I'd love it if we could attach images directly to World Building entries. Like, when I'm building a character, location, faction, or magic system, it would be super helpful to just drop in reference images (concept art, photos, mood boards, etc.) right there in the entry. It makes it way easier to keep the visual concept in mind while writing, and the AI could potentially reference those images too when generating descriptions or scenes. Even just basic image upload + display in the world bible would be huge for me. Doesn't need to be fancy at first. Thanks! This would genuinely level up the world-building experience.

I would love for a way to sort and filter the character list and story bible. The constant scrolling up and down and the fact everything is in the center frame makes navigation a nightmare at times when you are working and need to search for something back and forth. Thank!

I love love LOVE the story bible, but when you’ve got forty characters spread out over five books, and each character description contains five fields or more, it takes about twenty years to scroll through them to find the one I want. Is there some way to provide a shortcut to each character at the top of the characters section? Same with the Outline. My outlines are long and it takes a while to scroll through it to the chapter I want. It would be nice to have a shortcut at the top of that section to each chapter. Thanks for all you do!

One of the elements that I love about Scrivener that I wish Sudowrite could incorporate is the ability to have split screens open so I can write/edit things in one document, while simultaneously looking at a second document next to it so I can refer to it while writing my stuff in the first document. I hate having to scroll back and forth across Scrivener whenever I need to refer to something in a worldbuilding card/character card when doing brainstorming in an unrelated document, working on the outline, writing my chapter, etc. If I could have side by side split screens so I could avoid doing this, it would make things so much easier for me!

The new Feedback feature should provide a credit estimate before beginning, as there is no indication that it uses a large number of credits. For example, it used 15,447 credits to analyze a 1,680-word scene. I’d have avoided the feature completely had I known.

I would love to be able to collapse the traits within a Card. Sometimes there is a lot of text and it become difficult when I am looking only for something specific. Having it either be collapsible or have a Tab layout to separate the different sections would be far easier to navigate. That or be able to open the story bible on a side panel, without me having to leave my editing or current project, scroll all the way to the section I want, then have to scroll all the way back.

Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much, I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure. :( Bring back beats. Or at least let it be a choice. With scenes, anything more than 3 gets wonky. As in when I try to do more than 3 scenes, it gets cut off sometimes. The beats were better as you could do more, and add more detail without it being clumped together. Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much. I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure and 9/10 times the scenes that are created are literally reworded/copied pastes of what i was forced to write. With beats, I could just draft an idea and it just tossed what it thought I wanted to go but it would open the doors for creative possibilities. Or give us the ability to toggle between different versions of features/sudowrite. I prefer some of the older features honestly because I am someone who has ADHD. I would rather have the power to toggle sudowrite to keep beats vs scenes the separated bible vs the newer one long section. (I liked my separation) Make chatting with Higher Quality be less expensive credit wise. it’s a credit bleeder. Make 3 months / 6months subscriptions. Allow us to choose two options within chapter generator; Scenes and/or Beats. I rather miss the features of Beats because it helped created a more natural flow with integrating through scenes and dialogue, and made editing much more easy. I would create sometimes 50-100 beats to create a chapter, with the new update with muse, it’s now like 2 scenes formulating 2000+ words of useless reiteration, cliches… it just feels like a mess. I have to either heavily edit or just not use it at all. Just a lot of credits being wash down the drain. Pleeeeeease bring beats back.

