Quick Start
- Paste a recent passage into Story Content, or enter an opening.
- Choose a writing style and output length.
- Select Start Writing; prose appears as it streams.
The workbench has Basic, Pro, and Workflow modes. Workflow uses your World Bible and requires a signed-in account and a current chapter.
Each request accepts up to 3,000 characters of input. Output length on the English site is measured in words. For direct continuation, use recent relevant prose; Workflow also reads your chapter outline and saved writing memory.
Adjust the input, preset, prose style, global tags, or output length and generate again. Pro and Workflow also offer a Plot Guide for chapter direction, required events, and forbidden developments.
Basic is available without an account. Pro, Workflow, World Bible, writing memory, saved history, credits, and account features require sign-in.
Pro Features
Pro is useful for a single chapter, a chosen writing preset, and longer prose. Select a built-in model in Advanced Parameters; the system handles parameters for that model and stage.

Workflow adds chapter planning and memory maintenance to these controls.
- Preset: the main narrative approach or genre, such as Progression Fantasy or Thriller.
- Prose style: one overall expression style applied to the preset.
- Global tags: long-term genre, setting, mechanics, structure, relationship, or protagonist choices; select up to five.
Tags with branches ask for a more specific direction. They do not replace the chapter outline or Plot Guide. Each language retains its own presets, tags, and writing instructions.
Built-in paid models usually consume site credits. A model marked free costs zero credits but can still count against its daily successful-use limit. English credits have a separate balance; English paid credits plans are not currently open.
Longer prose and more constraints can require more model processing. Workflow adds planning, writing, optional checking and polishing, and memory maintenance. The page shows the current stage and waiting time; keep it open during generation.
- Chapter direction: the overall arc of this passage.
- Key events / must happen: facts or plot points that must appear.
- Forbidden: developments or material you do not want.
Use this for concrete facts and boundaries. Let presets, prose style, tags, the World Bible, and the chapter plan guide expression and pacing.
- Pro Model: direct Pro prose.
- Planner: chapter plans in Workflow.
- Writer: Workflow prose.
- Maintainer: chapter and narrative memory updates.
Model choices show cost tiers and remaining daily uses. Sampling, temperature, and reasoning parameters are handled by the system for the chosen model and stage.
After Pro prose is complete, an optional polishing action may be available. It checks the text before generating a polished version. Switch between original and polished versions; the original is retained.
Settings → General lets you run Checker for Workflow only, Workflow and Pro, Pro only, or neither. Checking and polishing can each consume credits or a free model use. They may miss issues and do not guarantee publication quality.
Presets are language-specific. Short Fiction is a Chinese preset that permits an empty input and disables World Bible mode; it is not one of the English presets. For English, use an available preset and supply the opening or direction relevant to your story.
World Bible
Manage world settings, characters, items, factions, locations, outlines, and writing memory. Workflow uses Planner → Writer → optional polishing → Maintainer to support continuity between chapters.
Retrieval can recall relevant saved card snapshots, chapter memory, and narrative memory before Planner. It supplements the plan; it does not replace manually selected cards or index full prose or future outlines.
Retrieval is currently enabled for Chinese Workflow only. The English setting does not enable the Chinese vector service. English Workflow continues to use selected cards and saved memory according to chapter position.
For Chinese Workflow, Settings → General can turn retrieval off for generation; background index maintenance continues. Retrieval is experimental and can fail without blocking core writing.
Yes. Create chapters and mark one as current before generating. Chapter memory, recent prose, narrative threads, character states, and relationships follow chapter order to reduce accidental future spoilers. Use Basic or direct Pro for a temporary trial without chapter setup.
| Item | Pro | Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Use | One-off or single chapter | Serial fiction and chapter progression |
| Flow | Pro prose, optional polishing | Planner, Writer, optional polishing, Maintainer |
| Context | Input, preset, style, tags, Plot Guide | Also cards, outline, and writing/narrative memory |
| State tracking | Off | Suggested card and narrative changes |
| Chapter memory | Not generated | Saved after completion confirmation |
| Usage | Actual stage usage | Actual usage recorded separately per stage |
Settings → General offers 1, 2, or 3 plans. With automatic writing off, choose a plan before Writer begins.
Automatic writing uses one plan and skips plan selection and prose-edit confirmation, proceeding through writing and memory maintenance. Turn it off when you want to review each step.
On its first use for generation, a World Bible saves the preset, prose style, tags, and tag branches. Later chapters keep these choices for consistency. For a different story, create a new World Bible; for a temporary style trial, turn World Bible off.
After signing in, open My World Bibles from the account menu. Create a new one or select an existing one. Cards, outlines, memory, and locked writing choices are independent; check the active World Bible before writing.
In the world settings editor, use the AI world-building action. You can give a genre, background, or relationship preference, or generate without one. Review and revise the result before using it in chapters.
Add recurring protagonists, relationships, important items, factions, and special locations before serial writing. A one-off trial does not need a complete World Bible.
