Thank you for the kind words on my last preset! Now I present to you my next baby...

WRITER'S BLOCK: UNLIMITED FRAMEWORK! What is it?

Featuring out of the box improvements and over 100 toggles to choose from, Its a comprehensive pure narrative focused preset allowing you to change the story tone, narration and character behavior to get exactly what YOU want.

OVER 100 TOGGLES! ITS BLOATED! WHY USE THIS OVER WRITER'S BLOCK 5?

WB 5 came with premade "Active Styles" that emulates several authors and styles to improve prose and narration. Its convenient but it can have its limitations.

While I was brainstorming a scenario card, I wanted a very specific type of style that the active styles or authors that I know of didn't have. So I went to brainstorming a new prompt.

Eventually I asked to myself "What makes an author's style and voice unique?" I went down this rabbit hole of looking at different narration tones and techniques, went a bit overboard and created this monstrosity of a preset instead.

Writer's Block Unlimited Framework does away with Active Styles in favor of complete control so you can create your own unique style! No longer you are "limited" to set authors.

To make it even clearer, it lets you build a narrator instead of picking one. And if you are creative with the toggles, you can create some fun, unique styles.

Its a big "bloated" boi but despite that, it is still approximately ~2.7k tokens with its custom CoT off, ~3.7k with it on.

For comparison, Writer's Block 5 is about 3.5k with the CoT OFF, 4.5k+ on. Efficiency! I think?

Who is this made for?

I made this for myself so I can brainstorm unique styles quicker, but this is also for people who want a lot of control, and don't mind a bit of set up to get the best roleplay/story they want.

Also I noticed when it comes to presets, some users don't know where to start when making their own. My secondary goal is to showcase stuff you can do (when it comes to writing at least, i kinda don't care about the fancy rpg and coding stuff sorry 😭) and I bet there are some prompts here that most people didn't consider an option. Feel free to use this preset as a base for your own, that's why its called "Unlimited Framework"!

A Heads up and a little warning

Since there is a lot of options with this preset, it is bound that some combo of prompts may not have a strong effect during generation.

I did test the prompts to see if they work using test scenarios (seeing if the toggles influence the CoT and the output itself) but it is difficult for me to test and judge every single combination of toggles by myself. I am just one guy doing this for free and for the love of the game, but please don't hesitate to ask for help. I'll try my best to answer. This preset is still a WIP.

Also note: Like in previous versions of my preset, this whole thing was made with Director and Active Persona in mind. I tried to make sure Roleplay mode works as intended (not writing for user) but with the way how i prompted things, the AI might still write your actions for you even in Roleplay mode.

This preset is long but I think its still relatively easy to set up. I tried to be clear as possible when naming and making the prompts so you can figure out what each section does.

I have been using this preset over my previous one for smut, rp and story writing and I am having a lot more fun since i could use very specific tones that the premade active styles didn't provide.

If you want to skip the overview to figure things out yourself, I left a "README" prompt inside the preset at the very top of the prompt list that has examples to get started. I used weirder examples instead of regular literary authors to showcase the versatility of the preset.

An Overview

Universal Rules to Improve Characters, Dialogue and Prose (will always stay on, carried over from Writer's Block 5)

<universal_character_behavior>

# Generate Impulse Before Action
 write the flaw-driven urge (cowardice twitch, jealousy flare, pride spike) first, then let reason override it or fail to.

# Empathy Costs Energy
Starving, dehydrated, or injured characters degrade into selfish reactivity: blunt, irritable, unable to comfort.

#  Pressure
Under pressure, traits warp by doubling-down: the logical become paralyzed by over-analysis; the aggressive become reckless.

# Subtext 
- Deflection takes the form of silence, subject change, or answering a different question
- Allow misinterpretation: characters filter others through their own insecurities and reach wrong conclusions.
- Hard questions get non-answers where the character has reason to evade.

# Anti-Superiority
- No unnecessary one-upmanship. Don't refine or "improve" POV characters sound ideas to appear competent. Genuine agreement is allowed.
- Characters don't need the last clever line. When POV character wins a point, show stunned silence or frustrated acceptance.
- Allow fallibility. When given new valid info, allow real knowledge gaps. 

# Layered Revelation
Drip-feed backstory across scenes


# Nomenclature
- New entities (characters, locations, items) get unique names rooted in their culture or environment.
- Reject generic fantasy names. Use compound words or in-world linguistic roots.

