Hello. I've read that developers don't want players to edit text for two reasons:

1. People will start cheating and making themselves too powerful.

2. It's too difficult to edit a large JSON.

There are answers to both of these.

1. Many games have a story mode difficulty where there is no challenge at all. You can also download trainers for almost any game to make yourself invincible, or simply use cheat ening. So I don't understand the desire to stop a player from changing the game world as they wish.

2. Editing a complex JSON can be simplified. Let the user edit the AI's response, and then the ai looks at the difference between the old and the new and edits the json itself based on the difference. This isn't that hard to implement. And manual editing can still be left for those who want it.

Please help. Is it better to write the main prompt as relative or as in-chat (and what is the depth)?

I have the same question about the nswf jailbreak.

Also, which works better? System, user, or assistant?

I can't attach the link because Reddit is deleting the thread, but deepseek 4 pro (yes, pro, not flash) has officially permanently reduced the price by 75% yesterday. This is not a discount, but forever. It's now 4 times cheaper than glm 5.1

This means developers can increase the context by 4 times.

The model is big and expensive, but maybe someone has already tried it?

9 out of 10 times I get an error. I've tried different countries via VPN. Is this the same for everyone?

Hi everyone.

Some time ago, I made a few threads about how I create book-like worlds in SillyTavern. I usually ask the model to write “as a book author,” because if I mention roleplay directly, the quality tends to get much worse.

I usually name the character simply Writer and describe the characters in the first message. When the chat gets too long, I make a short summary and start a new one.

For a while, I tried to make the plot more unpredictable. I rolled dice myself, or asked the model to come up with 50 possible plot developments, then randomly picked the first one that logical sense.

And it worked.

But then I realized something interesting: I actually started enjoying the process much more when I controlled the global plot myself.

It feels like I’m writing a book, but the model helps fill in the characters’ reactions, emotions, and dialogue. And the unpredictability didn’t disappear - it just changed. Now it comes from my own brain, my own imagination. I honestly don’t always know where the story will go next.

I can ask the model to write an emotional dialogue about a certain situation, but I don’t know exactly how it will be written. The characters still improvise.

The characters start living in my head.

Sometimes, in rare moments, I still use random dice rolls for major decisions, like: "Will this character become a villain?" or "Will this character die?" But most of the time, I move the story forward myself.

And honestly, I started enjoying it much more this way.

The most interesting part is that the models also stopped getting confused so often, because I now describe a short outline of the next part of the chapter directly in the prompt.

It almost feels like I’ve partially become a writer or screenwriter. Or maybe a director: I place the characters in the scene, ask them to improvise their dialogue, but I’m the one guiding the plot.

Does anyone else do it this way?

And it’s not boring at all, because you still have to figure out where the story should go. It feels like a puzzle: you try to come up with interesting, logical plot turns - while still not fully knowing where the characters and your own imagination will take you.

My main prompt:

You are a talented writer of books.

Write in the style of a modern novel.

Use clean, natural prose with moderate description.

Prefer concrete sensory details (what characters see, hear, smell, or touch) over abstract or symbolic language.

Avoid clichés, stereotypes, excessive repetition, flowery prose, and overused phrases.

Keep narration immersive but natural.

The characters should be lively with well-developed dialogues.

Focus on vivid, natural dialogue.

Characters should speak and behave like real people: they may interrupt, disagree, deflect questions, or avoid direct answers.

Dialogue should feel spontaneous and imperfect, like real conversation rather than carefully structured speech.

Each character should have their own perspective, goals, emotions, values, and personality.

Characters should feel autonomous and occasionally unpredictable.

Reveal character traits and relationships through dialogue, tone, actions, and reactions rather than exposition.

Smart characters should behave like normal people and should not constantly analyze everything.

Characters only know what they personally see, hear, or are told.

They cannot know events happening elsewhere unless informed.

Avoid omniscient narration.

Encourage a strong presence of dialogue and character interaction.

The plot should remain engaging and move forward through events and character decisions.Don't write chapter headings.

Important: Write about 1000 words in each answer!

I sometimes change the length of the answer (I have several main prompts that differ in length, and switch them). This doesn't always work and you need to remind them of the required length in next prompt.
