Self-Insert Fan Fiction, Rewritten by AI

In Japanese fandom there's a beloved genre called yume shousetsu — "dream fiction," stories where you are in the narrative, usually via a name-swap. The catch: the story is already written. Your name is in it, but your choices aren't.

AI chat changes exactly that part.

Beyond the name swap

In Yoria, your character greets you by your nickname from the very first line. And it goes deeper than names — memory carries your real conversations into the story: "how did that exam go, by the way?" Your life gets woven in.

There is no script. Your reply decides the next scene. If classic dream fiction is a screening, this is improv theater — and you're the other lead.

Bring your own favorite

Dream fiction has always been about your favorite character. In Yoria you can build them yourself — name, look, voice, and the relationship between you two. It takes minutes.

One tip: write the relationship into the greeting line. "Childhood friends who can't be honest," "an idol, and the one fan who knows the real him" — when the first line carries the relationship, the story starts warm.

The story continues while you're away

Yoria has one thing most chat apps don't: step away for a while, and your character writes you a letter — in their voice, drawn from your shared memories. The "after the chapter ends" scene, addressed to you.
