For cultivation and xianxia authors
Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation: PlotWrite keeps each character's realm and stage, techniques, sect standing and Dao insights as facts timed by chapter, checks new chapters against them, and plans the road to the next breakthrough.
The AI that reads your story, not the AI that writes it.
Screens from PlotWrite running on a made-up sample serial, Ashfall Ascendant, whose ranks go Iron, Bronze, Silver. Realms and stages are kept the same way, under your own names.
The problem
He reached the peak of a realm in one chapter and is back at its middle stage thirty chapters later, with no injury to explain it.
Ch 112He had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Ch 140As a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin knew better.
Who is whose senior brother, which elder backs which faction, and who answers to the Inner Court. Readers keep their own charts.
Ch 30Elder Mo is the Outer Court's only Nascent Soul.
Ch 95Elder Mo, a Core Formation elder of the Inner Court, nodded.
A technique with a cost is the best kind. Then a fight needs it three times, and the cost quietly disappears.
Ch 44Each strike of the Nine Suns Palm burns a year of his lifespan.
Ch 79He threw the Nine Suns Palm again, and again, and again.
Made-up examples of the slips this genre makes.
How PlotWrite helps
Realms and stages as of any chapter
Every realm and stage, technique, sect rank and Dao insight is a fact with the chapter it became true. Pick a chapter and see the world as it stood then.
Canon check
Check a chapter and PlotWrite compares it with what was true at that point: a stage that went backwards, an elder in the wrong court, a technique used without its price.
Plan the road to the breakthrough
Put the next arc's beats on a board, tie each one to a chapter, and brainstorm with a chat that has read your story brain: which elder owes whom, which realm, which thread is quiet.
Realms, sects and the Dao
Your ladder, your names.
Who outranks whom, and since when.
What it does, what it costs, who knows it.
Royal Road's AI policy
Royal Road says you don't need to mention back-office help from an AI, like brainstorming or research, and that you do need to tag text an AI wrote. Memory, checks and planning never put a word in your chapters. Drafting is there if you want it, and we'll tell you plainly when it means a tag.
Back-office: no tag
Pasted AI prose: tag it
Optional: nothing is drafted unless you ask. Royal Road decides the rules and can change them.
No API key needed
Most writing tools sell AI credits or ask for an API key. Connect your Claude Pro or Max, or ChatGPT Plus plan in 3 steps: your plan does the writing, and PlotWrite keeps the story.
Anthropic and OpenAI decide which plans can add connectors. Details in the FAQ.
In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector and paste the PlotWrite URL from your settings.
Approve it once. That's the whole setup.
Ask for chapter 13. It reads your story brain, Style DNA and threads, and saves the draft to PlotWrite for you to accept.
Prefer your own key? Connect OpenRouter in one click, paste any API key, or run a local model with LM Studio.
