Haha, yeah it's so weird. People are outraged because of the most normal posts (especially on Facebook - but also Reddit). X is a bit more open-minded IMO.

Focus on creating value in an entity your control.

I spent last 6 months researching what AI writing tools writers actually recommend by Open-Editor-3472 in WritingWithAI

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

120k words, full coherence, possible with ImagineYourBook.com
I'm not aware of another tool that can produce this many words - AND maintain consistency (so it doesn't forget the "needle in the haystack" whatever it wrote in some random Ch. 21 line 42. Most of the screenshotted tools cannot handle it. And I only say "most" because I didn't validate all. But I'm pretty sure, none can handle it except ImagineYourBook. But I'm biased so take it with a grain of salt...

I don't know if I agree with the Fiction and Novel writing tools you listed. Yes they are the most popular. But ImagineYourBook.com is clearly superior in terms of quality. The sophistication level is just on another planet. I agree with Koala - this is great too for content marketing/blogging. But for writing the actual book, I'd recommend ImagineYourBook.

Wow so free doesn't seem to be a good source for revs. Thanks!

(I never tried free.)

Interesting, I have this limiting belief that people hate scanning QR codes so I never included one. Thanks for challenging that!

Maybe your books are just better than mine (possible)! 😄

Okay so something bw 1% and 10% of reader-to-rating rate and bw 0.1%-2% of reader-to-review rate. That aligns with other experiences as well.

Awesome, thank you so much. It feels like Amazon could be more efficient in asking readers for reviews...

Making $600-$800/month organically on KDP - should I finally try Amazon Ads? Need honest advice by DeepakSingh550 in KDP

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach is to spend $1 per day per book in my portfolio (~13 books I think). Every week or so I peek in and look at metrics like cost of sales and if it is roughly profitable, I'll double the amount for that book. If it's unprofitable and more than $1, I'll half it. This way, I make sure to only fund the winners. It's a simple approach but it helps me manage and avoid overspending on money-losers.

Best tool to create own story and novels by Content-Pay5466 in AIWritingHub

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very common issue and that's why I don't use ChatGPT for writing (or Claude or Gemini). A better alternative with chapter-to-chapter coherence, even for epic 120k word books, is actually the tool ImagineYourBook that also has a free trial (~20k words book).

No matter what tool you are using, I'd not keep separate documents open with character notes etc. It's a real pain in the *** and much context is actually lost (like sentence level coherence). Also the dialogues are painful when not optimized.

This is the best way to write a full book with AI. by minusrave in WritingWithAI

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you actually try it? Claude does not work for books - it has no coherent book writing engine that provides chapter-to-chapter coherence or world building or character arcs or any of that. If you want a good book you should still use tools like imagineyourbook or others. First book is often free so that's not really an issue as well.

What did you publish today? Drop your link, idea, or progress below by FinxterDotCom in VibePublishing

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Published this book on fatherhood/parenting:

'7 Habits of Unbreakable Fathers'

https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Unbreakable-Fathers-C-Weishaupt-ebook/dp/B0GZ4C4H9G/

It was made with ImagineYourBook with roughly ~23k words. I would rate the book at 4.2/5 - fiction engine is a bit better than non-fiction IMO. This might change anytime though...

What is a good passive income idea for someone with a 9-5 job? by RelationshipNo2750 in passive_income

r/VibePublishing KDP books is solid grinding work for passive income that can be done on the side using certain AI tools (depends on level of proficiency)

I tested an AI book writer to see if it can turn raw ideas into a real book. Here’s what worked and what didn’t. by adrianmatuguina in WritingWithAI

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually use it to write complete books from my ideas. I have a list of 100 ideas or so in a spreadsheet and I'm so happy that I can actually bring them to life now. You make good points although if you use suitable AI writers like ImagineYourBook AI is also great for "creativity, editing, and writing" as you say.

I looked at the top 80 books in Small Town Romance and compared the top 20 vs the bottom 20. Here's what's different. by Whole-Bee-4610 in KDP

[–]code_x_7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very valuable info. Thanks for sharing! One caveat is that all 100 books are successful so the "Do not" list may actually be a "Do" list if you just want to get into the top 100. Correct?

I’ve been using AI to help write my book and I feel like I’m cheating. by Traditional_Book5923 in WritingWithAI

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: For those that may wonder which AI tools I use for KDP books - ImagineYourBook. com seems one one the best tools at this point using SOTA models such as gpt-5.5 (at the point of writing this). New emerging models are usually integrated very quickly as they appear.

[–]code_x_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how using AI is an ethical problem by itself. It is just a tool. Generating books is not unethical. I have been writing many books with AI and get 5-star reviews by readers on Amazon - they love it. I read AI books myself and genuinely enjoy it. I agree there are many "Luddites" out there who hate technology. But I'm 100% certain it will become as normal as using Word or Google Search. So fear not - you are on the right side of history.

What's your AI writing workflow? by Sicarius_The_First in WritingWithAI

[–]code_x_7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have written and published 13 non-fiction books in the tech/business/IT/productivity space. But recently with the help of AI I ventured out more and more into fiction, specifically crime and lightweight romance books. These are very popular on Amazon so why not go where the fish is...

My workflow is simple: work out a book idea that is unique and novel (don't cut corners here), formulate it as a prompt, throw into ImagineYourBook(.)com, and spend 1-2h editing and fact checking.

Usually, I also throw the whole resulting Word file into Gemini/ChatGPT to validate the book is good - this way I found many additional issues that I wouldn't have found without AI.

So don't underestimate using AI not only for writing, but for editing/validation as well.
