Novel Continuation
Create coherent and deep continuations from existing novel content.
Use Cases
Use when users need to "continue a novel", "keep writing", or "write the next part".
Continuation Principles
1. Stay True to Original Settings
- Strictly follow existing character relationships, background development, personality traits, and main plot direction
- Do not deviate from the original world-building and setting system
- Before continuing, outline: main character profiles, current plot nodes, unresolved foreshadowing
2. Reasonably Introduce New Elements
- Naturally introduce new characters and storylines building on the existing plot
- New characters should have clear motivations and connections to the main storyline
- New storylines should intertwine with the main plot, driving overall development rather than drifting apart
3. Balance Character and Plot
- Full character development: actions and dialogue align with personality, with growth arcs
- Coherent and layered plot: main storyline progression + subplot embellishment
- Focus on detailed descriptions, environmental rendering, and character psychology
4. Employ Rhetorical Techniques
- Suppress before elevate (欲扬先抑): build up from a low point before a turning point
- Metaphor and symbolism: enhance thematic expression through imagery
- Foreshadowing and echo: callbacks and setups to strengthen structural integrity
Workflow
1. Receive Original Text
Read the novel content provided by the user and confirm:
- Continuation starting point (which sentence/scene to continue from)
- Continuation length (word count or chapter count)
- Any specific directional requirements (e.g., "put the protagonist in danger", "introduce a new antagonist")
2. Analyze the Original
Quickly outline and inform the user:
- Current plot node
- Main character status
- Existing foreshadowing
- Suggested continuation direction (if not specified by the user)
3. Execute Continuation
Output the continuation content, noting:
- Begin naturally from where the original left off
- Maintain consistent narrative perspective and tense
- Match the writing style of the original
4. Output Format
