New quest available
Your LLM can write.It can't remember.
New Quest is your story's save file. Characters, stats, inventory, world rules, who knows what: tracked, versioned, and live inside whatever AI you write with. Built for LitRPG. Works for any book.
Join the Guild. App access included.
Kaelen walks back into The Salted Crow. Write the scene.
Your model, on its own
The innkeeper looked up from the bar and smiled. Hesper reached for his usual cup before he had finished crossing the room. "Back so soon," she said.
Continuity break. Hesper died in chapter 4, and the inn burned down with her.

Half the roof was open sky. Kaelen set two coins down on what was left of the bar, the way Hesper would have made him, and nobody came to take them.

Same model. Same prompt. One of them has the save file.
Every AI-drafted book dies at chapter 12.
Not chapter one. Chapter one is easy. By chapter twelve, your model has forgotten who holds the sword, what level anyone is, and that you killed the innkeeper two books ago. General chatbots have no memory of your world, and in progression fiction, where readers check the maths, a continuity slip isn't a typo. It's a one-star review.
You can fight it with spreadsheets and a wiki. Until one Tuesday you don't, and the book quietly joins the graveyard.
How it works
Plug memory into the AI you already use.
New Quest is a story-state engine, not another blank page. It connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP. It also works with nothing connected at all. Your world lives here, and so does the book: scenes hold the drafted prose and the whole thing compiles to one Markdown file.
- Step 01
Bring what you have.
Paste in a manuscript and it lands split into chapters and scenes. Or start from nothing. Then build the bible: characters, stat blocks, locations, items, factions, rules. LitRPG mechanics are first-class: XP, skills, inventory, buffs, weaknesses. All optional, dial it to taste.
- Step 02
Connect your LLM. Or don't.
Two minutes of setup, and your model can ask New Quest anything: "What's in Fitz's inventory?" "What did Dottie know in chapter 4?" Skip it and stay in Word or Scrivener. The bible, the continuity checks and the export need no model at all.
- Step 03
Write. We keep score.
Paste a drafted scene and New Quest extracts what changed: XP gained, wounds taken, secrets learned, and logs it. The scene keeps the prose. Your world stays true while you stay in flow.
Character Lens
Write every scene through your character's eyes.
Generic AI prose happens because the model writes as the average of every book ever. The Character Lens fixes it: one call assembles who your character is, how they speak, what they want right now, and what they don't yet know, then hands it to your model as the rules of the scene. A soldier and a thief walk into the same tavern and notice two different rooms. Now your drafts do too.
Same sceneThe Ashfall tap room, second bell. Twelve strangers.
Four purses worth the walk, one worth the risk. The floorboard by the hearth sang under boots, so she stepped around it, smiled at the man watching her, and let him think he was the one watching.
Notices: purses, loose boards, who is watching
What's inside
Everything your model forgets, kept in one place.
Living character sheets
Full sheets an AI can actually write from: voice, flaws, knowledge boundaries, and optional stat blocks with levels, spells, and loot.
Your world, mapped
Upload your maps, pin locations, watch character positions update live as you write. Dungeon floors and city districts included.
Time-travel your continuity
Every change is an event tied to a scene. Ask what was true in chapter 4 and get an answer, not a guess.
Continuity linting
Dead characters walking, spells nobody learned, HP over max: caught before your readers catch them.
Promise tracking
Every Chekhov gun you plant, tracked until it fires. End arcs owing readers exactly what you intend to.
The book lives here too
Scenes hold your drafted prose and the whole book compiles to one Markdown file. Export the lot, world and manuscript together. No lock-in, no training on your work, delete means delete.
The Guild
The tool is half of it. The Guild is the other half.
New Quest started as a community of people actually finishing books. Inside: The First Quest, a seven-lesson course from blank page to drafted chapter with AI as co-writer, not ghostwriter. Weekly Guild Hall calls with co-writing sprints. A crowd that min-maxes each other's magic systems before readers can. And a founder writing his own LitRPG novel completely in public, every technique shared as it's figured out.

Built in public
The first book in New Quest is mine.
I'm an ex Royal Marine turned engineer, and I'm writing my first progression novel with these exact tools, in public, on the channel. Every feature exists because chapter twelve annoyed me personally. Watch the build, steal the techniques, or write alongside us.

FAQ
The questions people actually ask.
Is this AI slop generation?
No. New Quest contains zero text generation. You write the beats, your model drafts inside your constraints, and New Quest just remembers your world. It exists because we take craft seriously enough to be embarrassed by continuity errors.
Do you train on my book?
Never. Your content goes only to the LLM you connect, on your own account. We store your world data, encrypted, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
I don't write LitRPG. Is this for me?
Yes. The game-mechanics layer is optional. Underneath it's characters, knowledge, locations, and continuity, which every novel needs.
Can't I just use a wiki?
You can, and we teach the manual method free. The difference is a wiki can't answer questions mid-draft or log changes automatically. New Quest lives inside the conversation where you write.
What AIs does it work with?
Anything that speaks MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and a growing list. You can also connect none of them. Paste your chapters in from Word or Scrivener and the bible, the continuity checks and the export all still work.
Where does my book live?
In your scenes, if you want it there. Each scene holds its drafted text, the whole book compiles to one Markdown file, and export hands you that file whenever you ask. Prose storage is new, so keep your own copy as well.
What's the tier list thing?
A free toy that got out of hand. Build and share book tier lists atnewquest.app/tierlist, no signup needed.
