Overview
This skill creates multi-chapter Chinese novels with consistent plotting, natural prose, and chapter-ending suspense hooks. It supports many genres (mystery, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, wuxia, etc.) and produces long-form works of 10–50 chapters with each chapter targeted at 3000–5000 Chinese characters. The output is deeply edited to remove obvious AI artifacts and ensure smooth, idiomatic language.
How this skill works
The skill begins by asking five focused questions to fix genre, protagonist type, personality, core conflict, and desired chapter count. It generates a full outline and character profiles, then automatically writes chapters in sequence without further prompts. Each chapter goes through structured steps: opening hook, scene planning, full-text composition (3k–5k chars), and post-editing that enforces continuity and removes AI-style phrasing.
When to use it
- You want a complete novel drafted quickly across many chapters.
- You need chapter-by-chapter continuity with a unified outline and character files.
- You require each chapter to end on a suspenseful hook for serial release.
- You want prose polished to reduce AI fingerprints and read naturally.
- You plan long-form projects in specific genres (suspense, romance, fantasy, etc.)
Best practices
- Answer the initial five setup questions clearly to get a focused outline.
- Confirm the generated outline and character sheets before full drafting.
- Prefer a chapter count that matches your pacing goals (10, 20, 30, 50).
- Review chapter summaries after each batch to catch continuity issues early.
- Use the provided wordcount checks and expansion steps if a chapter falls short.
Example use cases
- Generate a 20-chapter modern mystery with a rational detective lead and chapter cliffhangers.
- Produce a 30-chapter historical romance with detailed character dossiers and polished dialogue.
- Draft a 50-chapter epic fantasy with scene-by-scene progression and serialized releases.
- Create a 10-chapter sci-fi novella that emphasizes plot twists and concise pacing.
- Turn a high-level premise into a full outline and complete first draft suitable for revision.
FAQ
Yes. The system shows the plan for confirmation and you can request edits before full drafting begins.
What if a chapter is shorter than required?
Chapters are checked with a wordcount script; any chapter below the minimum is expanded using targeted techniques until it meets length and quality standards.
How does it remove AI-sounding text?
Post-editing focuses on removing clichéd descriptors, concreting abstract statements, varying sentence rhythm, and making dialogue more colloquial and character-specific.
