About CastTales

Friends who love LitRPG splitting costs to get the best AI narration of web novels. No profit, just great audiobooks.

Our Mission

Friends Sharing Fantastic Audiobooks

We're a small group of friends who absolutely love LitRPG and web novels, but got frustrated that our favorite series from RoyalRoad and Patreon only existed as text. Professional audiobook production is crazy expensive, so most web novels never get the audio treatment.

So we figured out a solution: pool our resources to split the cost of premium AI synthesis! We use the best voices from OpenAI and Microsoft Azure to turn our favorite series into high-quality audiobooks. Everyone gets their own personal copy in AudiobookShelf, and we all save money by sharing costs.

This isn't a business - there's no profit here. We just love great audiobooks and found a way to make it work for everyone. More friends joining means lower costs for all of us, and we keep spots limited so the club stays manageable and friendly.
