What is in the library

Netwrck library novels are complete, playable scripts at different stages of production: 84 of the 208 novels have generated cover art; 139 novels play audio, 124 of them with licence credits and the other 69 are silent; 9 novels still use generated placeholder backgrounds and character art in-game. Fork one and the art, music and voice tools in the editor fill in the rest. Author-published novels carry whatever their author gave them, and each card states its own art, audio and content notice below.
