For those who would love to get lost in their own world of books. Noville is an independent city builder game where you build your own fantasy land through tracking your reading progress. Customise your profile: Start by naming your world and creating your flag using Noville’s customisable flag shapes and sigils - then start building! Build your own world In Noville there are two kinds of world building items. The first are free and you can use as many of these as you like. The second kind must be earned through reading, for example, it could be a broom shop, a blacksmith's forge, or a haunted house. There are many builder items to choose from and more on the way. Match your next read with a world building item and watch the item materialise as you progress through the book. The more you read the more your world can grow. Earn rewards Earn silver coins by logging your progress every day and these can be used to purchase items so you can watch your world grow even faster - from a village to a town, from a town to a kingdom. Keep it growing or change it up Once you’ve built an item simply place it in your world and double tap to remind yourself which book created which item. If you want to switch things up, simply archive it, you can always bring it back later. Share your progress Send an image of your world with family and friends so they can watch your world grow with you. Share on socials to inspire others to get building by getting reading.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Storied at 100% against Noville's 50%. Storied also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Noville's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
