SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When writing serialized novels, changing maps or stages often leads to disconnected settings, unresolved old conflicts, and new locations that feel like mere renames. This Skill enforces structured rules so every map transition introduces new environments, characters, rules, goals, and conflicts while staying linked to previous stages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Map Transition Design: Generates map files with entry conditions, exit conditions, environment rules, resources, dangers, and links between old and new maps.
  • Chapter Outline Guidance: Ensures chapters involving map changes wrap up old-map conflicts and plant hooks about new-map legends, dangers, or resources.
  • File Organization: Outputs standalone maps to 设定/地图/{地图名}.md and decides when recurring scenes deserve their own setting files.
  • Use Case: A web novel author moving the protagonist from a military camp arc into an entertainment-industry arc uses this Skill to produce a complete new-map setting document with fresh goals, pressure sources, and rules.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to design a new map transition for your story, for example: the protagonist is leaving the sect for a capital city arc, generate the new map setting file.

Frequently Asked Questions about map-progression

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a map transition in a serialized novel?

Define the new map's entry conditions, exit conditions, environment rules, resources, and dangers, then link it to the old map through factions, grudges, resource flows, or unresolved foreshadowing. Resolve the old map's core conflict at least partially before transitioning.

What should a new story map or stage include?

A new map must introduce a new environment, new characters, new rules, new goals, and new conflicts. Within the first five chapters it should establish immersion, resource objectives, and the main pressure source.

When should a recurring scene become its own setting file?

A scene should become an independent map or setting file when it recurs across multiple chapters and influences the plot. Otherwise it can remain part of the background setting documentation.

Why do map changes in novels feel like simple renames?

They fail when the map change does not alter the rules of action. A valid transition must change what the protagonist can do, raise environmental danger as status rises, and introduce genuinely new constraints and conflicts.

What chapter outline rules apply when changing maps?

The chapter outline must show closure of the old map and build expectation for the new one. Chapter-end hooks should prioritize new-map legends, dangers, or resources to pull readers forward.