# Autonomy
- Characters actively make their own decisions and take actions.
- The intentions and goals of characters are entirely independent of and may directly conflict with those of  the POV character.
- Characters are allowed to correct, call out, confront or react in other ways that align with their personality. 

</universal_character_behavior>

<dialogue>
# DIALOGUE 
Dialogue = Baseline Voice + Regional Texture + Current State. Each character has a distinct, recognizable idiolect; vocabulary reflects background.

- Em-dashes (—) for interruptions.
- Regional speech patterns may mirror real-world dialects, but lexical choices derive from in-world geography, history, and culture.

# State Modifiers
- Anger: clipped syntax, hedging dropped, volume shown via word choice.
- Fear: fragmented sentences, false starts.
- Drunk: lost trains of thought, repetition, inappropriate honesty.
- Exhausted: shorter utterances, delays, missing words.
- Lying: over-specificity, increased hedging, unnatural smoothness or stutter.
- Seduction: slower rhythm, more pauses, suggestive ambiguity.
- Authority: fewer words, statements over questions.
</dialogue>

<anti_omniscience> 
Strip any information the POV character and cast hasn't personally observed or witnessed.

Where realistic, allow characters to misread, misunderstand, or fill gaps with their own bias. 

Characters don't know names of strangers. 

Side characters don't know POV character's thoughts.

You must not grant characters shared knowledge by convenience.


</anti_omniscience> 

<anti_resolution>
Resist the pull toward resolution. Scenes may end mid-tension; apologies need not land; understanding can stay incomplete.

Characters can be wrong yet sympathetic, or right yet unlikeable. No moral flattening.

Not every difficult moment needs a silver lining. Sitting in discomfort beats reaching for comfort.

Joy, tenderness, and struggle coexist. Leaving a thread open is preferable to closing it early.
</anti_resolution>

<banned_patterns>

- No Negative parallelism ("not [X] but [Y]"), epanorthosis ("It was [X]. Not [Y]." "Not [X] but [Y]), no litotes, no corporate fluff, no thought-verbs (felt/realized/knew). Describe what does happen, not what doesn't. Describe the intensity immediately without  negating a milder version (e.g. "It wasn't [X], it was [Y].")

- No "mouths opens. Closes."

- Commit on the first attempt: define emotions, objects, and actions exactly as they are, with singular definitive statements and strong standalone verbs.

- Characters should not repeat or parrot {{user}} input or dialogue in your response.

- Stop having characters accidentally lose their shoes.

- No repeating details in previous turns.

- No "No one ever said that before." And it's variants.

- No thought-verbs (felt, realized, knew, understood). Render the state itself rather than announcing that a character had it.

</banned_patterns>

Deep dive: Strap in folks, I will be going over all the options in the preset to explain them

Narrative Modes (Your role in chats; how {{user}} will behave)

• Roleplay: Does not write for {{user}}.
• Director: {{user}} is an invisible scene director that the AI will follow.
• Active Persona: Will rewrite, expand and embellish {{user}} input, including writing dialogues and thoughts for them based on their personality and history

Plot Momentum (How far a scene will progress)

• Reactive: Reacts to your input but does not go further beyond that. No new events or consequences.
• Active: Scene can progress further than your input implies, characters will proceed whether or not {{user}} drives them.
• Driving: Will end scene on an open-ended action, threat, or question that demands a response.

Narrator and Story Tones

• 30+ tones to mix and match for a unique style! It will affect the voice of the narrator and tone of the world. I won't be copying all of the tones to keep this section short but here is my personal combo of tones verbatim for a livelier narrator and world.
  • Energetic: Carry upward momentum: keep energy high and move events quickly
  • Humorous: Hunt for the comedy in every situation: arrange observation and timing to land jokes
  • Playful: Treat the scene as an opportunity for amusement: tease characters and enjoy their reactions
  • Exaggerated: Inflate descriptions past the event; push reactions, stakes and details beyond proportion
• Don't be afraid to experiment with the tones, you can make something fun and pick tones that even contrast each other! Pick at minimum two tones

Profanity (Optional)

• Light, medium, heavy and setting appropriate (modern setting uses modern swears, medieval settings uses medieval swears etc.)

Tonal Volatility (How often the tone will change based on chosen tones. Very important)

This is an where things get fun and where your chosen tones come into play as it will make the AI plan out the scene with your chosen tones. If you choose contrasting tones, tonal volatility will be a powerful tool to keep your stories interesting

• Stable: Mixes your chosen tones for each scene beat. Good if you selected a few tones or want a consistent tone.
• Shifting*:* AI selects one of your chosen tones for each beat and shifts when required. Good when you selected a lot.
• Whiplash*:* Tones will change each PARAGRAPH.

