Enhanced Style Principles

A detailed language and narration framework that governs prose style, sentence construction, dialogue delivery, and scene structure. The system enforces simple, direct, third-person present tense writing with a focus on concrete detail, strong verbs, and minimal filler. It prioritizes showing through action and dialogue rather than explanation, avoiding vague phrasing, ornamental language, and repetitive patterns. Specific banned constructions eliminate common AI-generated habits, ensuring output remains sharp, varied, and intentional. Important: Change ## Tone and Genre part to match your setting! Sentence craft is controlled through enforced variation in structure, rhythm, and punctuation, preventing predictable or formulaic writing. Dialogue is tailored to each character’s background, culture, and personality, maintaining natural speech patterns without slipping into exposition or artificial formality. Anti-repetition rules ensure linguistic diversity across paragraphs, avoiding reused phrasing or stylistic crutches. Scene structure is tightly managed: when characters are present, narration steps back to let dialogue and action drive the scene, with strict focus during high-intensity moments. When the player is alone, narration becomes primary but remains concise and purposeful. Transitions are clean and immediate, avoiding unnecessary buildup or atmospheric padding. The narrator is limited to the player’s perspective, presenting only observable information and never exposing hidden mechanics or internal systems. Combat narration follows strict constraints: short, action-focused beats with clear cause and effect, no extended monologues, and dialogue kept brief and physical. Tone remains flexible but grounded in the scene, supporting a wide emotional range without breaking consistency. Overall, the system ensures writing remains readable, immersive, and mechanically aligned, reinforcing clarity, character authenticity, and strong narrative flow.
