How To Visual Novel


Guide on how to make a visual novel on JanitorAI with functional CG imagery, character expressions, and game formatting.

Note: In this guide I show an example that uses an expression sheet for one character, however, you can make a visual novel that is as simple as having many characters with a picture dedicated to the each of them, or an RPG with images of items and enemies.

Here is what it would look like in chat:

Romance Style:

RPG Style:

Step 1:

Use proxy! Unfortunately this is a massive step that requires time to sort out and the ( ˘ ³˘)♥ Janitor lovelies have put together a guide on how to do it. Deepseek V3, Deepseek R1 (both Deepseek models are free via Openrouter for 50 msg per day, also costs very cheap one time 5$ payment via Chutes for 200 msg per day), and Gemini 2.5 Pro (free, also 50 msg per day) are my top recommendations. JLLM at the moment is not great at following specific instructions, especially when copy pasting the exact things you want it to and using unusual formatting.

Step 2:

Get your pictures ready and upload them to the Media Library. Janitor AI no longer supports third party image URLs so this is your only option. Images in chat also works with gifs, but the size must be veerry small (5MB), which might be okay for things like animated items. Remember to pay heed to Janitor AI's image policies!

IMPORTANT: On PC, the chat will look buggy if the image is too long horizontally, so I recommend 3:2 as the maximum landscape aspect ratio. Thinner ratios will also fit in the chat without breaking anything. On mobile, however, all the images will look tiny regardless of ratio.

Upload smaller images like pixelart as GIF instead of PNG to retain the original size. Uploading as PNG will convert it to WEBP format and forcibly resize it, losing quality.

Step 3:

To make images appear in chat, add instructions in the bot's definition telling it exactly how to insert images, and provide it some links.

Instructions can look like this:

Romance style:

  • Response must be 400 tokens or less+include a suitable CG that reflects the targeted character's mood.CGs of characters must also appear at the same time they enter/reenter the scene.Item CGs only show when physically presented to {user}.CGs are inserted like this ![](full link to image).

RPG style:

  • Format;all content from {{char}} will be bracketed & decorated in plaintext symbols to simulate graphics like in that of a text-based ga

  • Personality:   ``(My bots are formatted so that there are no spaces between sentences and abbreviations are used as much as possible to minimise token use, so it might be a little hard to read their definitions but I have styled this template to make it easier. There's always a lot of content packed in and proxies generally can't function well above 3000 tokens. 5000 is stretching it. JLLM fairs even worse with anything over 2500, but this is a guide on how to make Visual Novel bots which JLLM absolutely struggles with, so forget using that! (°ロ° ;))`` ``(This is a very rough version of an otome bot I'm currently working, you can test how the images and formatting work in chat.)`` **E X A M P L E .