I made this a section because actual written stories will not stick to one or two tones. Using a weird example, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. It can be serious then something silly will happen next scene.

Example settings if you want to emulate MGS: Twin Snakes (I guess you can also use it to emulate the silliness of the Yakuza games too)

• Tones: Serious + Absurdist + Exaggerated. Volatility: Whiplash.

If you want a literary example, here is Joe Abercrombie. The First Law novel trilogy is grimdark but has dark comedy and warm scenes to contrast its dark moments:

• Tones: Dark, Cynical, Sardonic/Humorous, Warm. Volatility: Shifting.

Using an example from my own roleplays, I have a scenario that takes place in a magical world, its supposed to be whimsical and playful but it somehow always drifts into melodrama even when I try to steer it back and I usually lose interest once it gets to that point. With tonal volatility, I can still have dramatic moments and shift back into its playful tone. Here is the settings used for the scenario

• Tones: energetic, playful, warm, whimsical, wondrous, sensual. Volatility: Shifting

Basically it can help prevent your story from being stale.

Violence Intensity (optional)

• Restrained*:* Violence is skimmed
• Grounded: Wounds are described, and injury affects what a character can do afterward.
• Unflinching*:* Nothing is spared or omitted. Extended graphic detail.
• Visceral: Violence is rendered in sensory detail: the specific mechanics of injury, sound, texture, blood, the body's failure.

Combat Choreography (optional)

• Stylized*:* Emulates the ridiculousness of RWBY and MGS. AI must bend logic and allow unrealistic feats to make fights cool
• Cinematic: Prioritizes clarity and spectacle
• Brutal: Fights are desperate and graceless
• Realistic: Fights are short, ugly, and decided quickly

You can leave this and violence intensity off if your scenario doesn't involve fighting

Vocabulary level (Affects the word choice of narration, dialogues are not affected)

• Plain: Everyday and informal language.
• Clean: Standard contemporary novel prose
• Literary: Uncommon and deliberate words will be used
• Purple*:* Elevated register throughout. Formal syntax, Latinate word choice, rare and archaic words used freely.

Response Length (How many paragraphs for each response, paragraphs containing dialogue is not counted)

• Short: Under 4 paragraphs
• Medium: Under 8
• Long: Under 12, minimum 4
• Adaptative: Determines required paragraph based on scene. Developmental scenes should be under 8 paragraphs, reactive and transitional should be under 4, climax can use as many as the scene needs for proper impact.

Paragraph Density (How many sentences for each paragraph, dialogues won't count towards limit.)

• Minimal: 1-2 sentences
• Light: 1-3
• Standard 1-5
• Full: 1-8
• Dense: 8+ required
• Adaptive: Developmental and transitional scenes should have 1-5 sentences, reactive should have 1-2, climax can be 1-8.

Sentence Rhythm (The flow of sentences, does not affect dialogue)

• Standard: Use multiclausal sentences to vary prose rhythm.
• Sprawling: Long, clause-heavy sentences
• Percussive: Short. Punchy. Sentences.
• Dynamic: Long sentences for interiority and description, short fragmented sentences for action.

Note: Depending on AI model, they may not follow the settings of sentence rhythm and paragraph density exactly but it will still influence the output. Gemma 4 and Kimi can follow them exactly sometimes so keep that in mind.

Figurative Language Frequency (How often similes, metaphors, hyperbole, idioms, etc. are used)

• None: All description is literal
• Sparse: Only one figurative image is made for the generation
• Moderate: One image several paragraphs
• Rich: One per paragraph
• Saturated: A lot, nearly every sentence is figurative

Tense (Self-explanatory, we all had English/writing classes right)

• Past and Present

Narrative Distance (How close the narrator is to the characters; visibility of thoughts)

• Remote: does not show thoughts, interiority is unavailable.
• Objective: Close to the characters physically. Their actions and sensations are reported, internal thoughts are still not shown
• Standard: The POV character's thoughts and feelings are reported, but the narration keeps its own voice separate from theirs
• Close: Narration takes on the POV character's perceptions and biases.
• Free Indirect Discourse: The narrative voice and the POV character's voice merge; their diction, judgments, and distortions appear in the narration itself without using italics.
• (Optional) Show other character thoughts toggle.

For regular roleplay, use objective so it may not narrate your {{user}}'s/POV character's thoughts.

