How to get better results
- Use a clear 2-6 sentence structure: protagonist goal → core conflict → key turning point → ending outcome, with one key fact per sentence whenever possible.
- Add relationship and role signals (parent-child, rivals, mentor-student, partner, antagonist) and how those roles shift during the story to separate lookalike plots.
- Include at least 1-2 highly distinctive events (for example: tunnel escape, layered-dream mission, hidden basement reveal) and indicate where they happen in the timeline.
- If you know it, add era, region, language, genre, or emotional tone; even one anchor like “1990s Korean social thriller” can remove many close-but-wrong matches.
FAQ
How long should my plot prompt be?
A good target is 3-6 sentences (roughly 80-180 words). Cover protagonist goal, central conflict, key turning point, and ending outcome first; if needed, add 1-2 distinctive events after that.
Can I include spoilers and ending details?
Yes, and for plot matching you usually should. Ending direction, reversal type, and who wins/loses are high-signal clues that narrow candidates much faster than broad genre descriptions.
What if several results still look similar?
Compare the top 3 overlap points, then add one exclusion clue: a specific profession, location, event order, or final-scene detail. A second pass with that extra signal usually separates close matches clearly.
Do I need actor names for accurate results?
Usually no. Plot structure, relationship dynamics, and key events are often enough to identify the title. Actor or character names are helpful bonus signals, but not required.
