NovelMaker — An AI co-writing platform for web novels

Overview

An AI co-writing platform for Korean web novel authors. The guiding vision: "finish 50 chapters where the characters never break and every line still reads like your own."

An immutable-facts system and a seven-layer context assembly keep the narrative consistent even across a long serialised run.

Core technology

Seven-layer context assembly

1. Metadata (genre, setting, tone)
2. Hard constraints (immutable facts)
3. Synopsis
4. State snapshot (character state at this point in the story)
5. Previous chapter summary
6. Hybrid RAG (retrieval of relevant scenes)
7. Story outline

Multi-step generation pipeline

Plot → scene breakdown → drafting → prose rewriting → self-verification → output

Narrative knowledge graph

Neo4j holds characters, places, events and plot threads as nodes, and hybrid vector retrieval pulls precisely the context a scene needs.