Subject: Series Saga Support - Character Versions, Per-Book Roles, and Master Bible I'm writing a 50-book series saga following 20 core characters over 10 years, organized into 10 interconnected sub-series with overlapping timelines. The current Story Bible system has critical limitations for this use case: Core Issues: Character roles are global, not per-book. I cannot designate Jett as MMC in his book and supporting character in Owen's book without manually toggling tags every time I switch projects. With 20 characters appearing across 50 books in varying prominence, this is unworkable. No character versioning for aging arcs. My characters age significantly (Rowen appears at 16 in the lead magnet, is 24 in his own series). Currently I must overwrite character descriptions to reflect current age/appearance/circumstances, which destroys my ability to reference younger versions for flashbacks or continuity checks. Yes I can put some stuff in the backstory but not as detailed as having Sudo able to remember certain things that would be beneficial to character development and arc. I maintain separate documents per age that I manually swap in, but this is error-prone and Sudowrite cannot see the full character history. No master saga bible. I maintain comprehensive worldbuilding (restaurants, schools, businesses, sports teams, character relationships) that spans all books. Currently I must recreate or re-link this for each new series, even though the content is shared. Book numbering chaos. Series order doesn't accommodate parallel timelines or lead magnets that predate the "official" series start but share continuity. Requested Features: Per-book character role assignment (MMC, FMC, supporting, etc.) that persists per project Character versioning/branching: ability to maintain multiple ages/states of the same character and tag which version appears in which book A "master bible" layer that feeds into all books in a series folder without duplication Flexible series ordering that accommodates parallel timelines and prequel lead magnets Context: I've been developing this world since 2013. Sudowrite has dramatically accelerated my output (from one book every 2-3 years to 6 per year), but the Story Bible friction is becoming the bottleneck. This isn't an edge case, it's a legitimate series saga structure that many long-form writers use.

Imporant: In Claude.ai there’s something genius—this thing is called pre-response thinking. Currently, Chat—yes, the Sudo one—uses something I call stream thinking, this means Chat is thinking while it’s talking to you. This can be highly annoying because first: the messages are roughly 2x longer than what they would be with pre-response thinking; second: the responses are much less insightful, useful and just nice-to-read than they could be. Not so important: This could possibly be a toggle in the preference settings because some people might not like pre-response thinking. And if needed, could also cost credits (a bonus to using Allow-Edits or similar).

Something that is missing in Sudowrite is the option to insert a picture (for your own use or even for the AI to read it). Uploading the cover is one thing, but sometimes a picture gives context which is vital for the story. A map, a layout of a place, a character - all these things could be communicated to Sudowrite’s AI through an image created by the writer. I think it is a vital addition if you want to take Sudowrite to the next level.

Let’s make it possible to easily to upload documents that can help a writer well write if there is supporting documents of previous books as reference material, historical documents for those that are making alternative sci-fi or history, war etc.… This way we can just upload the supporting documents that will make it easier to write the background with more supporting documents as well as make the settings easier to understand. If let’s say we have a soldier from World War 1, isekied or reincarnated into Rome we will need some documents that support World War 1 soldiers, but the primary amount will need to be from ancient Rome and if we want to add magic then documents with magic systems that the writer wants will be used and for any enemies they want to use as well.

You can probably tell at a glance: I’m not fluent in English. In the age of AI systems, however, I would have expected it to be possible to automatically translate content into the user’s preferred language. I find this particularly unfortunate when it comes to the user interface itself. You work with so many AI systems—wouldn’t it be possible to automatically adapt texts, descriptions, and feature explanations to the user’s language? Right now, I have to regularly send screenshots of the Sudowrite interface to ChatGPT so that someone can explain to me what new features are even supposed to do. This is frustrating because I pay a lot of money every month for a tool whose features I often barely understand without additional help. You have the technical capabilities to change this. Please do so. May the force be with you.

I noticed that all text I copy into a Character or Worldbuilding trait or the description of a Chapter Outline is automatically interpreted as some form of markdown: all excess spacing is removed and every * and _ is converted into italicized or bold text if it’s happens to wrap around anything else (*word* turns into word; **word** turns into word; name_connected_by_underlines turns into nameconnectedby_underlines) It’s really hard to organize my own stuff when my formatting breaks every time I copy and paste text.

