Very disappointing so far.
So far this has been the most disappointing ebook creator I have tried and I have not made it to the generate book phase yet. The software itself is disappointing. The create your book from idea has very little input the user can give like pages chapters etc.The book it created was random. Started in the middle of a story and felt like watching a movie trailer rather than a book. What it produced would be an excerpt to lure readers in but even that was terrible. The start from book type option gives a little more control but does not cache/save anything including the outline it generates. So if you don't generate a book immediately you will have to redo the process. Further more the ai got completely confused on a simple fiction attempt and mixed the opening scene which sets the stage, with the rest of the book that follows creating a completely random mixture of a story that did not make sense. Mind you this is after giving it a complete outline of start to finish where in it just had to fill in the details. When I decided to go back to try and redo and un confuse the AI the whole outline and instructions were gone. I have had way better results with other ebook generators when I give them such a detailed outline. I am going to retry in a bit to see if at least I can get to a point where I can get my book published to see the end result. This software as is today needs a lot of work. Not worth the 300 I paid for Tier 3 for sure. I will try to update this review once I have a published book to see how it turns out.
Some pluses though is the unlimited chapter generation and the iOS app which is neat

Sep 5, 2026Thanks for taking the time to write this up; the detail helps.
Two things worth knowing. The quick prompt box treats what you type as the brief and plans its own structure from it, which is why a full plot pasted there came out opening on the hook rather than your setup.
For a story you've already outlined, the guided path (choose the book type, set the chapter count, review the outline before anything is written) is the one to use, and the two 30-chapter outlines you built that way are saved on your account, not lost.
Email [email protected] from your AppSumo address and I'll put them back in front of you to approve, and stay with you until the book is finished. Glad the unlimited chapters and the iOS app are earning their keep; I'd like the rest to as well.