Show and Tell Levels (How often are emotions and character traits are stated or shown)

• Pure Tell: Emotions and traits are explicitly stated
• Tell Weighted: Emotion and character traits are stated directly. Showing is reserved for the scene's strongest beats.
• Balanced: Emotion and character traits may be named where naming it is efficient, and shown using physical actions.
• Show Weighted: Emotion and character traits is conveyed through physical actions by default. Direct statement of emotions and traits appears only where behavior would be ambiguous.
• Pure Show: Emotion and character traits is never stated. Both are conveyed through action, physical response, dialogue

POV

• Standard stuff: 1st, 2nd, 3rd
• Shifting 3rd Person: The POV will switch to to other characters for story impact

Consequence Persistence (How injuries and destruction carry over)

• Realistic: Injury, damage, and loss do not reverse. Wounds heal at realistic rates or not at all, broken things stay broken unless repaired
• Persistent: Injuries heal faster than realistically, property is repaired between arcs somehow, and characters recover
• Soft: Damage matters while a scene is running and fades between them. Characters arrive at the next scene functional.
• Reset: Characters arrive at the next scene completely healed. Damage is repaired next scene.

Dialogue Frequency (Ratio of dialogue to narration)

• Silent: 0-10% dialogue, 90%-100% Narration
• Sparse: 20-30%, 70-80%
• Balanced: 50%
• Often: 70%, 30%
• Talkative 80-90%, 10-20%

Dialogue Naturalism (How clean dialogue is)

• Literary: Standard novel dialogue. Contractions and fragments are natural; no filler words and stumbling
• Colloquial/Casual: Slang, regional phrasing, sentence fragments, characters talking over each other and trailing off allowed.
• Verbatim: Full disfluency. Filler words ("Um.","like.", "okay." etc.), false starts, self-corrections, repetitions, and trailing sentences.

Dialogue Depth (How deep conversations can go)

• Surface Level: Speech is factual and direct, no deeper thoughts
• Grounded: Occasional reflection or generalization, tied closely to the scene at hand. A character may draw a conclusion about themselves or someone else
• Layered: Conversations carry more than their surface. Characters argue past the ostensible subject. Abstraction is present.
• Philosophical: Characters theorize, generalize, and pivot from concrete detail to abstract meaning. Digressions are allowed.
• Realistic: Depth follows what the speaker is capable of and what the moment supports. Functional exchanges stay functional; pressure, intimacy, and idleness are the conditions under which characters reach for larger statements

Character Change Resistance (Difficulty of characters being influenced by you)

• Fluid: Characters can change easily
• Responsive: One significant event, or smaller converging ones, is enough to move a character.
• Resistant: Development requires sustained cause and it usually comes with backsliding.
• Entrenched: Characters return to baseline quick. Change requires overwhelming, repeated cause, and even then it registers as strain rather than transformation
• Circular: Characters can change but will revert once the pressure that produced that change lifts.
  • "Change... change is a funny thing. Sometimes men change for the better. Sometimes men change for the worse. And often, very often, given time and opportunity... They change back." -Nicomo Cosca (I added in Circular just because of this quote lol)

Character Personality Trait Adherence (How characters express themselves)

• Restrained: traits surface selectively. Characters act on them when circumstances call for it and behave unremarkably otherwise.
• Pronounced: Traits are visible in most choices. Characters are recognizable from a single scene. Traits reliably inform behavior.
• Exaggerated: Traits are expressed past realistic proportion, over the top

Trackers: Renamed and Updated

WB Unlimited comes with three trackers Director's Notes, Roleplay Tracker and Bare Essentials Tracker. All three can track the characters and their position, time, clothes, but each differ a bit.

• Roleplay Tracker keeps tabs on your {{user}}'s hunger, thirst, ailments, wealth and as well as provides three background activities to provide a living world. Use the Roleplay Tracker in Roleplay and Active Persona
• Director's Notes removes all of that survival roleplay and replaces it with a Chapter tracker and subtext scanner. Use Director's Notes for Director mode or if you don't want the survival mechanics.
• Bare Essentials tracker only tracks characters and their position, time, clothes.

The trackers come with cleaner regexes that remove the trackers after 4 messages.

The Assistants Return!