Advanced features, Branching routes, Character drift, Anti hijacking, Author Bible, Negative prompts, as well as Larger synopsis, Larger brain dump would be helpful I have been using sudowrite for a while. I noticed it injects a few things even when told not to do such. In order in which they are needed. — Top Priority Requests If I could only have five improvements, they would be: (the first three are essential) Character Drift Detection Anti-Story Hijack / Author Intent Lock Author Bible / Director Profile Route Separation & Franchise Mode Expansion Instead of Rewrite These five features alone would eliminate most of the friction I experience when using Sudowrite. — The remaining suggestions support or expand on these core needs. — Section 1: Character Integrity, Character Drift Detection, Character Knowledge Tracking, Character Motivation Matrix, Character Sacred Cows, Relationship Engine - Section 2: Author Control Anti Story Hijack, Author Intent Lock, Obedience Score, Expand Don't Redirect, Director Authority Override - Section 3: Creator Calibration Author Bible, Director Profile, Author Compatibility, Preference Learning Section - 4: Large Universe Tools Franchise Mode,. Route Separation, Timeline Visualizer, Faction Simulator, Consequence Tracker - Section 5: Story Analysis Theme Tracker, Story Pressure Meter, Scene Purpose Detector, What Is Missing Tool - The largest limitation of current AI writing tools is not prose quality. The limitation is creator alignment. Modern AI can often understand what happened in a story. It struggles to understand why the creator made those choices, what the creator values, and what kind of story the creator is trying to tell. Many of the requests below are ultimately attempts to solve that alignment problem. - 1.So it needs Character Drift Detection . AI often collapses characters toward archetypes. AI checks: Does this dialogue sound like this character? is this an action this character would do? Is this what this character would think or feel? (Ai often injects morality into characters that operate with a different morality or personal codes. making characters feel guilty when they should not, make them do something they would not, also making them bland and too generic. Ai often tries to normalize things, no matter the characters ethnicity or whatever it also turns it to modern western norms. For instance drinking coffee when they should be drinking tea, eating medium rare steak when the character is forbidden to do such,. listening to rock when they should be listening to r & b, dressing in a suit when it should be a kimono etc.) (also inserting thinks that are anti kink, he shouldn't like her and he feels guilty about such blah blah blah when the character obviously is into it from what the prompt says or character profile does.) That being said the characters should be separated by arcs/seasons. arc 1 jim is not the same as arc `5 jim. the way it is currently set up is fine for a novella but not a very long novel or series like battle through the heavens or soul land or naruto etc or a korean or chinese drama. - Character DNA Lock Example: Sofia playful, territorial, future focused, subtle, rarely direct, slow burn. emotionally intelligent - Jacky practical, competent, independent, not socially compliant, dark humor - Before generation: AI checks: Does this dialogue sound like this character? If confidence low: Warning: Character Drift Detected - Character Voice Analyzer (maybe even an authot profile to understand how the author writes and thinks,etc across different novels/series. for instance you can always tell a movie that is made my a certain director, you can tell an art style of an artist, you can tell a book written from a certain writer it doesn't even have to be the same universe but you just know because it's distinct.) I constantly complain: Nobody sounds like me. AI makes me uptight. AI makes me robotic. - Feature: Upload: (chats, dialogue, scenes) AI learns: sentence length, humor style, pacing, profanity rate, sarcasm - Then score outputs: 42% Me, or 88% Me, etc - Contradiction Detector - Example: Chapter 20: Jim hates alcohol. - Chapter 180: Jim orders whiskey. - AI: ⚠ Possible contradiction detected. - Relationship Engine - This would massively help romance. Current AI: Character affection feels random. Needs Relationship Tracking - For Instance - John and Martha - Trust 90/100, Attraction 95/100, Fear 5/100, Loyalty 98/100, Resentment 3/100 - Then AI can generate scenes consistent with relationship state. - Emotional Progression Tracking AI often creates emotional teleportation. - Example: - Chapter 1 "I hate you." Chapter 2 "I love you." - Need: Emotional Graph Track Across story. Shows progression per chapter or arc: trust, affection, resentment, fear, attraction, lust, etc - My issue isn't so much : AI writes badly in a generic way. The issue is AI rewrites my character's cognition, and that's much worse in many cases. - Example 1: Oreimo I write: Jimmy watches Oreimo and loves it. - AI writes: "Even though it was controversial and problematic, Jimmy enjoyed it." 