SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing web novel chapters without a structured plot plan leads to flat conflicts, missing information reveals, and weak chapter-end hooks that lose readers. This Skill turns outline points and prior context into an executable per-chapter plot framework before any prose is drafted. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conflict Design: Selects and grades conflicts across three types (interpersonal, environmental, internal) with a cross-chapter escalation curve and anti-pattern rules. - Information Increment Planning: Enforces 1-3 new reveals per chapter across six categories (worldbuilding, character, relationship, foreshadowing, ability growth, goal change). - Structure & Hooks: Decomposes the chapter into a four-part node structure (opening, development, climax, hook) with a hard capacity gate, plus four hook types and chained foreshadowing (A→B→C) design. - Use Case: Given the outline point "Lin Ye exposes his strength at an auction" and prior-chapter context, produce a plot sheet specifying the conflict type, two information reveals, node word counts, a reversal hook, and a self-check list ready for the drafting stage. ## Quick Start Use the novel-plot skill to derive the plot framework for chapter 12 from the outline points and prior context prepared by novel-prep.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a web novel chapter before writing it?

Use a structured plot derivation that answers five outline questions, selects at least one conflict type, plans 1-3 information reveals, decomposes the chapter into opening/development/climax/hook nodes, and designs a concrete chapter-end hook before drafting any prose.

What types of conflict should a novel chapter contain?

Each chapter needs at least one of three conflict types: interpersonal conflict between characters, environmental conflict against rules or nature, or internal conflict involving an irreversible choice. Climax chapters can stack all three, and conflicts must escalate across chapters.

How many new information reveals should one chapter have?

A chapter should reveal 1 to 3 new pieces of information from six categories: worldbuilding, character, relationship, foreshadowing, ability growth, or goal change. Fewer than one fails the check; more than three dilutes reader focus.

What makes a good chapter-end hook in serialized fiction?

A good hook is one of four types: reversal, crisis, suspense, or dilemma. It must be concrete with names, objects, or actions, connect naturally to the chapter, create information asymmetry, and be answerable in the next chapter's opening.

When should a chapter not proceed to drafting?

A chapter fails the capacity gate if it has fewer than four effective plot turns, fewer than three situation or stakes changes, or no change triggered by the protagonist's active decision. In that case, return to node decomposition and add events instead of drafting.
