  HOW IT WORKS

  Choose from romance, thriller, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, adventure, and more. Set the mood — slow burn, dark and toxic, light and
  fun, or passionate. Add AI-generated characters with rich personalities, or create your own. Then hit "Start Writing" and let
  Vellum craft your first chapter.

  YOUR STORY, YOUR RULES

  After each chapter, Vellum suggests three directions for what happens next. Pick one, or write your own twist. Every choice
  shapes the narrative, making each story uniquely yours. Want to skip the decisions? Just tap "Next Chapter" and let the AI
  surprise you.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2026-03-13*

I think it has good bones, but the fact that you can only make one character and then it has an archetype of only three choices makes it iffy because if you are downloading this app, because you saw the TikTok chats telling you that oh we can make the story between two people of whatever you choose but we can only make one character. I think it can be a good app if it gave more freedom of character choices, and added a backspace button.
