Before you even think about plot or characters, let’s build the foundation: a world so immersive your readers won’t want to leave.
This prompt helps you flesh out the geography, culture, politics, and everything in between—so your story feels grounded, cohesive, and full of narrative potential.
Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively
Be specific with your genre. Sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, historical fiction—each one leads to vastly different worlds.
If you have a loose idea in mind (e.g., desert planet, floating kingdoms, AI-run megacities), include that! It’ll make the output more aligned with your creative vision.
Don’t skip the character archetypes. They help you imagine what kinds of stories naturally emerge from your world.
Use this before outlining your plot. A well-built world often reveals the best stories waiting to be told.
Ask follow-ups. If something sparks your imagination—like a mysterious political faction or a rare piece of tech—ask for deeper lore. That’s how legends are born.
Here’s the prompt:
Help me create an immersive world for a [genre] novel. Start by developing in rich detail the world’s:
-Geography (climate, terrain, key regions, natural resources)
-Culture (values, traditions, languages, art, social structures)
-Technology (level of advancement, common tools, key innovations)
-Politics (government systems, power dynamics, historical tensions or conflicts)
-Major factions (key groups, alliances, or rivalries that shape the world.)
After that, generate:
-Three compelling character archetypes that would naturally emerge in this world, with brief bios.
-Two to three unique plot premises that could organically unfold within this setting.
Be in-depth and imaginative—go beyond surface-level summaries and bring this world to life.