🤦🏾‍♂️ - The AI has inserted a thought that doesn't belong to Jimmy. The problem isn't the words "controversial" or "problematic." The problem is: Who is thinking that? If Jimmy doesn't care about public opinion, social controversy, Twitter morality, etc., then why is that sentence in his head? That's not Jimmy's thought. That's the AI's thought. - Example 2: Romance I write: Character A likes age-gap relationships. AI writes: "Despite knowing society would disapprove..." Why? Who said they cared? I never established that. The AI smuggled in a value judgment. - Example 3: Violence I write: Vigilante kills corrupt politician. AI writes: "Though he knew violence wasn't the answer..." Says who? The character? The author? The AI? Many times it's the AI. The Core Problem is AI often confuses: Character Perspective with Narrator Perspective with Social Consensus Perspective with I Safety Perspective and merges them. What I want is Cognitive Purity . Meaning: If Saria thinks something: Only Saria's values. If Jack thinks something: Only Jack's values. If Sofia thinks something: Only Sofia's values. No contamination. Public/AI doesn't get an opinion on their thoughts. What AI keeps doing AI writes: Character thought plus AI disclaimer plus Western moral commentary plus Public opinion all blended together in a shit smoothie from hell. Which creates fake thoughts and conflicting dialogue. the story should have conflict not the author/writer. - Why it happens AI is trained on: reviews, articles, social media, journalism, academic writing, Those sources constantly say things like: controversial, problematic, toxic, unhealthy, inappropriate, concerning, harmful. So the AI develops a habit: Whenever topic X appears: Insert commentary Y. My Actual Complaint is not AI disagrees with me It's, AI makes characters disagree with themselves. That's a very different complaint. - Characters Value Lock Example: Jimmy: Does not care about public opinion. Does not care about social controversy. Does not care about trends. Does not seek approval. So When generating thoughts: AI is forbidden from inserting: controversial, socially unacceptable, people would judge, despite what society thinks, unless Jimmy is explicitly thinking about those things. - Narrator Contamination Detector AI highlights: Warning: This sentence appears to contain narrator values not established in character profile. Example: "Even though Oreimo was controversial..." Flag. Controversial according to who? Perspective Purity Mode Everything generated must originate from: Character, Narrator, World and be labeled internally. So AI cannot secretly inject: Twitter's opinion and etc. 😂 - Bias Exposure Tool Before generation: AI reports: Potential assumptions detected: Western moral framework, Modern social norms, Democracy preference, Anti-violence assumption, Monogamy preference, Egalitarian assumption Then I decide: Whether to Keep or Remove not the Ai. I think this category of problem annoys me more than prose quality. I can fix bad prose, I can expand scenes, I can rewrite dialogue. What drives me crazy is when the AI quietly changes: what a character values, what a character fears, what a character finds attractive, what a character considers right or wrong, because that's no longer writing assistance. That's the AI altering the psychology of the character. And for a story built heavily around character logic, that's a much bigger failure than awkward prose. 😭🫱🏾‍🫲🏿 - Character Knowledge Tracking AI constantly leaks information. Example: Reader knows. Author knows. Character shouldn't know. Yet AI writes them knowing it. Need: Knowledge States Saria knows: A, B, C She Doesn't know: D, E, F AI checks before writing. - - - - 2.Anti story hijack I'd also have had ai hijack my story and completely ignore and change it completely when it didn't like it and I wasn't even using muse at the time, it was one of the ones that are supposed to follow instructions well. I write: Tyrone kills the villain. AI writes: Tyrone spares the villain and learns forgiveness. 🤡 Bro, where did forgiveness come from? - Or: I write: Character refuses apology. AI writes: Character realizes holding grudges only hurts themselves. Excuse me? That wasn't even the scene. 