Maintainer analyzes approved prose and suggests new cards or changes to existing entries. Apply the relevant changes or ignore suggestions. Keep cards concise: identity, personality, appearance, rules, and current state matter more than copying entire passages.
Writing Memory
- Chapter memory: structured events, character changes, and outcomes from completed chapters.
- Recent prose: saved paragraphs from the previous completed chapter for voice and continuity.
- Narrative memory: foreshadowing, callbacks, promises, mysteries, character states, relationships, and next-reading cues.
Memory follows chapter order. Returning to an earlier chapter prevents later memory from being injected into it.
After writing and maintenance, Workflow asks you to confirm changes, memory, and chapter completion. Confirmed completed chapters become stable memory for later chapters.
Open My World Bible → Writing Memory → Clear Writing Memory. The action cannot be undone.
Create a new World Bible instead of reusing the old one. This keeps cards, outlines, memory, narrative threads, and writing choices separate.
The page shows up to 20 recent chapter-memory entries. Generation uses completed chapters before the current chapter and clips long context; recent prose primarily comes from the previous completed chapter. English and Chinese context limits remain language-specific.
Story Outline
In My World Bible → Outline, add chapters, edit descriptions, arrange their order, and mark the chapter you are writing as current.
Done: confirmed complete and available as stable later context.
Current: the chapter Planner and Writer work on.
Pending: a future chapter whose key developments should not appear early.
Completion makes approved prose, chapter memory, and narrative state stable context for the next chapter. Keep the chapter current while revising or regenerating it.
Available memory is recalculated for that chapter position to exclude future content. Deleting or reverting completed chapters may also reset generation data associated with later chapters.
Account Management
Open Profile → Account Info → Edit on the username row, then save.
Open Profile → Account Info → Change on the email row. Confirm the link sent to the new email, then sign in with that address. The confirmation link lasts 15 minutes; after requesting again, use the newest email.
Select the camera icon on your Profile avatar and choose a local image. The page processes it for the circular avatar.
Open Profile → Account Info → Change on the password row to request a reset email. A successful reset revokes existing sessions; sign in again with the new password.
Choose Forgot Password on the sign-in page and enter the registered email. Reset links last 15 minutes, can be used successfully once, and are replaced by a new request. Check spam if the email does not arrive.
Request a password reset and set a new password. This updates the old protection parameters so you can sign in again.
Open Profile → Danger Zone → Delete Account. Sign-in stops immediately; the account and related data are removed within three months and cannot then be recovered.
Credits & Plans
English credits have their own starter grant and balance. A custom-API role does not consume site credits; roles using built-in models still consume credits or free-model uses according to their actual stage usage.
The estimate before generation is a balance and availability check, not an advance charge.
- Each stage checks the selected model's availability and daily uses.
- Paid stages settle credits after successful output and usage return.
- Free stages cost zero credits but count successful model uses.
- Pro writing and Workflow planning, writing, and maintenance are recorded separately.
- Optional checking and polishing may add separate usage.
A provider failure or invalid output is not normally a successful call. For a suspected billing error, check the ledger and submit feedback.
Open Check-in from the account menu to claim the available daily reward. Rewards follow the balance and eligibility returned by the server; switching interface language does not transfer credits between pools.
Invite rewards for English credits are not currently available. Invite eligibility and any other rewards follow the existing site rules; Chinese promotional amounts do not become English credit rewards.
English paid credits plans are not currently open. The existing World Bible capacity product remains available: one additional slot for ¥10. See Profile and checkout for the actual entitlement and order status; do not use Chinese credits-package prices for the English pool.
Troubleshooting
The network or provider may be busy, or the model may be slow to return its first passage. Stop and retry, or choose another model. If it persists, send the time and selected model through Feedback & Suggestions.
- Normal end: the model finished.
- Output limit: the model or API reached its output cap.
- Safety, filtering, or refusal: the provider blocked some content.
- Repetition limit: possible repeated output was detected.
- Response error, tool call, or unknown reason: the provider returned an unusual state.
Review incomplete prose and retry or change the model when appropriate. Stop reasons are status information, not a quality guarantee.
Check the stop reason. For an output limit, use the ending as input to continue. In Workflow, keep the current chapter while continuing it. For a safety or response error, adjust the input or try another model.
Stopping cancels the active request and preliminary checks. The page attempts to restore the prior stable state; already saved history or Workflow content is not automatically deleted.
Select Use Custom API for the desired role in Advanced Parameters, then supply a supported provider, API key, and model name. Provider names identify connectable APIs. WriteFlow does not record or retain keys; after leaving or refreshing, fill them in again. Never put keys or passwords in feedback.
Account validity is approximately six months and is extended by a successful sign-in. Long-inactive accounts may be cleaned up.
After signing in, open Feedback & Suggestions in the account menu. Include the time, model, steps, stop reason, and visible error. Do not send API keys, full passwords, or unnecessary private story text.