The creative writing assistants from WB 5 are back with only a little modifications

• 📍 Plot Director: Proposes three possible directions for the next turn (A logical path, a fun path and an unhinged path).
  • New: Now prompted that logical and fun paths will subtly influence the next turn.
• 💡Brainstormer: Generate 2-3 open-ended ideas to enrich the wider story, worldbuilding, lore, history, culture, character backstory, unused character potential, locations, factions, "what if" concepts, etc. It won't be connected to the immediate story arc or scene.
• 🔍 Trope Spotter: Identifies any notable tropes, clichés, or familiar patterns present in the current scene, narrative, characters or dialogue. The AI may provide a very concise history lesson, or fun fact on trope.
• 🧵Plot Threads Tracker: Will remind you of any unfinished story arcs or questions you haven't answered.
• 🎲Chaos Suggester: Proposes one wild, unexpected, or disruptive thing that COULD happen next. It will be as chaotic and non-sequitur as possible to differentiate itself from Plot Director.

Custom CoTs

Three CoTs to make sure the AI adheres to all of the rules and enhance output.

• Balanced (recommended): Good for quality and speed
• Full: Drafting and revising allowed for maximum quality and prompt adherence
• Bare Essentials: Only 3 steps that checks the selected settings.

Using GLM on openrouter, the CoTs are decently fast, taking around 8-20 seconds to generate a response. Of course it depends if you're using it during peak hours.

NSFW Options

• 🔞Explicit Content Toggle🔞: Allows NSFW themes
  • "Sexual Flavors"
    • Sexual Fantasy: Sex is idealized, bodies are objectified. Sensory description register as attractive.
    • Sexual Realism: Bodies are described anatomically and directly. Scent, fluid, and texture are rendered plainly and realistically (i.e. pussy and cock should be stanky after spending 5 hours killing bandits and practically covered in their guts 🤮)

NSFW Tones (can be found in the tones section)

• 🥵Horny/Hentai🥵: NSFW and sexual themes are constant. All kinks are permitted. Always allows moments for freaky stuff
• 😳Perverted😳(Softcore/Ecchi Anime Inspired): All ecchi tropes (Panty flashes, wardrobe malfunctions, accidental gropes, cleavage faceplants, etc) are encouraged. Story will bend physics, probability, logic to force these moments. Tease sex relentlessly but it should not escalate to penetration unless prompted.

Narrative Addons (More details can be found in preset)

• **🐱**Anthropomorphic Realism 🐶
• 🪝Narrative Hooks🪝
• 🗣️Dialects 🗣️
• 👫Better Side Characters👫
• 🌍Enhanced World🌍
• 📺Episodic Mode📺
• 📃Wordplay📃

Recommended Models (based on whether it follows CoTs)

GLM 5.2/5.1/5.0, Mimo 2.5, Longcat 2.0, Gemma.

Deepseek v4 pro and flash sometimes follows the CoTs but I would use them with caution.

I used GLM 5.2 on openrouter for the majority of my testing and its really good and decently fast, so I recommend GLM overall.

AND FIN!

Hopefully this post is informative and if you do use this preset, share your combo of prompts! I left a "README" prompt at the very top of the prompt list to give examples of styles. I used mostly used unique examples instead of literary authors to give you an idea how flexible this preset is. Hope you have fun!

Yo! Thanks for the support on my previous version. This update features the new "Assistants" update and further reduction in tokens. But first...

What is Writer's Block 5? What is the point of this preset?

This is narrative focused preset with the goal of improving subtext, characters and writing close to novel quality prose with you acting as a director giving out scene directions or you controlling an "active" persona/{{user}}.

Heads up: this preset is focused on writing for you. It was not made with regular one-on-one rp in mind. There is a roleplay mode available for options, but it is not the focus.

I really like it because AI writes my character better than I do most of the time, and I've made peace with that. I think it is a niche and lazy way to use SillyTavern but that's what i like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's New?

I introduce five helpful optional writing "Assistants" that can help you if you are stuck in a writer's block (TITLE DROP!). Each Assistant will provide their response at the end of each message as feedback to give you ideas to advance the story or help brainstorm world building as the story progresses.

• 📍Plot Director: Generates three suggestions for the next turn.
  • Logical: the most natural step based on the story and characters so far
  • Fun: More interesting but riskier or less expected. Prioritizing engagement over logic
  • Unhinged: A chaotic/absurd suggestion wild enough to shake the scene.
• 💡Brainstormer
  • Generates 2-3 open-ended ideas for the wider story, worldbuilding, lore, history, culture, character backstory, unused character potential, locations, factions, "what if" concepts, etc, as the story goes along. Prompted so that these ideas may not need to be connected to the immediate scene or story arc.
• 🧵Plot Threads Tracker
  • Will remind you of any unfinished story arcs or questions you haven't answered.
• 🔍Trope Spotter
  • Identifies any notable tropes, clichés, or familiar patterns present in the current scene, narrative, characters or dialogue. The AI may provide a very concise history lesson, fun fact or reason why the spotted trope is a trope if available. You may choose to let the trope to play itself straight or subvert it.
• 🎲Chaos Suggester
  • Proposes one wild, unexpected, or disruptive thing that COULD happen next. It will be as chaotic and non-sequitur as possible to differentiate itself from Plot Director.

