What problem does it solve?
Writers planning long-form web novels often rely on gut feeling or a single hit book when choosing topics, platforms, and audiences. This Skill grounds those decisions in current market evidence—rankings, platform differences, and comparable works—while clearly separating observed facts from interpretation and creative recommendation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-based market research: Uses web research and ingested materials to gather current signals about platforms, rankings, and audience expectations, recording source, date, and observation window.
- Structured deliverable: Produces a report covering market boundary, observed signals, audience implications, transferable story mechanisms, risks and saturation, and two or three differentiated directions.
- Canon-safe workflow: Research never mutates book canon; sources can be archived and explicitly bound to a book only when the user wants them available during chapter writing.
- Use Case: Before starting a new serialized fantasy novel, ask for a comparison of two platforms' audiences and top-ranking genres, and receive a sourced analysis with differentiated topic directions instead of a copy-the-hit formula.
Quick Start
