Fighting Enshittification...
Hey @Zigmars Berzins , saw this article and thought it may be an interesting read as you continue to progress through your journey in building BookNova. https://ryanlevesque.net/the-shape-of-enshittification/?inf_contact_key=a471913e7dc2438edd92497808dd850c2ec2094b0cea6b68b61d0db7a8f697f7

@Zigmars Berzins yeah. The more interesting part for you would probably be the study itself and how to train ai to think like a human rather than computer, which I know from all your posts on the subject is very complex and you've done a lot of work in already with the contexts and timelines and everything else.

@Zigmars Berzins excellent point. Even business book authors have realized that there's less value in the books and more value in an AI tool built upon the data that built the book (like Hormozi's ACQ AI or Russel Brunson's new launch that I'm not really following). Like you said, fiction has a unique place because people want that escapism more than ever, and don't care about the author at all (ai or ghost-written or otherwise) and just want something to give them those emotional hits in whatever genre they prefer.
📖 Big update to the Fiction Engine — better chapter craft
We've just rolled out a major upgrade to how BookNova writes fiction. Here's what's new: Smarter chapter openings — instead of every chapter starting with the same pattern ("The next morning...", "Three days later..."), the AI now rotates through 8 proven opening techniques (sensory immersion, character action, dialogue cold open, interior monologue, atmospheric wrongness, singular object, physical sensation, environmental contrast). Each chapter opens differently — variety reads as professional craft. Smarter chapter endings — same idea for closings. 8 ending techniques rotate too (image, question, stated intent, dialogue cliff, realization, action mid-motion, emotional beat, singular object). No more "see you tomorrow at the pier" repeated five chapters in a row. Chapter-to-chapter continuity — chapters now connect logically instead of feeling like disconnected vignettes. Each transition either picks up a setup planted in the previous chapter, or follows naturally from where the protagonist's emotional/plot state left off. Random location jumps are gone. Same-location chapters done right — multiple chapters at the same place (a romantic weekend, a hostage standoff, a Christmas evening at home) are now handled the way real novels handle them: each chapter feels distinct through time skip, sub-location, character shift, emotional register, beat focus, or POV change. Previous chapter ending awareness — the AI now sees the actual closing paragraphs of the previous chapter (not just the plot summary), so the new chapter can bridge from the exact texture of where the last one left off. Multi-language fixes — all of this works in any language. Removed language-specific examples that were biasing the AI; principles now apply universally. These changes apply to all new chapter generations going forward. Existing books benefit immediately — just regenerate any chapter to see the difference. Happy writing!

This is such an interesting project to watch unfold, deconstructing all the structure that's in place in novels and stories that I never knew was there. I'm not looking to be a book author myself, but just seeing how you lay out and build the engine for it makes me curious to see what it creates.
Would you be interested in earning with TextBuilder Affiliate?
The main question. Do you have sufficiently powerful channels to advertise TextBuilder (personal blog, groups, communities, social media account, etc.)?And would you be interested in also selling TextBuilder as an affiliate? The new TextBuilder PDF book generator is selling like hotcakes. People really love this product, and very soon there will be a visual editor, as well as novel-writing capabilities. We're going even bigger. That's why I'm asking about Affiliate. Maybe it's time to revisit this topic. Because I did have an Affiliate program before, but unfortunately so few people were interested in promoting and earning from affiliate that I ended up shutting the program down.

If it's not too heavy of a lift to add it, then i think it's worth it. You may also consider giving free access to a few big review YouTube channels that can share it to their networks. The thing with affiliates that I've seen is that it has to be an active pursuit at first reaching out to the bigger influencers (in the smaller niches). Your current members will not have the network effects for it to be worth it for them to be an affiliate to their 1 or 2 friends that are also interested in making money online, but YouTubers with 1000+ subscribers and hundreds of views per video are a good minimum target to have them amplify the marketing value for minimal cost to you.
Facebook banned my account (I got it back).
These days, META AI is banning accounts very aggressively. Luckily, I spend massive amounts on META Ads, which is why I've been assigned a META Rep and have direct contact with META. Because of that, I managed to get my account unbanned, since it was an error on the AI system's end. Unfortunately, many people haven't been so lucky. This got me thinking that you should never put all your eggs in one basket. You need to spread the risks. That's why I've decided to also grow my SKOOL group going forward, where I'll continue sharing my 'Build in Public' story. Thanks for joining. 🙏

Happy to be here. Looking forward to continue learning about TextBuilder and anything else you develop or teach on here.