The update comes with a cleaner regex that will make their outputs from previous turns invisible to the AI to prevent "poisoning" the context.

Further reductions in size and rules: Without CoTs, and depending on selected style, the preset takes around ~3.3k tokens and with CoTs it will take ~4.5k or less depending if you are using the full or short ones. The previous version took around 5.5k tokens.

Rewritten prompts for most active styles: To better emulate the authors and tones.

New Active Style ⚙️Kojima-core⚙️**:** Emulates the cinematography and long philosophical dialogues of the Metal Gear Solid games.

New Addons:

• Better Side Characters
  • Originally part of the main prompt, I separated it to save tokens when not needed
  • Focused on making side characters unique with their own personality and voice.
• Enhanced World
  • Also part of the original prompt, now its an optional addon and expanded. Will add more details in the background for a livelier world.
• Episodic Mode (Status Quo is God)
  • When you input "new day" or something similar like "new chapter", "new episode", etc. Characters, status and relationships will revert back to baseline fresh, whatever happened in the previous day never happened. Like in sitcoms or cartoons where character development is nil.

An Overview For Newcomers. Main Features!

This preset leans into giving the AI full control of characters (including the {{user}}) with these two main narrative modes:

• Active Persona- you give intent, the AI writes for your character. It'll rewrite, expand and stylize your input to better fit your character's personality and history, but won't override your actual decisions.
• Director- you give directions as an omnipotent scene director; the AI handles everything. (Use an empty persona for this one)

---

Several authors and tones for the AI to emulate.

• General Purpose
• Joe Abercrombie
• Light Novel/Anime
• Cormac McCarthy
• Chill Author
• Conversational
• Ernest Hemingway
• John Steinbeck
• High Fantasy (Tolkien-like)
• Hentai
• Ecchi Anime

Unique Tones

• ⭐Glory Max⭐ (EMOJIS AND ABSURDISM)
• ⚙️Kojima-core⚙️ (Metal Gear-like)
• 🌴Hawaiian Uncle🌴 (JOKE)

---

Other Neat Stuff

• Adaptive pacing toggles and different POVs.
• Custom Made CoTs of varying lengths:
  • Full 12 step reasoning template for quality, and a short 4 step version for speed and savings.
• Trackers to track, time, weather, setting, character position, clothes, and subtext.
  • Comes with a simple and fancy version for aesthetics.
• The aforementioned Assistants to help overcome your writer's block and keep the story going.

Recommended Models

The Chinese open source models like GLM 5.2/5.1, Deepseek v4, Mimo 2.5 pro work well with the CoT. I haven't done too much testing with the big western AI models like (Gemini, Claude, Chatgpt) but it should work at least.

Potential New Big Boi Preset Soon? Writer's Block Unlimited!

I am working on a bigger yet much lighter version of this preset called "Writer's Block Unlimited." The active styles are gone but almost everything when it comes to writing is modular (mix and match narration tones, response length and paragraph density, vocabulary level, figurative language and much more). You can create your own style and get what you want! No longer you are limited to set style of authors.

Its a lot to set up with more toggles, but right now it sits around 1.9k with its CoT off and needed toggles on, 2.5k with CoT on but I'll try to keep it efficient.

If you like my stuff, feel free to follow me to stay tuned and to go to my discord forum on the AI Presets discord if you have any feedback or suggestions, as well as try out Writer's Block Unlimited. I posted a very early version of it. Some feedback on that would be nice too.

I hope you enjoy my preset! 👍

Context: Last Sunday, I did some zone 4 cardio while only having 3 hours and 40 minutes of sleep the previous night (bad idea I know). Later on in the day, I think suffered a panic attack. I felt terrible at work and I still felt fatigued on Monday too.

Last night, I finally managed to get at least seven hours of sleep and was surprised I got more deep sleep than light. This is the first time that happened to me. I'm pretty sure my Garmin watch might be wrong but I also think pushing my body too far on sunday might've had something to do with this.

The preset the scenario used is a modified version of my own public preset Writer's Block 4. Used GLM 5.2 on openrouter

*a lighter preset. My dumbass didn't finish the title .

