How blog.novelai.net and novelai.net relate to each other

Updated

blog.novelai.net is the official NovelAI blog, hosted on Medium under the author name “Anlatan,” while novelai.net is the main NovelAI product site. Use the blog to read announcements and write-ups about NovelAI; use novelai.net to reach the actual service. The blog describes NovelAI as a tool that “creates or edits images with generative models and visual controls” and as a way to “painlessly construct unique stories, thrilling tales, seductive romances, or just fool around.”

What each site is for

Site What it is What you go there for
blog.novelai.net Anlatan’s writing on Medium, described as the NovelAI blog Announcements, feature explanations, policy updates, background reading
novelai.net The main NovelAI site The product itself — creating or editing images and writing stories with AI

The blog’s own description points readers to novelai.net (“novelai.net Driven by AI…”), so the two are linked by design: the blog is the publication channel, and novelai.net is where the service lives.

How the blog is organized

The blog is a Medium publication, so posts appear as individual articles under the Anlatan profile rather than as a single documentation site. Two kinds of posts stand out from the available listings:

  • Product and model write-ups, such as a post titled “NovelAI Improvements on Stable Diffusion” dated October 2022, which discusses image-generation work.
  • Subscription and usage policy notices, including posts on “Subscription Updates: Usage Limits & Subscription Anlas Policy Adjustments” and a Japanese-language notice about subscription usage limits and how subscription Anlas is handled.

Because policy posts sit alongside product posts in the same feed, check the publication date on any subscription-related article before relying on it — older notices may have been superseded by newer ones.

Practical way to use the two sites

  1. Start at blog.novelai.net when you want to know what changed or what was announced. Scan the post list for the topic (model improvements, subscription policy) and open the matching article.
  2. Note the date and language. Some notices are published in Japanese only, and policy posts are time-sensitive.
  3. Move to novelai.net to actually use the service or to check current account and subscription details, since the blog is a reading channel, not the product interface.

Common points of confusion

  • “Anlatan” is not a separate company. It is the author name under which the NovelAI blog publishes on Medium, so an Anlatan post on blog.novelai.net is NovelAI’s own material.
  • The blog is not the help center. It carries announcements and explanations; for the product itself and account-level information, novelai.net is the destination.
  • Subscription details on the blog are announcements, not a price list. The available posts discuss usage limits and Anlas policy changes; they should be read as updates rather than as a complete statement of current terms.
