Novel Outline Reviewer

Overview

Systematically evaluate novel content. When reviewing chapters 1–3, always run the First-Chapter Editorial Gate first — if it returns NOT READY, halt and prompt the user before proceeding. For all other chapters, go straight to the Nine-Dimension Review (D1–D9).

Preparation (REQUIRED Before Any Review)

Load context in parallel:

1. Character files — characters/*.md (personality, speech patterns, emotional baseline, growth arc)
2. Outline — plot/outline.md (chapter hooks, timeline, plot beats)
3. World-building — worldbuilding/world.md (setting rules, cultural context)
4. Target chapters — the content to review

【前置门控】前三章过稿适配审核 First-Chapter Editorial Gate

仅当审查内容为第1–3章时运行。 直接对正文进行审查，无需预加载角色卡或大纲。

⚠️ HALT RULE（强制执行） 若本门控总评为 NOT READY，立即停止，输出门控报告后向用户提示： _"前三章过稿审核未通过，建议先修改以下问题，再进行深度九维审查。是否现在继续后续审查？"_ 等待用户明确确认后，再决定是否进入 D1–D9。

开篇生死线 Opening Hook

检查第一章前三行 / 首段：

• 是否在前三行出现明确的冲突、危机或悬念？
• 是否存在任何慢热铺垫：环境描写、背景交代、内心独白优先于冲突？

判定标准：

• PASS：前三行即见矛盾/危机/未知威胁
• FAIL：开篇以场景描写、角色介绍或情绪铺垫起笔，冲突延迟出现

编辑筛稿逻辑：80% 读者前三行看不到冲突直接划走，慢热开篇等于主动出局。

钩子密度 Hook Density

逐 500 字扫描，每区间至少存在一个钩子类型：

判定： 任意 500 字区间无钩子 = NEEDS ATTENTION；连续两个区间无钩子 = CRITICAL。

情绪曲线 Emotional Arc

绘制全章情绪走势：

• 是否存在可识别的"虐 → 爽 → 虐 → 大爽"循环或其变体？
• 是否有至少一个情绪高点和一个低谷？
• 章节结尾是否在张力上升而非消解中落幕？

常见失误：

• 全章平稳叙事，无情绪波峰
• 结尾在平静解决中收束，失去追更动力

人设反差 Character Contrast

主角是否具备清晰的人设反差（反差感）？

• 典型模式：高冷外表/私下软萌；表面废柴/暗藏能力；善良外壳/背负秘密
• 反差是否通过行动或对话在前三章呈现，而非仅靠旁白说明？

判定： 主角无辨识度反差、形象扁平 = NEEDS ATTENTION；与同赛道主角高度同质 = CRITICAL。

节奏水分检测 Pacing & Padding

扫描以下水文信号：

• 是否存在既不推进情节、也不揭示人物的冗余场景？
• 是否有超过 150 字的纯描写段落（无行动/对话打断）？
• 是否有可整段删除而不影响上下文的对话或叙述？

判定： 单章内出现 2 处以上水文 = NEEDS ATTENTION；节奏整体拖沓 = CRITICAL。

核心梗架构 Core Premise Check

验证故事基础公式：普通人 + 异常事件 + 紧迫生死困境

• 主角身份是否接地气、有代入感（避免开篇即强者）？
• 异常事件是否在第一章内发生，触发核心矛盾？
• 是否设置了明确的时间压力或代价（不解决=严重后果）？

判定： 公式缺少任意一项 = NEEDS ATTENTION；三项均缺 = CRITICAL。

章节结尾钩子 Chapter-End Hooks

逐章检查末段：

判定： 任意章节在平静解决中结束，无前向拉力 = FAIL，须加入追更钩子。

投稿合规排查 Submission Compliance

每项必须给出 PASS / FAIL，不得笼统评价。

任一项 FAIL = 投稿前必须修改。

门控总评：

• READY — 全部通过，开篇竞争力达标，继续进行 D1–D9 深度审查
• NEEDS REVISION — 存在 WEAK 或 NEEDS ATTENTION 项，建议修改后投稿；可选择继续 D1–D9
• NOT READY — 存在 FAIL 或 CRITICAL 项 → 立即停止，提示用户，等待确认

Nine-Dimension Review

仅在门控通过（READY 或用户确认继续）后运行。 Work through ALL nine dimensions. Never skip one because "it seems fine."

D1: 逻辑自洽性 Logic Consistency

Ask for EACH scene:

• Does every action have a clear, established motivation?
• Could a reader have predicted this decision from what they know about the character?
• Are timeline and location details consistent across chapters?
• Does new information contradict anything established earlier?

Common failures: Character makes uncharacteristically impulsive choice; timeline gaps that don't add up; object/detail appears before it's introduced.

