Quick Start: Story Generator
On the HeronTool website, click "Story Generator" from the main menu. Enter a theme (e.g., "rainy-night detective"), character settings, or just a vague idea. Click "Generate" — the tool outputs 3 story synopses and one complete short opening (~300 Chinese characters). To refine, change the "Style" dropdown (mystery/warm/sci-fi) and resubmit.
Advanced: Polish & Continue
Copy the result into "Idea Expander" (part of the same suite). It extracts conflict points and emotional arcs, then suggests 3 possible plot twists. Choose one and click "Continue Paragraph" — the system writes 200 more characters in your style, keeping grammar and nouns consistent. Tip: first use the "Character Card Template" to fix names and motives, avoiding confusion.
Export & Iterate
When satisfied, click "Export as Markdown" or "Copy Plain Text". HeronTool saves multiple stories in your "Story Library" for later comparison. To flip perspective, use "Reverse Brainstorm" — instantly swap the protagonist's stance or ending.
FAQ
Q: Can I use generated text commercially? Yes, but heavily edit to avoid similarity with others.
Q: How to make a story longer? Repeatedly use "Continue Paragraph" (adds 200 characters each time) and manually smooth transitions.
Q: Does it support non-Chinese languages? Yes, but Chinese works best; switch to English corpus in settings for other languages.
