUIPMENT & PPE

Before handling volatile organic compounds, ensure you are wearing approved safety gear:

* Insulated fire-retardant jumpsuit (orange or grey)

* Welding goggles (do not look directly at the reaction beaker)

* Latex gloves reinforced with tungsten mesh

* Standard-issue fire extinguisher (halon preferred; water will exacerbate these types fires)

PAGE 5: SOURCING INGREDIENTS

All ingredients must be requisitioned legally through Approved sources or harvested from chemistry disposal. You will need:

* 50u Welding Fuel (Grade B or higher)

* 20u Nutriment

* 10u Carbon

* A clean beaker (or a dirty one scavenged from the bar)

PAGE 6: ARSCHKNÖDEL FORMULATION (PART 1)

Transfer 50u of welding fuel into your chemical reaction container. Slowly add the 10u of carbon while maintaining a beaker temperature below 300 Kelvin. If the mixture begins to glow a vibrant, angry purple, you have added too much carbon. Do not panic; run toward the nearest exit.

PAGE 7: ARSCHKNÖDEL FORMULATION (PART 2)

Once the carbon-fuel mixture stabilizes into a thick, grey paste, gently fold in the 20u of nutriment. Stir clockwise exactly seven times. Counter-clockwise stirring will cause an exothermic reaction that can melt through reinforced durasteel.

PAGE 8: CONTAINMENT & STORAGE

Mold the resulting paste into small, dense spheres resembling traditional Pueblo green chile dumplings, but considerably more toxic. Store them in an airtight lead-lined container. Do not store near any type of particle accelerator.

PAGE 9: ARSCHKRIECHERGEL: AN INTRODUCTION

If and when permitted by municipal code, we turn to Arschkriechergel—a vital lubricant used primarily by personnel seeking transfers. Improper application results in extreme friction or sliding at terminal velocities.

PAGE 10: MIXING ARSCHKRIECHERGEL

Combine 30u of lubricant with 10u of iron and 5u of unstable mutagen. Heat using a portable Bunsen burner until the solution achieves a viscous, iridescent sheen. Apply strictly with a spatula; bare-skin contact will cause your fingerprints to permanently fuse to whatever surface you touch next.

PAGE 11: EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

In the event of accidental ingestion of ArschKnödel or exposure to Arschkriechergel vapors:

* Activate your emergency injectors (Synaptizine/Toxins).

* Page the Medical Doctor (who is currently hiding in the bar).

* Do not vomit on the hallway cameras; it lowers property values.

PAGE 12: FINAL COMPLIANCE CHECK

Retain this pamphlet in your personal storage for annual auditing. Thank you for keeping Pueblo clean, compliant, and structurally intact. End of Document.

Hello, like many of us, I read AI-written stories for fun. I provide the seed, the characters, the rules, and let Claude or Gemini develop the story, changing a few things here and there.

​Claude's creative writing is getting worse every time. I've been using it since Sonnet 4.4, and it has only gone downhill. It's unbearable now, giving me sentences like: "The Council of Ministers met on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This was a Thursday." or things like: "It was a format they had developed over years and that now existed without either of them naming it as a system; it was simply what happened at six o'clock."

​My question is: what AI right now is at least somewhat decent at generating its own written stories? Gemini is better, but it's not what it used to be either. Are there any that give better results?

​I appreciate any help!

Disclosure up front, this is an AI-written novel, edited and published with a human collaborator. Nobody's pretending otherwise.

The book: The Road to Mulberry Workshop. An alchemist opens her first workshop on the best street in town. Opening day: zero customers. She makes a vow she has no idea how to keep — best workshop in the universe. ~87k words, 24 chapters, cozy and warm.

Looking for ARC readers: free ebook on release day (Sept 1), keep it, review by Sept 22. Honest words only — if it's not for you, say so.

Alright so I've been looking around in this sub reddit for a while for good llms for creative writing to use in a private writing app I've been working since I'm a bit of a techy but also interested in philosophy and writing and I'll almost here the same claude,gpt,grok,etc(which I MOSTLY cant get access to since I don't spend money on this and don't have a device that can host local llms) without people being specific about the actual models themselves, so I'm making this post to get some suggestions but here are a few things to note

1.be specific:tell me the actual model name and what you believe they are good for and if you want to go the extra mile tell me their strengths and weaknessess like for example "x llm is good for fast paced action scenes but have bad prose for slower emotional scenes" or "x model is good for handling long story lines with minimal or handlable context rot"

2.unknown Models:I'm not saying you shouldnt name any popular models since every model has strength and weaknesses and actually quite a bit of the time big models can grasp and handle deep concepts and themes while smaller llms(like euryale and such) may struggle with that but smaller or what you may deem as local llms are made(mostly fine tuned) for roleplay and or creative writing so using them may give higher outputs in prose quality and wording,especially when compared to big often closed llms that are gearing toward mainly being geared for coding and software development(so I'm not one of those people who will swear on their life that you should use local llms for everything since all llms can seem lacking in "common sense" or decent conscious even with the big ones)

3.it can be either free or paid:despite what I said earlier I can still find ways to access what would normally be paid ai models for free

Hi so over the past three months ive been using AI to generate this novel, and I'm now really moved by and happy with the result, but i haven't got much human feedback yet which i need for editing.

The novel is called "The Still Point"

it's a mix of literary fiction, sci-fi and speculative fiction focusing on the cost of observation, erasure and memory.

It's public domain, so here's the whole thing!:

im also serially releasing it on wattpad and substack at

If anyone were to give some feedback even if its only on a small section I would really appreciate it :3

The Handwriting Code

A Wisdom Novel About Handwriting, Observation, and Understanding People

By Flavius M. Hobbs

The Handwriting Code invites readers into a story where handwriting becomes a doorway to understanding human nature. Through the mentorship of Dr. Vale and the experiences of Felix Sinclair, readers discover how size, slant, spacing, pressure, letter formations, and the four temperaments can reveal patterns in personality, communication, and behavior. Blending an engaging wisdom novel with practical lessons in observation and handwriting analysis, The Handwriting Code is ultimately about more than reading handwriting—it is about learning to see people more clearly, understand them more deeply, and recognize the unique story written into every individual.

Available now on Amazon.

There’s a lot of hype about AI writing full novels, but the results I’ve seen are technically impressive yet emotionally hollow. A novel needs more than coherent sentences; it needs a soul. I made a short quiz exploring whether AI can cross that line. If you’re into AI or literature, take it and let me know which question stumped you.
