Main FeaturesVertical CSS Format
Nowgu is designed to be comfortably read on any screen device, using a fixed-pixel structure to maintain a uniform reading experience without being a slave to responsive web design. However, creative freedom remains a priority, allowing each author to decide how to approach their work.
Ultralight Narrative
Inspired by light novels, but even more simplified. The goal is to make the story easy to read, whether simple or deep, but without complex language barriers.
Flexible Use of Illustrations
There are no strict rules about the amount of text or images that should be included. Authors have full creative freedom.
Modular Publishing
Creators can divide their works into volumes, chapters, or even small fragments, allowing for smooth and flexible distribution.
Accessibility and Speed
Designed to adapt to the current generation, where reading has largely been replaced by instant-consumption content. Nowgu offers a fast and light alternative without losing its narrative essence.
AI Compatibility
The use of artificial intelligence to generate content is allowed and encouraged, promoting its integration into the creative process and the evolution of the format.
Purpose and PhilosophyNowgu was created with the intention of revitalizing the reading habit in an era dominated by instant dopamine. While literature has evolved with media like manga and comics, the number of readers continues to decline. This new format aims to be a bridge between light entertainment and narrative immersion, allowing stories of any genre and style.
Additionally, Nowgu does not intend to be a revolution, but an adaptation to the digital and capitalist-industrial age we live in. As an agile format, it allows stories to migrate to more complete media like traditional novels, animated series, or video games.
Quality and ResponsibilityWhile Nowgu allows full flexibility in how stories are told, this does not mean that quality should be neglected. The absence of strict rules regarding the structure of works is not an excuse to publish disorganized or unreviewed content. Spelling, grammar, and semantic coherence are still fundamental aspects for a work to be understandable and enjoyable. However, since this format is open to everyone, including children and people with low formal education, there is an expectation of understanding for those still in the process of improving their writing skills. Instead of destructive criticism, the community should foster learning and creative evolution.
Furthermore, it is important to clarify that Nowgu is a free format, meaning any type of story can be told within it. However, if specific trends emerge over time in certain genres or themes—such as sexualization, erotic content, or extremism—this should not be interpreted as an intrinsic feature of the format, but as a reflection of the interests of the community that adopts it. The essence of Nowgu is creative freedom, and any trends that arise around it will be the responsibility of the audience and creators, not the genre itself.
Creative Freedom and EvolutionAuthors can experiment with the structure and presentation of their stories, without restrictions on style or content. Nowgu seeks to be a platform for free expression, where any creator can share their vision without limitations. Additionally, the use of artificial intelligence opens new narrative possibilities, allowing for collaboration between humans and machines in content creation. While other formats reject and demonize its use, clinging to traditional methods and limiting their evolution, this new approach embraces it openly as just another tool, because AI is not an enemy but an ally in constant improvement. The more it is used, the more refined it will become, reducing errors and expanding its capabilities. Only by giving it work and challenges to overcome can we evolve alongside it, exploring narrative territories that were once unthinkable.
ConclusionNowgu is a pioneering narrative genre and format that responds to the needs of the current audience without sacrificing the magic of immersion. Created by Fry Ureña, this flexible and light publishing system seeks to redefine the way we consume stories, balancing accessibility, creativity, and narrative depth. At the same time, it opens new opportunities for the evolution of artificial intelligence in digital content creation.
Eternal honor to those who made graphic art a legacy. This is not a copy nor a replacement, but a parallel route born from respect, not competition. Creating with AI does not carry the weight of the hand nor the depth of the craft, and does not intend to do so. This path does not seek to validate its existence by imitating established styles, but to offer a distinct, open, direct, functional channel. Not everything has to be manga or comic, nor be limited to what already was. This is something else, with a different logic, with a different purpose.
