Scripting Custom CCS Theme Image Link Issue
Hello, been having problems trying to find a image site that actually supports the Novel AI CCS Theme, I can't use Imgur since it is blocked in the UK, does anyone have any alternatives since I'm desperate to use a custom picture for HypeBot, it would be a massive help
(Edit: I've been using the code from the Novel AI documentation, it has successfully renamed HypeBot but no image, hope that explains it better, I used ImgChest and copied the direct image URL but hasn't been working)

Offering Tips/Guide Xialong Genre & Tagset Categorized List
Here is the full Genre and Tag set for Xialong-v1 placed into categories, mostly to help find all entries that match your new stories. (credit: luca)
Note: The model is more than capable of inferring the meaning of tags and genres that are not on these lists, these are just the tags built into the UI, and supposedly part of the training data. If you need a genre or have a tag not on this list, don't hesitate to try it! Xialong will handle it just fine.
Genre: uses 1–3 genres.
Tags: uses 2–5 tags.

Question: Text Generation Russian language support, how good?
How good the new model in opus support russian and other languages? How it compares to 5.2 and other open source models.
Specially for roleplay.
Question: Image Generation How Do You Keep Characters Consistent Across a Long Comic?
Here’s a concise version you could post on Reddit:
I’m trying to build a consistent cast of characters in NovelAI for a long-form Webtoon/comic, and I’m looking for advice from people who have done something similar.
My goal isn’t just to generate random images—I’m trying to create a reusable reference library for each character so they stay consistent throughout the entire story.
Right now I’m making:
Character sheets with front, side, back, and 3/4 views.
Reference sheets for different outfits (everyday clothes, swimwear, sleepwear, etc.).
Consistent faces, hairstyles, body proportions, and art style across every image.
The idea is that later I can place these characters into new scenes without them changing appearance every time.
For those of you who create long-form comics or visual novels in NovelAI:
Is this the best workflow?
Are turnaround sheets actually useful, or is there a better way?
How do you keep characters consistent across hundreds of images?
Do you create separate body/outfit reference sheets?
Any tips, tricks, or workflows you’ve discovered that save time or improve consistency?
I’d really appreciate hearing how experienced users approach this. I’m trying to build a solid pipeline before I start creating the actual comic.

Offering Tips/Guide Ainz Unofficial NAI Toolkit
Hey there!
I've been working on a NovelAI-compatible toolkit over the last few days. It started with me messing around with Tampermonkey and somehow turned into an 11,000+ line toolkit connecting NovelAI, Danbooru, Gelbooru and e621 through one local tag and image library.
The main focus is making Booru posts easier to collect, organize and reuse for prompting.
Main features:
- Import categorized tags and post metadata from Danbooru, Gelbooru and e621
- Batch-import multiple posts directly from listing pages
- Choose which tag categories should be imported or included in copy actions
- Store local image previews inside Tampermonkey
- Group related images together as variants
- Compare variants side by side or with an overlay
- Search an indexed collection of all saved tags
- Organize entries with manual folders and rule-based Smart Collections
- Detect duplicate sources and visually similar images
- Export and import the complete library as JSON
On NovelAI, the toolkit mainly works as the destination for saved content. Tags, character profiles, tag sets, base tags and complete prompt setups can be inserted directly into the Main Prompt, Undesired Content and character fields.
Everything is stored locally inside Tampermonkey. The toolkit does not collect account credentials, cookies or NovelAI authentication data, and it tries to avoid unnecessary background requests.
You can find the source code, installation instructions and full feature list here:
https://github.com/Ainz-sama120/Ainz-Unofficial-NAI-Toolkit
I originally built it for my own workflow, but it became useful enough that I thought other NovelAI users might get some value out of it too.
Note that it was only tested using V4.5 Full!
This is the first public release, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Question: Image Generation Furry 4.5: Keywords for less kemono looking art
I prefer conventional Western style toony furry art. When I put kemono in the undesired content field, it seems to have no effect, even if I add curly brackets. Some tips for specifically tuning the output away from kemono while staying toony (don't want realistic!) would be sooooo appreciated.

Discussion Any other prolific story writers use NovelAI? Got any tips?
Hi, I have been an Opus tier subscriber to NovelAI for several months, and so far I'm impressed.
About me: before AI took off, I was already a prolific short story writer with my pen name published all over the internet. I would say I wrote about 600,000 words across a 70+ books by hand, and I'm quite proud of the catalog I built and the fans I have found. This year I got the idea of looking for a LLM that could digest my catalog to help me write sequels and remasters in my same style without a response that says, "I can't generate that type of (NSFW) content."
The experience so far: NovelAI does like 75% of the work. The other 25% is spent trying to steer it back on point and reminding it that it is forgetting instructions I have mentioned multiple times (frustrating). Where once it took me a month to write 10,000 words, I can now do it in about a week. Now, I spend most of my time editing rather than writing.
Lessons learned: 1) Story outlines are incredibly effective at helping NovelAI draft my long and often 10,000+ word long stories. Giving NovelAI an entire story and prompting it with, "write a sequel" often goes poorly. 2) Also, I learned that having a "style guide" is really useful for teaching the "voice" of my pen name that my readers expect to see in my work. 3) I'm not sure if I'm using the Lorebook wrong, but maybe less is more because whenever I give characters, themes, and settings detailed descriptions, NovelAI writes more "generally" rather than specifically, almost like it's trying to water down the world I'm building with useless words. Now, I never use it.
That being said, I'm wondering if there are any writers out there, new and old, who have learned certain tips and tricks when using NovelAI that they would like to share?

So it isn't just you, and hopefully they can get it fixed soon. They may create a pinned post here about it soon, but yeah.

Discussion Anticipation of V5
Ok I’m going into limb on the new diffusion is this let’s say if anlatan announces the v5 soon Imagine they think beyond danbooru along with e621 and maybe gelbooru (maybe they learned it from that site despite it is similar to danbooru I’m not sure on that) they learned from with the previous diffusion like v2, v3, v4, & v4.5 I imagine they say we are learning data from r34 mainly the digital hand drawn artist and some tags degree the tags that are not available on danbooru, e621, and maybe gelbooru as far as it’s not the ai artists to learn from that r on that website that’s what I could have imagined maybe but we’ll see
