Developmental Critique for Your Manuscript

Ask for story-level feedback on plot, pacing and character decisions. Chapterra has a basic developmental critique feature; the deeper premium workflow with anchored inline comments and approved revisions is still being developed.

What exists today

The current critique asks for an overall summary, continuity observations and chapter comments. A short synthetic test caught a planted key-continuity problem and returned quotations that matched the input. Full-book quality and every paid-account path still need broader testing.

Use comments as questions to investigate

A character can lie or make a poor decision without creating a plot error. Check the evidence before changing your story. The character motivation guide explains how to examine a decision that feels forced.

Frequently asked

Is this a replacement for a professional developmental editor?

No. The current AI critique can suggest issues to investigate, but it can miss context or give weak advice. The full premium inline-comment and revision workflow is still being developed.

Can an AI critique make mistakes?

Yes. Ask for specific passages and reasons, then compare the feedback with the manuscript. A character’s lie, a deliberate ambiguity or information revealed later can be mistaken for an error.