😂 - Or the infamous: I write: Character wants revenge. AI writes: Character discovers revenge isn't the answer. Who asked? - This isn't even a writing quality issue.. It's an authorial override issue. The AI is no longer helping. It's taking the wheel.: Author Intent Lock Before generation AI must identify:. Story Facts, Cannot change. Character Facts Cannot change. Scene Goals Cannot change. - Optional Details Can improvise. - Example: Story Goal: Tyrone executes corrupt governor. Locked. AI can generate: dialogue, atmosphere, reactions, consequences AI cannot generate: Tyrone forgives governor. Story Hijack Detector Before output: AI compares: User Intent: Revenge scene. Output: Redemption scene. ⚠ Warning: Output diverges significantly from requested narrative direction. - Obedience Score AI gives itself: Following Instructions: 94%, Character Accuracy: 88%, Canon Accuracy: 97%, Narrative Deviation: 3% If Narrative Deviation spikes: Flag it. - "Expand, Don't Redirect" Current AI often does: User: Go east. AI: Actually west is better. 😭 - You need: User: Go east. AI: Here's 3,000 words of east. Not: Let me explain why east is problematic. - No Hidden Agenda Mode AI should not secretly optimize for: redemption, forgiveness, compromise, therapy, safety, social approval, political correctness, audience comfort unless explicitly instructed. Because that's where a lot of the hijacking originates. The model thinks: This outcome is healthier. And starts steering. - Director Authority Override Simple rule: When conflict exists between: Author intent and Model preference Author wins. Every time. No exceptions. Expansion Instead of Rewrite I often have: ,3-5 paragraphs for the scenes for the chapter. I don't want replacement. I want: 3000-5000 words expanding it. - Preserve Everything Expand: add scenes, add dialogue, add jokes, add conflicts (that is reasonable according to the characters and situations) bad example goku from dbz having to route around a giant crab because the crab is blocking the best path. Giant crab is an obstacle for a regular human not someone who can blow up mountains. Likewise a streetfighter is a problem for an amateur or even a just became pro fighter. but not for mike tyson or ip man. - (also it often fades to black, summarizes, montages, or cuts of mid thought, there is also a problem with scenes bleeding into the next one) Ai should Never remove original content. nor change the wording as it often makes it softer, sanitizes it, western moralizes it, or cuts it off . - Negative Prompt Locks I complain about these constantly. Example: Never: moralize, lecture, force redemption, make characters stupid, create instant romance, create therapy dialogue, create Marvel banter, create generic chosen one speeches, Permanent project-level bans. - Director Mode Instead of: Write the scene. I tell AI: Jim is 70% annoyed., Saria is hiding jealousy. Neither admits feelings. Scene goal = increase tension. No confession. No resolution. AI follows direction. Like actors receiving notes. Not co-writing the plot. - It isn't that AI can't write. It's: AI keeps deciding it knows my story better than I do. 😂 And for somebody building a big multi arc story that has cause and effect and intricate plots and complex phycology and philosophy that's infuriating. If Dre kills someone: He kills them. If Mei loves someone: She loves them. If Jill manipulates someone: She manipulates them. If Oreimo is a favorite show: It's a favorite show. If my character daydreams about something that will make a monk repent let them daydream about it, he isn't a monk. The AI's job is to help write the story. Not quietly rewrite the story into one it personally prefers. That's the difference between an assistant and a backseat driver. - - - - 3.Personal AI Calibration Profile (Director Profile System) - Problem. Current AI writing systems treat every user as roughly the same person. Even when they remember story details, they rarely remember: what the author likes, what the author hates, what the author consistently edits out, what the author repeatedly asks for, what the author considers good writing, what the author considers bad writing As a result: The AI may understand the story, but it does not understand the creator. This creates constant friction. The user spends more time correcting the AI than creating. The AI repeatedly generates: unwanted themes, unwanted character behavior, unwanted moral assumptions, unwanted pacing, unwanted dialogue styles, unwanted romance structures, unwanted plot resolutions, The problem is not lack of intelligence., The problem is lack of calibration. - Proposed Solution ( 2 different solutions) Author Bible (Global Creator Profile) - - - Option A Problem Current Story Bibles remember the story. They do not remember the storyteller. As a result, AI repeatedly generates content that conflicts with the creator's preferences, values, style, pacing, philosophy, and