What is in the library

Netwrck library novels are complete, playable scripts at different stages of production: all 64 library novels have generated cover art; 57 novels play licensed music credited in the build and the other 7 are silent. 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.

Sorted by newest first.

Ranked by listed or estimated play time — the authored figure where a listing gives one, otherwise word count at 220 words per minute. Not paid placement, and not a popularity ranking.
