5 Tips to Get Better AI-Generated Novels
The quality of AI-generated novels largely depends on the "instructions" you give it. Here are 5 tips to help you get better results.
1. Be Specific with Your Idea
Bad input:
Write a love story
Good input:
An architect and an archaeologist meet during a restoration project in Dunhuang, clash over differing views on heritage preservation, and ultimately find redemption in each other during a desert storm
The more specific, the better AI understands what you want. Add time, place, character occupations, and core conflicts.
2. Use Outline Modifications
The first generated outline may not be perfect. Don't hesitate to modify:
- "Merge chapters 3 and 4"
- "Add a traitor character"
- "Change the ending from happy to open-ended"
- "Give the protagonist a hidden secret"
Iterate until you're satisfied.
3. Choose the Right Genre
Different genres have different narrative paces:
- Mystery/Thriller — Fast-paced, layer-by-layer reveals
- Romance — Slow-paced, emotionally nuanced
- Fantasy — Medium-paced, grand worldbuilding
Match your idea with the right genre for best results.
4. Pay Attention to Character Design
Good stories are built on good characters. When reviewing the outline, focus on:
- Are personalities three-dimensional?
- Are motivations believable?
- Is there tension between characters?
If characters feel flat, make specific requests in your modifications.
5. Control Chapter Count
Beginners should start with 10 chapters. Too many chapters can reduce coherence. Try 20-30 chapter novels once you're familiar with the tool.
Master these tips and your AI novels will improve significantly. Try it now.
