1. Starting an Adventure

How do I create my first story?

Creating a story is easy: go to the Wizard on the home page and enter a hero's name, age, and type (girl, boy, magical or imaginary creature). Add a companion if you wish (you can find them in your other stories as they are saved). Then follow the Wizard to the end, specifying the location of the story (you can invent your own places), the narrator's voice, the challenge, and the value to be learned. Then, start the creation and wait a moment.

Where can I find the tales I've already created?

Simply click on your avatar and then on "My Stories."

Can I edit a story after it's been created?

Yes, from your "My Stories" dashboard, first select the hero, then click on the associated story you want to modify. This will open the story editor.

Why can't I see my story in the gallery?

Make sure you haven't clicked on "Private Story." You can change this setting in the story editor.

2. Characters and Companions

How do I add a companion to the adventure?

In the Wizard, during the story creation process, click the "Add" button next to companions.

Will the companion appear in the illustrations?

Not systematically, but you can generate your own illustrations and mention the companion you want to see at that time.

3. Evolving the Narrative (Sequels)

How do I create a relevant sequel?

To create a relevant sequel, stay true to the universe and characters already introduced. Evolve the plot by adding a new challenge or resolving the current problem. Feel free to use the "Hero's Journey" narrative structure. You can also have the quality of your tale evaluated via the story editor by clicking the "Evaluate" button. If all the major principles of the hero's story are respected, the tale will receive the "Perfect Story" badge.

Why is the "Create a Sequel" button locked, greyed out, or invisible?

The creator of the original story does not allow sequels to be added to this tale. If you are the creator of the story, you can change this status from the story update page:

4. Audio, Images, and Sharing

How do I listen to my story (audio version)?

On the story page (not the story editor), simply click the audio play button. To update the story's audio, go to the story editor and click "Generate" under Voice Narration.

Why doesn't my chapter image appear immediately?

It takes a little time to generate an image, so please be patient.

How do I download or print a tale?

On the story display page, click the PDF button.

On Nimori, writing a well-constructed story is rewarded. To help you structure your narrative, we rely on the famous "Hero's Journey" method. If your story follows this framework, you earn credits!

1. The 8 Stages of the Adventure

To achieve Perfect Tale status, your story must take the hero through these 8 key stages:

1. The Ordinary World: The hero's normal life (for relatability).
2. The Call to Adventure: A problem arises or a mission is presented.
3. Doubt: The hero hesitates, fearing they won't succeed.
4. The Guide: Someone (or a magical object) comes to help and reassure them.
5. The Trials: The hero faces several obstacles and learns from their mistakes.
6. The Difficult Moment: The greatest challenge, where all seems lost.
7. Success: Through their efforts, the hero triumphs.
8. The Transformed Return: They return home, grown and more courageous.

2. How to validate your tale and earn credits?

Once your story is written, use the "Check if my tale is perfect" button in the editor.

Our AI will analyze your text based on two strict criteria:

Structure: Are all 8 stages present?
Originality: Is the story unique? (Plagiarism or copies of existing tales are automatically rejected).

3. Your Rewards

If the AI validates your story, you instantly receive:

The "Perfect Tale" badge, proudly displayed on your story's cover in public galleries.
A gain of 3 credits added to your balance to generate new images or texts.

⚠️ Warning: You can only request an AI evaluation once per day for the same story. Take the time to polish it!

4. A helping hand: The Narrative Timeline

To help you while writing, the editor includes a narrative timeline at the top of the screen. It visually reminds you of the 8 stages of the journey. Additionally, when you add a new chapter, tips appear in the empty text area to guide you (e.g., "This is the moment to introduce a magical object"). Use these clues to structure your story step by step!
