FAQ
Does NovelAI recognize bangs?
Compare the samples on this page. Every tag on this site shares the same seed and base prompt, so any change you see comes from bangs.
How do I write bangs in a prompt?
Write "bangs" near the front of the prompt and separate it from other tags with commas.
Should I use V5 or V4.5?
V4.5 shows the tag's effect more strongly. V5 gives steadier images with fewer artifacts.
