Scenes

What Are Scene Modules

Scenes are the spatial containers where your story unfolds. In Qritor, each scene is a structured module — not just a paragraph of environmental description, but a form with fields predefined by the Creation Method, including scene name, geographic location, environmental features, atmosphere, important objects, and more.

The benefit of this structure is that AI can precisely read a scene's environmental information and atmosphere settings when continuing chapters, automatically generating descriptions that match the scene's characteristics and making the story more immersive.

Where to Find Scenes

After entering the novel editor, the "Scenes" group in the left module tree is where you manage scenes. All scenes are listed there; click any one to view and edit it in the right panel.

Scene Fields

What fields a scene module has depends on your Creation Method. Different genre methods design different attribute structures for scenes:

• Xianxia genre scenes might include: Name, Geographic Location, Spiritual Energy Density, Danger Level, Special Resources, Resident Factions
• Mystery genre scenes might include: Name, Location Type, Key Clues, Entry/Exit Routes, Surveillance Status
• Sci-fi genre scenes might include: Name, Planet/Space Station, Gravity Environment, Technology Level, Resource Status

These fields are defined by the Creation Method's module types and are automatically determined when you create a novel.

Creating Scenes

There are several ways to add scenes to your novel:

Manual Creation

• Next to the "Scenes" group in the left module tree, click the "+" button
• Enter the scene name
• If the Creation Method defines multiple scene types, select the appropriate one
• Click create — the new scene appears in the Scenes group
• Fill in the scene's attributes in the right editing panel

AI Batch Generation

This is the fastest way to build your story's stage — have AI generate multiple key scenes at once based on your novel settings.

• In the left module tree, select the "Scenes" group
• Click the "AI Generate" button on the group
• AI reads your novel settings (worldbuilding, geographic layout, etc.) and automatically generates multiple scenes
• The generation process is shown as a streaming preview — you can watch each scene's info appear in real time
• When generation is complete, click "Accept" to add the scenes to your library

AI-generated scenes will have all fields defined by the Creation Method automatically filled in. You can then adjust and refine them.

Extracting from Chapters

If you've already written some chapter content, AI can automatically identify and extract scenes from the text:

• Open a chapter that already has content
• In the editor toolbar, click the "Extract Entities" button
• AI analyzes the chapter text and identifies scenes (as well as characters, props, etc.)
• Extracted results are displayed in the AI assistant
• After confirmation, scenes are created in the Scenes group

Natural Language Description

In the AI assistant, you can tell AI what kind of scene you want using natural language:

• "Create an ancient ruins hidden deep in the mountains, filled with formations and traps"
• "I need a bustling port city that serves as a trade center where various factions converge"

AI will create a structured scene module based on your description and novel settings.

Using Skills to Initialize

Type / in the AI assistant to bring up the skills list, then select scene-related skills to batch-generate scenes that fit your genre following a preset workflow.

Editing Scenes

After clicking a scene, the right editing panel offers two editing modes:

Form Mode

The default editing mode. The panel displays all scene fields as a form, and you can fill in or modify each field. Click "Save" when done.

Smart Write Mode

Switch to Smart Write mode to have AI automatically fill in scene attributes based on your description. Great for quickly generating content for blank scenes.

Extended Scene Information

Beyond basic attributes, each scene has the following extended information:

Dynamic Info

Scene states change as the plot progresses — destruction, sealing, anomalies, etc. Switch to the "Dynamic Info" tab in the scene editing panel to view state change records across different chapters.

See the Dynamic Info documentation for details.

Relations

Relationships between scenes and other entities (a character's residence, an organization's headquarters, etc.) are visualized in the Relation Graph.

See the Relation Graph documentation for details.

How Scenes Enhance AI Writing

Scene modules aren't just notes for yourself — they're important reference material for AI creation:

Participating Entities

When editing a chapter, use the "Participants" button in the toolbar to specify which scenes the current chapter takes place in. Selected scene information is automatically passed to AI, enabling it to accurately portray the environmental atmosphere, geographic features, and spatial layout when continuing the story.

@Mention

Type @ in the AI assistant to reference any scene module. Once referenced, AI will consider that scene's detailed information in its response. For example, typing "@Imperial Palace describe the protagonist entering the palace for the first time" will prompt AI to create based on the palace's architectural layout, atmosphere, and other details.

Automatic AI Reference

Even without explicit references, AI automatically reads the scene settings of participating entities when continuing chapters, ensuring environmental descriptions stay consistent with scene settings.

Tips

• Create core scenes early: AI references scene settings when writing — the more complete the scene info, the more vivid and accurate the environmental descriptions will be
• Use AI batch generation: Let AI generate a batch of scenes based on your worldbuilding as a foundation, then manually fine-tune the details — much more efficient than writing from scratch
• Update scene states promptly: After a scene undergoes major changes in the plot (destruction, seal removal, etc.), remember to update dynamic info so AI keeps up with world changes
• Combine with participating entities: Specify locations before each chapter, so AI precisely "knows" where the story is happening and what the surroundings look like
