Is there a way to track the promises and payoffs throughout the story within the app ? I find I need to read through each chapter to identify the promises made to the reader and capture the details in another app to ensure I don’t leave any loose ends. Would like to understand how others are doing this too.

Here is the story behind it. One of you (Deborah 😉) - a writer right here in this community - reached out and said something simple but brilliant: "I love the books, but sometimes I just want to change a character's name or fix a small detail without regenerating the whole thing and spending credits." That is exactly the kind of feedback I build on. So I sat down and made it happen. Now you can search your whole book and change any word, name, or phrase - instantly, everywhere it appears. Rename a character, fix a recurring term, correct a small detail - done in seconds. No regenerating. No credits spent. Full control, right in your hands. It comes in two modes: Simple - find an exact word or phrase and replace it everywhere in the book. Smart - perfect for renaming a character. It updates every form of the name so nothing slips through and your book stays consistent from cover to cover. You will find it right in the writing view - look for the Find & Replace button, or just press Ctrl+H. This is exactly why I love building BookNova as a solo founder, together with you. You share an idea, and it becomes a real feature - fast. So keep them coming. The next feature might be the one you suggested. Go give it a try, and let me know what you think.

A lot (like A LOT) of clients are complaining that they don't want to see these AI em-dashes. Should I ban them 👉 "—"? And just keep the occasional regular, small "-" ?

A community member asked a brilliant question: "Can I assign my characters MBTI types in their bios to keep their personalities consistent throughout the book?" The answer is YES — and if you do it right, it's one of the easiest ways to keep your characters feeling like real, consistent people from chapter 1 to the very end. Here's how 👇 ✅ First, the good news 🎯 BookNova understands MBTI. The AI models behind it are well-trained on personality frameworks, so when you write "INTJ" or "ENFP" in a bio, the AI genuinely knows what it means — the mindset, the tendencies, the way that type thinks and behaves. 🙌 So keep your system! If MBTI helps you track your cast, it absolutely works in BookNova. 💡 But here's the pro tip that makes it 10x better 📌 Don't use the MBTI code alone — pair it with a few concrete behavioral notes. Here's why: an MBTI type is great shorthand for you, but it's an abstract label. Across a long book — many chapters, lots of context being passed scene to scene — the writing engine stays most consistent when it has concrete behavioral anchors, not just a four-letter tag. 🔑 The label tells the AI who your character is. 🔑 The behavioral notes tell it how they act on the page. Give it both, and your character stays rock-solid all the way through. 💪 ✍️ Example: weak vs. strong 🚫 Weak: Elena — INTJ ✅ Strong: Elena — INTJ. Strategic and reserved, thinks several moves ahead. Speaks precisely and rarely shows emotion, but is fiercely loyal underneath. Hates small talk; cuts straight to the point. See the difference? The second one keeps your MBTI shorthand and gives the AI the exact speech and behavior patterns that keep Elena feeling like the same person in chapter 2 and chapter 20. 🎭 🧩 Where to put it in BookNova 📝 The Description / Backstory field is perfect for this. 🗣️ Even better — use the dedicated "Speaking Style," "Motivation," and "Inner Conflict" fields to translate each MBTI trait into concrete, page-level behavior the AI will hold onto throughout the whole book.
