WRITING GUIDE

Build a chapter-by-chapter novel outline

Confirm story settings and chapter configuration, generate an outline, and revise it before prose generation.

Inputs

Provide the premise, main plot, saved characters, genre, chapter count, and chapter-group configuration. Foreshadowing is optional; when added, include setup and payoff arrangements linked to saved characters.

Reviewable output

The outline must cover the confirmed chapters with distinct headings and specific plot progression. It must include saved characters and foreshadowing. A table of contents alone does not satisfy the complete-outline check.

Revision and cost

Use the story board to revise settings and the outline. Changes can invalidate an older outline, requiring review again. Viewing and editing are separate from AI generation; a new generation may consume credits under the current pricing policy. No fixed completion time or publication outcome is promised.

Prompt to adapt

Use this as a starting point. Add your own constraints and check the result.

Prepare an English outline using Chapter 1: Title, Chapter 2: Title, and so on. Under each heading describe the concrete event, character decision, escalation, and result. Use the confirmed chapter count and all saved characters; do not invent missing settings or claim the outline has been saved.