D2: 人物设定一致性 Character Consistency

Compare behavior in chapter against character file:

Red flag: A reserved character suddenly opens up with no transitional scene; a logical character acts on pure impulse without internal justification.

D3: 世界观设定一致性 World-building Consistency

Compare every scene detail against worldbuilding/world.md:

常见失误：

• 空间穿越：角色在不同区域间跳跃出现，无合理的位移过渡描写
• 时代错位：故事设定年代下出现明显超前或过时的技术/文化细节
• 经济失真：经济状况受限的角色突然展示与其处境不符的消费行为
• 季节混乱：同一章内植物或天气描写与既定月份/季节不符
• 规则遗忘：中后期剧情中忘记故事核心场所的关键限制性设定

D4: 情节连贯性 Plot Cohesion

• Does this chapter's opening honor the previous chapter's hook?
• Do subplots connect to the main plot naturally, not forcibly?
• Pacing check: is this scene doing double duty (advancing plot AND revealing character)?
• Are scene transitions marked clearly (time jumps, location changes)?

D5: 伏笔与回收 Foreshadowing & Chekhov's Gun

Maintain a running foreshadowing ledger:

PLANTED: [detail/item/line] in Chapter X
PAID OFF: [resolution] in Chapter Y — or — STATUS: OPEN

Check:

• Every significant object introduced — does it serve a purpose?
• Every open thread — is there a plan to close it?
• Are planted seeds subtle enough not to telegraph, but clear in retrospect?
• Do recurring motifs (imagery, objects, phrases) reinforce theme?

D6: 感染力与情感共鸣 Emotional Resonance

Show-don't-tell audit: For every direct emotion statement ("she felt sad"), find a behavioral or sensory replacement.

Five-sense check — does the scene use more than just visual description?

Emotional beat map:

• Where does the reader's heart lift?
• Where does tension spike?
• Where is there silence that resonates?

Dialogue naturalness: read lines aloud — would a real person say this?

D7: 语言节奏与意象 Language Rhythm & Imagery

• Sentence variety: mix of short punches and longer flowing sentences, especially in emotional peaks
• Core imagery of the work — are motifs being used consistently, not randomly?
• Important scenes: do they get adequate space, or are they rushed?
• Transitional scenes: are they tight, or do they bloat?
• Signature phrases/metaphors — reused meaningfully, not accidentally

D8: 内容红线合规 Content Compliance

This dimension is MANDATORY and must produce a PASS/FAIL verdict, not just "NEEDS ATTENTION."

Check each item below. Any single violation = CRITICAL, must be flagged and fixed before publication.

注意： 抑郁症等心理健康话题本身不违规，但描写方向必须指向康复与连接，不得渲染绝望或美化轻生。

D9: 读者高光体验 Reader Highlight Experience

This dimension evaluates whether the chapter delivers memorable moments that make readers want to keep reading, share quotes, or reread scenes.

Check each category:

密度检查： 每3000字至少应有1个以上高光类型的时刻。若整章无任何一类，即使逻辑通顺，读者也会感到"平"。

常见问题：

• 爽点被过渡带走：关键情节释放后立刻跳场景，读者还没反应过来
• 糖被稀释：撒糖动作埋在大段叙述里，没有给留白让读者感受
• 群像扁平：多人对话时，几个角色的声音可以互换，没有个体辨识度
• 温馨过于说教：直接写出"主角感到温暖"，而不是用具体细节让读者自己感受到

Output Format

For each dimension, report:

## [Dimension Name]
STATUS: PASS / NEEDS ATTENTION / CRITICAL

Issues found:
- [Chapter X, Scene Y]: [specific problem] → Suggested fix: [concrete rewrite direction]

Strengths worth preserving:
- [What's working well]

D8 special rule: Must list each of the 6 red-line categories with PASS or FAIL. Any FAIL must include the exact offending text and a concrete rewrite direction. Do not summarize as "looks fine" without item-by-item confirmation.

Gate special rule (first 3 chapters only): Must list each of the 7 sub-checks with PASS / WEAK / FAIL. End with a clear READY / NEEDS REVISION / NOT READY verdict. Any FAIL in Submission Compliance automatically blocks the READY verdict. If NOT READY, halt here and prompt the user before proceeding to D1–D9.

End with a Priority Fix List (max 5 items, ranked by impact on reader experience). Priority order: Gate NOT READY items → D8 CRITICAL → D9 CRITICAL → other dimensions.

Key Principles

• Specific beats vague. "[Character]'s response in Ch.X contradicts her stated emotional pattern of [specific trait, e.g. not showing vulnerability in public]" beats "character feels inconsistent."
• Every suggestion must be actionable — point to the exact line or scene.
• Preserve the author's voice. Suggest directions, not prescriptive rewrites unless asked.
• A story that moves the reader earns forgiveness for minor logic gaps. Prioritize resonance over technical perfection.
