    This is for writing a book, World Anvil is for creating a world (for a book, series, RPG, game, or any other reason). There's some feature overlap but not much.

    Notebook.ai vs World Anvil Comments

    Notebook.ai has a way cleaner interface and seems a lot easier to use. You have to pay to get private pages on World Anvil, but that's a free feature on Notebook.ai and it seems to have a lot more features geared towards writing and worldbuilding instead of just playing RPG games.
