Built an AI narrative story maker because life lacks adventure, looking for feedback
So I built this little thing called an AI narrative story maker and I want to be honest about why.
I grew up on fantasy books, manga, manhwa, anime, JRPGs, MMOs, and like every kid who reads too much, I spent half my brain wondering what I would do if I were in there. What would I do at that tavern? Which side would I pick? Would I trust the cursed knight? Childish, sure, but if you're reading this you've probably done the same.
Then you grow up, you stop. You read a manhwa here and there. Life happens.
Recently I finally managed to leave my 9-5 and suddenly I had time again, and as a long-time fan of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (if you know, you know), I had this stupid idea. What if I built a kind of story-RPG where the AI is the narrator and you're the character who decides what happens next. I know plenty of apps already do this. But I always wanted to make a game, always wanted to write a fantasy book, and I never did either. So this is more about doing the thing than about market logic.
The app is called First Person Viewpoint (FPV). It's on iOS and Android. You make up your own world, create your character, and the AI handles the narration while you take actions. Basically the same family as AI Dungeon and the others — but vertical-scroll, no chat bubbles, reads more like a manhwa than a chat window.
Genres are pretty open: fantasy, sci-fi, romance, manga, horror, custom, even NSFW (the app is 18+ only). There's a small community feed where users can publish their own worlds.
Honest about the business side:
We don't own an LLM. We're not OpenAI. We use third-party APIs and somebody has to pay the per-token bill.
Free tier has ads, just enough to cover token cost on free users so I don't have to sell a kidney every month.
Paid tiers are ad-free with more actions and a better narration model.
We don't sell your data. Sessions live mostly on your device; the server only has what it needs.
It's pretty fair I think. I'm not trying to flip it for a billion. I just wanted it to exist.