creative goals. The creator often spends more time correcting the AI than creating. The issue is not lack of information about the story. The issue is lack of information about the author. - Proposed Solution Author Bible A project-wide profile that sits above Story Bibles. Story Bibles answer: What is the story? Who are the characters? What happened? Author Bible answers: What kind of creator is writing this? What do they consistently want? What do they consistently reject? What are their creative values? What aesthetics do they like? What beliefs do they have? etc The Author Bible applies globally across all projects unless overridden. - Philosophy Section Examples: Morality should be practical rather than preachy. Characters may hold beliefs different from society. Consequences matter more than moral lessons. Avoid inserting narrator judgment. Do not assume modern Western values are correct. Allow conflicting viewpoints to exist. - Character Philosophy Section Examples: Characters should think according to their own values. Do not insert AI values into character thoughts. Do not force redemption arcs. Do not force therapy language. Do not force emotional vulnerability. Do not make characters seek social approval unless established. - Romance Preferences Examples: Slow burn preferred. Attraction matters. Loyalty matters. Tension matters. Avoid instant love. Avoid generic romance dialogue. Avoid forced emotional confessions. - Combat Preferences Examples: Competence matters. Strategy matters. Environment usage matters. Consequences matter. Avoid characters forgetting abilities. Avoid plot armor. Avoid artificial stupidity. - Dialogue Preferences Examples: Prefer subtext. Prefer sarcasm. Prefer teasing. Prefer realistic conversations. Avoid exposition dumping. Avoid corporate language. Avoid therapy-speak. Avoid generic inspirational speeches. - Content Preferences Examples: Creator enjoys: gray morality, philosophical discussions, taboo subjects, political complexity, relationship complexity, long-term character development - Creator dislikes: moral lectures, generic heroes, forced positivity, simplistic villains, social media morality, trend-based writing - AI Red Flags When detected, AI should warn the user. Examples: Character value contamination, Narrator moralizing, Generic redemption arc, Forced compromise, Social-consensus framing, Story hijacking, Character acting out of established personality Global Negative Prompt System Permanent project-level bans. - Examples: Never automatically insert: "controversial", "problematic", "toxic", "society would disapprove", "violence is not the answer", "revenge isn't worth it" unless explicitly requested or supported by character perspective. - Author Compatibility Scoring Every generation receives: Author Compatibility: 92%. Story Compatibility: 95% , Character Compatibility: 96%, Potential Author Conflicts: 2 This allows users to quickly identify likely issues before reading thousands of generated words. - - Why This Matters Story Bibles teach AI about the story., Author Bibles teach AI about the storyteller. Both are necessary. The AI should understand not only: "What happened in the world?" but also: "What kind of creator built this world?" The goal is not to make every author write the same way. The goal is to help the AI adapt itself to each creator's unique style, philosophy, preferences, and creative vision. Personal AI - - - Calibration Profile Option B - A long-term learning system that studies the creator rather than only studying the story. The AI should learn from: uploaded writing, uploaded notes, chat history, revisions, accepted outputs, rejected outputs, corrections, editing patterns, feedback history Over time it constructs a detailed Director Profile. Not: "What would a generic author want?" But: "What would THIS author want?" - Director Profile The AI builds a profile containing: Narrative Preferences - Examples: prefers slow burn, prefers buildup before payoff, dislikes instant romance, dislikes forced redemption, dislikes fake misunderstandings, dislikes plot convenience, dislikes hero speeches - Dialogue Preferences Examples: prefers short dialogue, prefers indirect communication, prefers sarcasm. prefers teasing, prefers subtext, dislikes exposition dumping, dislikes therapy-speak. dislikes corporate language - Romance Preferences Examples: slow development, strong loyalty, attraction matters, chemistry matters, tension matters, buildup matters, dislikes instant emotional intimacy, dislikes generic romance scripts - Combat Preferences Examples: tactical, choreographed, resourceful, environment usage, competence focused, dislikes stupidity, dislikes characters forgetting abilities, dislikes plot armor Character