SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of weak story momentum by generating a complete plot-and-hook plan for long-form web novels, including both the overall narrative rhythm and episode-level cliffhangers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-mode plot planning: Generates either a full-structure “big design” (whole-novel narrative arc, catharsis rhythm, monetization transition strategy) or an episode-focused “small design” (detailed plots and per-episode hook points) on 25-episode units.
  • Catharsis rhythm mapping: Produces a cadence plan that balances tension and release using small (5–10) and large (25–50) catharsis beats.
  • Monetization transition strategy: Plans free-to-paid pacing (e.g., 1–25 free setup and high-tension immediate follow-through around the 25th episode).
  • Episode hook engineering: Ensures every episode has a strong conclusion hook (e.g., cliffhanger/reversal/ticket-pull continuation) plus guidance for foreshadowing management and payoff timing.

Quick Start

Use the plot-hook skill to generate a small-design plan for episodes 1–25 based on your existing big-design plot and character sheet.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan web novel plot structure and episode hooks for serialization?▼

Web novel plot structure planning generates a complete narrative arc table and episode-level hook templates, ensuring long-form serialization maintains story momentum through structured cliffhangers and catharsis rhythm mapping.

What is catharsis rhythm mapping and how does it balance tension in web novels?▼

Catharsis rhythm mapping creates a cadence plan that balances tension and release using small catharsis beats every 5 to 10 episodes and large catharsis beats every 25 to 50 episodes to sustain reader engagement.

How do I design a free-to-paid monetization transition strategy for serialized fiction?▼

Monetization transition strategy plans free-to-paid pacing by structuring episodes 1 to 25 as free setup with high-tension immediate follow-through placed around the 25th episode to drive paid conversions.

Can I generate episode-by-episode cliffhanger templates for a 25-episode web novel segment?▼

Episode-by-episode cliffhanger templates can be generated for 25-episode segments, providing detailed plots, hook points, foreshadowing management, and payoff timing for each individual episode.

Do I need an existing character sheet and big-design plot before generating small-design episode hooks?▼

Generating small-design episode hooks requires your existing big-design plot and character sheet as inputs to produce detailed per-episode plot-and-hook templates aligned with the overall narrative arc.
