Detailed Review

Y/n – Fanfiction Chats (formerly known as 'Draco is typing...') represents an innovative approach to interactive fiction by transforming traditional fanfiction into dynamic group chat simulations. Developed by Emittance Inc. for iOS, the app has garnered a 4.67/5 rating through its unique proposition of enabling users to participate in real-time narrative experiences with AI-generated characters from popular fictional universes. The core functionality revolves around joining pre-built chat scenarios where multiple AI characters interact simultaneously. Users can engage in narratives ranging from romantic pursuits with Harry Potter characters to survival scenarios with Sherlock Holmes. The AI system tracks user behavior and relationships, with characters responding positively to friendly interactions or delivering humorous critiques for poorly conceived inputs. Notably, conversations continue developing even when users are inactive, creating persistent storylines that encourage regular engagement. User experience benefits from an intuitive chat-style interface that mimics familiar messaging platforms, lowering the learning curve for new users. The app demonstrates particular strength in maintaining character consistency and narrative coherence across multiple participants. Real-world usage patterns show high engagement rates, with users reporting extended session times due to the compelling nature of ongoing story development and character relationship building. User feedback consistently praises the app's responsiveness and witty dialogue generation. hopeygee23's June 28, 2025 review notes 'quick and witty responses' while suggesting clearer content guidelines. Hazel 🦀's July 3, 2025 review highlights the balanced content filtering that 'allows combat scenery' while maintaining appropriate safeguards. Multiple reviewers including Kirstalicious (July 6, 2025) compare it favorably against competitors, noting superior reliability and avoidance of repetitive loops that plague similar applications. The application demonstrates notable strengths in dynamic storytelling and character interaction, though some users report occasional navigation challenges and desire alternative verification methods beyond phone number requirements. The app excels for users seeking collaborative narrative experiences rather than solitary storytelling, with particular appeal for those interested in testing character relationships and exploring alternative plot developments within established fictional universes.

Overall thoughts on app: I loved everything about it. The quality of the bots embodying the characters, the dialog, story progression, long memory, -everything about it is top tier in my opinion. Reason for title: Since there's now a chat limit, I've deleted it. Rant: I know there's a paid option, however, I'm not one to buy games or subscriptions. No longer having unlimited chat for free is a major deal breaker for me. There are other new changes that I dislike: - The character limit amount (how many characters you can add in a "chat group"/story). - The homepage (default opening screen whenever you open the app) is now the Explore "page" instead of the Stories page. Why I hate the Explore page: the pictures, titles, and descriptions from other people's stories are mostly inappropriate or clashes with my taste, which sometimes makes me wish I never had eyes. - Engine "V2" -although I know it says it's in beta- when chatting for a while, when there's a scene with heavy action for a long time, and then I go to "speak/talk" to a character. The character I "talk to" just simply doesn't, and instead the action/story dialog keeps going as if I've never spoken to the said character. Which is why I only use the "V1" engine (the best out of the two options anyways). Another thing about "V2" is that I find it weird that it'll pause and give you dialog options, but as if you're a different character, instead of your own character. Anyways, if there was no limit to the chats, I would have probably kept using the app. will never use again Overall thoughts on app: I loved everything about it.