Preferences - Examples: characters should feel distinct, characters should not merge into archetypes, characters should maintain their values, characters should not suddenly become morality mouthpieces, characters should remain psychologically consistent - Philosophy Preferences Examples: consequence focused, practical. reality based, skeptical of authority, skeptical of consensus , dislikes moral lectures, dislikes ideological preaching, prefers ambiguity over simplistic answers Preference Learning The system should continuously update itself., Every correction becomes training data. - Example: User repeatedly removes: "controversial", "problematic", "unhealthy", "society disapproves" AI learns: This author does not want social-consensus framing inserted into character thoughts. Future occurrences become less likely. Style Learning The AI should learn: What gets accepted, What gets modified, What gets deleted, What gets regenerated Over time the profile becomes increasingly accurate. The goal is alignment. - Profile Confidence Levels The system tracks certainty. Example: Slow Burn Romance Confidence: 99%, Direct Moral Lessons Confidence: 2%, Character Consistency Confidence: 98%, Instant Redemption Arcs Confidence: 5%. This allows the AI to understand which preferences are foundational and which are flexible. - Director Mode When enabled: The AI generates content through the Director Profile. Instead of: "Write the most generally appealing scene." The AI asks: "What would this creator most likely approve of?" The goal becomes: Maximum Compatibility rather than Maximum Generic Appeal. Compatibility Score. Every generation receives: Director Compatibility: 91%, Character Accuracy: 95%, Canon Accuracy: 97%, Narrative Alignment: 93%, Potential Drift Warnings: 2, This allows users to identify problems before reading thousands of words. - Why This Matters: Most AI systems focus on learning the story. Very few focus on learning the storyteller. For creators with highly specific tastes, worldbuilding systems, philosophies, pacing preferences, relationship structures, and character logic, this creates enormous inefficiency. The AI becomes a constant source of correction. A properly calibrated Director Profile would dramatically reduce: rewrites, corrections, character drift, story hijacking, moral contamination, pacing errors, style mismatches. The AI would stop generating content for a generic audience and start generating content compatible with the specific creator. - The objective is not purely imitation but moreso The objective is understanding. The better the system understands the creator, the less time the creator spends fighting the AI and the more time they spend building their world. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4.Route seperation. So in novels like goosebumps, choice based novels, or visual novels. There are routes that lead to different storylines or scenes. It would be nice if sudowrite is capable of branching routes. - Scene Purpose Detector AI often writes scenes with no purpose. Need: Before generation: Select: Character Bonding, Setup, Payoff, Reveal, Combat, Seduction, Investigation, Worldbuilding AI keeps scene focused. - Franchise Mode Current AI assumes: One book. - I need: Universe Structure The legend of ---- - Storyline A - Storyline B - Storyline C - Timeline A - Timeline B - Side stories - Games - Comics - VN routes - AI understands: These are connected properties inside one universe. Not one manuscript. Kind of like star wars, mcu, game of thrones, companion novels, etc. and sometimes they may converge in a novel. - Production Pipeline Mode This is where I think Sudowrite could become unique. Take one scene and output: Light Novel version Comic version VN version Game mission version Animation/Anime/Donghua storyboard version Live action drama version Same scene. Different medium. For someone building a franchise rather than a novel, that would be a massive force multiplier. - Timeline Visualizer I have enough storylines that linear text becomes annoying. - Need: Interactive Timeline Shows: centuries, eras, seasons, route splits, character births, wars, major events Like a giant strategy-game timeline. I immediately spot things like: Wait... this character wasn't even born yet why are they here in this scene or being mentioned. - I also add chapters in between arcs. or side stories or filler that takes place in between that don't alter events afterwards. - Faction Simulator Fantasy genres has tons of groups. Current AI: Only focuses on whoever is on screen. Need: Faction Dashboard Track: goals, resources, allies, enemies, active plans Then: What happens if this person disappears? Simulation updates. - Consequence Tracker Characters act like events never