FAQs

System Codex is a spoiler-aware reading companion for LitRPG and progression fantasy series.

It helps readers keep track of characters, stats, skills, equipment, items, progression, and other system-style details without accidentally running into spoilers from later in the series.

Some codexes may be official or author-managed. Unless clearly marked as official or author-managed, a codex should be treated as unofficial, community-created, or proof-of-concept.

System Codex lets readers set their reading position in a series.

The app can then show information based on where the reader is, helping them avoid later spoilers while still refreshing themselves on what has already happened.

System Codex may use AI for limited presentation-focused features, such as placeholder images, generic RPG-style visuals, icon generation where a codex allows it, and short system-style lines that turn existing codex data into readable sentences.

AI is not treated as the source of truth for a series. Codex facts, descriptions, stats, skills, items, upgrades, acquisitions, and chapter appearances are manually created, curated, or reviewed by people.

Codex information may come from manual curation, community contribution, public reference material, author-approved material, or official author input.

System Codex does not provide full-book, manuscript, or chapter-ingestion tools for unapproved public codex creation.

Not currently as a general public feature.

In the future, System Codex may offer author-approved import tools that allow verified authors or authorised rights-holders to provide their own books, manuscripts, notes, or reference files to help build an official codex more easily.

That would be opt-in, consent-based, and limited to that author's codex work.

Yes. Verified authors can claim their own series on System Codex for free.

A free author claim can include basic tools for requesting corrections, raising representation concerns, setting image preferences, and asking for review of unofficial codexes relating to their work.

Start here: For Authors.

Yes. Verified authors can set basic image preferences for their own series for free, including whether AI-generated images are used.

Supporter credits or contributor tools do not override author preferences. AI images can only be created or published where a codex's visual policy allows it.

Yes. Authors and rights-holders can request corrections, attribution changes, image removal, codex review, public delisting, or removal from public view.

If a verified author or rights-holder asks us to remove an unofficial codex from public view, our usual approach is to delist it and make it inaccessible to the public while retaining internal records where needed for operational, moderation, legal, or audit purposes.

The goal is for System Codex to support community contribution, while giving authors and maintainers suitable review and moderation controls.

Community-created codexes can be useful, but author preferences and rights-holder concerns matter.

System Codex is strongly pro-artist.

Human-made artwork can receive attribution, credit links, labels, and highlighted presentation inside the app. AI-generated images may be useful as placeholders, but they are not treated as a replacement for human-made art.

Paid author features are not about charging authors to protect their work.

They are for authors who want System Codex to become part of their official reader experience, with advanced tools such as branding, analytics, official art management, community workflows, website embeds, white-label options, or implementation support.