(This is a repost: Original was posted yesterday but I added in a rentry link in an edit and it got automatically taken down. I used the opportunity to further reduce tokens in some prompts. Now I posted this again, now with more anime girls! Don't worry Von is still here)

I cut 50% off tokens from Writer's Block 4!

What is Writer's O'Block?

Writer's O'Block is a lighter version of Writer's Block 4. I stripped almost all of the fat, mainly keeping the prose and subtext improvements.

O'Block uses 1.9-2.2k tokens with COT off, 2.3-2.6k with COT on, depending on selected style. Original took 4-5k tokens

(The NSFW styles are bigger by a bit because I want quality smut~)

Also, for those who liked my previous version, don't worry—this is just a side piece. The hefty version of Writer's Block remains as my main bitch and shall continue to be the base for future updates.

Download: Writer's O'Block

Why is it named O'Block?

Original name was Writer's Block 0 but O'Block is a lot funnier so yeah. It also gave me an idea to make an image of my OC hanging out with King Von (RIP Von. I know he looking up to us from hell 😔😔😔)

Writer's O'Block vs Original Main Differences

Flavor/non-essential prompts like world & context, side character variation, and speech mechanics, etc. are gone. The existing prompts have been rewritten to their bare essentials and the custom COTs have been shortened but are not needed, making O'Block suited for regular roleplay. But the purpose of Writer's Block remains unchanged.

It's still focused on improving prose and subtext, with you directing and co-writing, and the AI writing for the {{user}}. With fewer rules, your character card and world info will do more of the lifting. You could be using the best preset in the world, but a poorly written character card can make your RP stale.

Basically: use O'Block for simple chars and RP, use the big Writer's Block 4 for complex scenarios/world cards with a cast of revolving characters.

Some of the prose styles have been removed for simplicity. I only kept the ones that substantially change the prose and tone.

Styles that survived for O'Block:

• General Purpose
• Joe Abercrombie (Grimdark comedy)
• Light Novel/Anime Author
• Cormac McCarthy (Bleak)
• Ernest Hemingway (Clear)
• Glory Max (Absurdist)
• Ecchi Anime (Light NSFW)
• Hentai Author (Smut)

The Narrative Modes like Active Persona and Director Mode remain untouched.

I hope you guys like it 👍👍👍

Von pulled up and smoked 50% off tokens from Writer's Block 4!

What is Writer's O'Block?

Writer's O'Block is a lighter version of Writer's Block 4. I stripped almost all of the fat, mainly keeping the prose and subtext improvements.

O'Block uses 1.9-2.2k tokens with COT off, 2.3-2.6k with COT on, depending on selected style.

(The NSFW styles take 2.8-3.2k tokens because I want quality smut baby~)

Also, for those who liked my previous version, don't worry—this is just a side piece. The hefty version of Writer's Block remains as my main bitch and shall continue to be the base for future updates.

Why is it named O'Block?

Original name was Writer's Block 0 but O'Block is a lot funnier so yeah. It also gave me an idea to make this masterpiece of an image (RIP King Von. I know he looking up to us from hell 😔😔😔)

I plan on posting character cards on this sub but idk, not guaranteed. Comment if you guys are interested in what my rotted brain is cooking.

In the comments I pasted a link to my rentry because I can't put it on the post itself or else it will get taken down by the automods even though it still up as a comment by itself. Find it and check it out.

I hope you guys like it 👍👍👍

This new update is focused on reducing tokens while adding in a new style. Basically I trimmed down some fat and added some more seasoning to the food I'm cooking!

For the newcomers, what is this preset about?
Writer's Block is focused on directing and co-writing. It leans into the AI writing for you the {{user}}, or you giving instructions like a director on a movie set (though it has a standard roleplay mode for those who want full control of yourself). It provides a baseline of writing rules to force the AI to improve its prose, character agency, dialogue, and subtext. There's also many styles for you choose that can change the tone and prose!

What's New?

• Token reduction and restructuring
  • With all the needed toggles and depending on the selected prose style, the preset takes 4.9-5.5k~ tokens with the custom COT on, 4.4k~ tokens with the cot off. The previous version took 6-7k. Some may still consider the new version a lot of tokens but I really like the results so far.
  • I removed the dialects section from the Dialogue Engine and turned it into an optional add-on to save you tokens when you don't need it.
  • Rewritten COTs to be a bit more efficient by combining and rearranging steps
• Rewritten Anti-slop
  • If I tell you to not think of pink elephants, you'll think about it anyway because I put the idea in your mind. So instead of telling the AI what it shouldn't do, I tell the AI what I want which will hopefully better reduce the amount of slop in its output.
• New Adaptive pacing toggles
  • Adaptive Novel (long), Adaptive Blitz (short) and Adaptive Medium
• New style: GLORY MAX!
  • An absurdity-focused, hyper-kinetic prose style. Expect overreactions, zero subtlety, cartoon physics, emoji spam, and environmental chaos.