happened. Need: Event Memory, Example: Bob kills governor. Consequences: city panic, investigations, bounty, political shifts AI remembers. Scene Heat Map Color code story./ or label Examples: Blue:exposition Red: conflict Green: romance Purple: mystery You instantly see: Damn, 8 chapters without tension. - Scene Search By Concept Not words. Concepts. Search: jealousy scenes, loyalty tests, betrayals, training arcs, slow-burn moments Across all notes. "What Is Missing?" Tool One of the smartest AI features possible. Instead of: What's here? Ask: What's missing? Example output: No antagonist pressure, No romantic setback, No explanation for power jump, Missing payoff for chapter 7 setup Smart Retcon Assistant For long-running projects. I decide: This character now survives. AI identifies: affected chapters, dialogue changes, future consequences, Instead of manually hunting everything. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MISC Sudowrite often understands the event. It does not understand the purpose of the event. For example: - Jax kills people because Jax thinks that way. - Jade refuses because Jade thinks that way. - Pira tells stories because she has an agenda. - Kano's simulations exist to test psychology. - Marco/Yumi exist to explore corruption, competence, rivalry, attraction, etc. - But AI often rewrites the motive behind the action. It needs a Purpose Lock - Example: Jax kills conspirators. AI understands: Jax killed them, But often misses: WHY Jax killed them. - Purpose Lock would store: Narrative purpose, Character purpose, Emotional purpose, Philosophical purpose Then prevent drift. - Character Motivation Matrix My stories are heavily driven by motivation. Not events. Examples: - Pira: teaching, exposing reality, showing perspective - Jax: justice, loyalty, protection, practicality Jade: ideals, mercy, principle - Kano: testing, observation, adaptation - The AI should understand: What does this character optimize for? not merely: What happened last chapter? Story Engine Documentation Many of my stories run on recurring engines. - Examples: A certain forbidden tale - Engine: bond, temptation, loyalty, slow burn, patience - Corrupted badges - Engine:corruption, infiltration, trust, competence, hidden agendas - Jax Engine: justice, judgment, power, responsibility, conflict between ideals and reality - AI constantly loses these engines. I need a place to define: What makes this story work? - Character Sacred Cows - This one would save massive headaches. - Example: - Jax: NEVER: seeks approval, becomes generic hero, becomes therapist, apologizes for existing, becomes socially compliant - Jade: NEVER: becomes like Jax, starts enjoying killing, loses compassion - Pira: NEVER: becomes naïve, loses manipulation skills These are not preferences. These are identity anchors. - Theme Tracker - My universe is theme-heavy. The AI often chases plot and loses theme. Need: Track themes such as: freedom, loyalty, power, responsibility, corruption, betrayal, family, autonomy T - hen show: Theme utilization this chapter. T - raining Data Blacklist This one is huge. I complain about Marvel dialogue, therapy dialogue, corporate dialogue, social media morality . I should be able to ban style contamination. Example: Do not emulate: Marvel, CW drama, Tumblr discourse, Twitter morality, generic YA - This is different from a negative prompt. It's: Never use these training tendencies. Story Pressure Meter - In many of my stories things are always moving. Training, Threats, Tournaments, Conspiracies, Gods, Demons, Political forces, Aliens. AI often writes: Characters talking., Characters talking. Characters talking. - - Need: Pressure Meter: antagonist pressure, environmental pressure, emotional pressure, survival pressure, Show if story tension is collapsing. - Lore Compression Layer My power system is enormous. Most AI gets overwhelmed. Need: AI automatically creates: short version, medium version, full version. Then chooses the appropriate one. Otherwise you get context overload. - Director Notes - Jax: More Jackie Chan than Superman. More practical than idealistic. Dark humor. Doesn't care about popularity. - Pira: Mysterious but playful. Teacher first. Never generic wise old mentor. These notes often matter more than stats. Scene Energy Control My scenes swing between: comedy, romance, tragedy, action, philosophy AI often flattens them. Need: Current Scene Energy: 40% tension, 20% humor, 30% mystery, 10% affection Maintain ratio.

I would be nice to have options for exporting documents such as selecting export using publisher guidelines to reduce time consuming task of setting up the document. Also, asking the export process to delete scene titles such as Scene 1, 2, 3… from exported document.
