I recently bought Articy Draft to catalog my writing endeavours. It seems good for writing scripts, but what about writing a book?

Reference: www.nevigo.com/en/articydraft/overview/
I'm planning writing a novel using this tool. It's built primarily for game design (scripts and dialogs included). It's very useful for creating your universe's database and you can relate database items (like characters) inside your scripts, so you know when/where they are used. I thought it would be a good tool for coherence's sake.

Answer from Kai Rosenkranz "Nevigo Developer" in the Steam thread Articy: Just for games?

Thanks for your interest. Between 10 and 20 percent of our customers use articy:draft for other purposes than designing games, like novelists, screenwriters, and instructional designers (for game-based training, ...ok, that may count as game design :) ).

Based on Kai's comment, I guess then it's pretty safe to affirm that Articy Draft can be used to write a book.

But, by my first impressions, I would say Articy is much better as a resource tool than as a writing tool. It's also not exactly cheap.

This answer would not be complete if I didn't say Scrivener -- for example -- for one third of the price, will also allow you to manage resources -- places, characters, concepts -- in a very effective way and is much more focused on writing.