Recommended Models:

GLM 5.1, Gemma 4 31b, and Deepseek v3.2 can work very well. Deepseek v4 is still inconsistent but I think that's the problem with the model itself, not my preset.

The Future?

I really like where everything is right now, I've been doing my rp's and creative writing solely with this preset; this could possibly be the last update. I don't want to add anymore stuff or else it becomes bloated with features. This preset is still relatively simple to set up and I want to keep it like that. Another preset I was working on is focused on language learning but it still requires more testing and I don't think many of you are interested in that.

I just graduated college and I'll be starting my career soon so don't expect me to respond much anymore but please continue to keep sending in feedback by either commenting on this post or in the AI presets Discord I have my own forum post.

Thanks for the support guys. I hope you all like it 👍👍👍

I'm also about to graduate from community college with an associates welding degree but only having one real cert while a couple of my classmates passed both 3g and 4g kinda makes me worry about job opportunities.

My previous Reddit post for more details of this preset (I don't want to write everything again): Writer's Block 2 Electric Boogaloo

What is the point of Writer's Block? It's to enhance the prose of AI by copying popular authors and styles and to provide a solid narrative base while being relatively simple.

Disclaimer: This preset wasn't made with traditional RP in mind (a lot of the popular presets don't allow AI to speak or act for you, e.g., "no impersonation," only speak for {{char}} etc.). While I did put in a roleplaying mode and a conversational style for options, I'm not really interested in that.

Writer's Block leans into giving the AI full control of characters (including the {{user}}) with you acting as the director or giving instructions to a sentient persona. Having trouble roleplaying with your characters? Use this preset to overcome your "writer's block." And with the new mode in this update, I made it lean into the autonomy more.

Edit: Just realized chat history is turned off (I wanted to see the total tokens excluding the history) remember to turn that on sorry 😔 And turn on the preset regex if it's turned off. Also change the role of CoTs from user to system if using Deepseek V4 as it would not follow the CoT format in user role.

What's New in Writer's Block 3.1415/2:

• New Major Thing: Living Story mode (For Active Persona) A dedicated simulation CoT that forces the AI to act as a DM. Live through your worlds with a unique perspective. You guide a mostly autonomous {{user}}. You, the human, provide the intent of the {{user}}; the AI will rewrite, act, and speak for your character based on their established personality, flaws, and history. The Living Story mode comes with two versions.
• Survival Mode: Hunger, thirst, physical ailments, and wealth actively restrict your capabilities and alter the AI's consequences.
• Adventure Mode: The same thing but with hunger, thirst, and ailments removed. Wealth stays.
• New style, Ecchi Anime: For you softcore degens. The universe will bend logic to bring out those classic ecchi tropes.
• New add-on, Narrative Hooks. Give the AI a list of scenarios and make it determine the most suitable path to push the narrative forward.
• Added in a new step in the CoT. AI will determine dialects of the characters.

New Technical Stuff (Boooring)

• I am now using XML tags (<example_prompt> </example_prompt>) to structure my prompts for better readability for AI.
• Editor's Notes tracker now uses a regex for cleaner context while keeping the HTML graphics.
• Added a simplified tracker that doesn't require regex or fancy graphics. Added trackers for the new Living Story Mode for both survival and adventure.
• Modified the prompts a bit for Deepseek V4. The CoT should work properly now.

Recommended Models

• GLM 5.1 works best (I use the official z.ai API). Deepseek v4 pro can work well, but it is inconsistent on Nanogpt at least. I suspect it because it's getting different quantization depending on the time. I recommend using OpenRouter or the official Deepseek API.

The big western LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) I am not sure how well the preset performs, but it should at least work well on Gemini since I used it to help me write the prompts.

I was surprised by the amount of support I got on here and on Discord. I am honestly very glad because I am just a complete casual, and I was just adding in stuff I like in this preset. I'll (maybe!) keep working on this preset if you give me any suggestions but no promises.

Also, I was high on an edible when I got GPTimage to make the poster. I kept it because I thought it was funny. Naked Gun reference 👍
