SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Draft chapters of Chinese web novels often contain OOC dialogue, plot contradictions, weak chapter-end hooks, and AI-flavored prose that fail platform review and lose readers. This Skill systematically fixes every issue flagged in the review report and elevates the draft to a publishable final version. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Issue-Driven Revision: Maps each novel-review finding (OOC, plot contradiction, platform violations, word count, dialogue ratio) to a concrete fix strategy with P0/P1/P2 priority ordering. - Dialogue & Sensory Polish: Applies a three-cut method to remove filler dialogue, inserts functional body language, converts written-style sentences to spoken Chinese, and adds purposeful five-sense description. - Hook Strengthening & Pacing: Grades chapter-end hooks (S/A/B/C), applies five reinforcement techniques, injects 1-3 internet-slang elements per chapter, and enforces paragraph/sentence rhythm rules. - Use Case: After novel-review flags a chapter for stilted dialogue and a B-grade hook, run this Skill to rewrite the flagged lines, rebuild the ending hook from existing foreshadowing, and output the finalized chapter. ## Quick Start Polish the current chapter draft using the review report from novel-review and output the final version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish a web novel chapter draft after review?

Feed the draft and the novel-review report into this Skill. It fixes all P0 issues (OOC, plot contradictions, banned words) first, then handles P1 items like word count and dialogue ratio, and finally applies P2 refinements before outputting the final chapter.

How to make AI-written dialogue sound like natural spoken Chinese?

The Skill removes filler, pleasantries, and self-explanatory lines, converts written-style phrases like "是否" and "进行" into direct spoken forms, and inserts functional body language at dialogue turns so each character's voice stays distinct.

What makes a good chapter-end hook in web novels?

Hooks are graded S/A/B/C by whether readers must click the next chapter. Weak hooks are strengthened with five techniques: information-gap compression, time cliffs, forced perspective narrowing, emotional flash-ins, and rule subversion.

Can polishing add words when a chapter is under the minimum length?

No. The Skill forbids padding with environment or sensory description. Chapters under 2200 characters are sent back to the plotting or skeleton stage to add real conflict rounds, protagonist decisions, or payoff feedback.

Does the polish step change the plot structure of the draft?

No. Polishing follows a minimal-change principle: it never adds or removes scenes or alters core event direction. Every edit is checked against the original sentence to confirm key information is preserved.
