What is narrative arc architecture and what components does it include?▼

Narrative arc architecture is the structural skeleton of a story generated from a basic concept. It includes detailed act progression, character trajectories, subplot mapping, and thematic development to guide subsequent writing and scene outlining.

Do I need a story concept file before generating a narrative structure?▼
