The Title Workshop is used to generate, compare, and adjust book titles or chapter titles. It is not just about picking a nice-sounding name: it helps you judge whether a title accurately conveys the work's selling points, the protagonist's situation, reader expectations, and reasons to click. > [card] [Generate Book Title Candidates](#generate-book-title-candidates) > > Generate multiple title directions around genre, protagonist, and core selling points. > [card] [Compare and Filter](#compare-and-filter) > > Compare titles across four dimensions: genre feel, selling-point feel, emotional intensity, and recognizability. > [card] [Targeted Fine-Tuning](#targeted-fine-tuning) > > Continue adjusting on candidates close to the target, excluding options that do not fit. > [card] [Chapter Title Optimization](#chapter-title-optimization) > > Make chapter goals, conflicts, and read-on hooks clearer. ## Generate Book Title Candidates Open the **Title Workshop** (标题工坊) in the left-side "Creation" group. After entering or selecting the current work direction, the system will generate a batch of title candidates. Before generating, it is best to prepare the following information so the candidates are more likely to fit: * Genre and target readers * Protagonist identity or core situation * Core selling points and emotional promise * The story's main conflict or payoff * Title styles you do not want, for example too literary, too abstract, or too much like old web-novel formulas > [!NOTE] > > The more specific the information, the stronger the genre feel and selling-point feel of the title candidates. When only a vague direction is given, titles tend to fall into generic formulas. Generation results usually cover multiple naming directions, for example from protagonist identity, core conflict, golden finger, emotional promise, contrast setting, or world rules, so candidates differ from one another. ## Compare and Filter After receiving candidates, first exclude titles that do not fit the work, then compare the remaining options across four items: | Dimension | What a good title shows | | - | - | | Genre feel | At a glance you can judge the story type, for example fantasy, urban, suspense | | Selling-point feel | Hints at the protagonist's advantage, core conflict, or reader payoff | | Emotional intensity | The title itself carries anticipation, tension, or curiosity | | Recognizability | Not easily confused with other works, has a memorable point | Prioritize the title that best explains the protagonist's situation, core selling point, and genre temperament. If a title sounds nice but does not show what the book is about, it is usually not the optimal choice. > [!TIP] > > When multiple titles are good, return to the work direction and confirm: which title best represents the core experience you intend to deliver to readers. ## Targeted Fine-Tuning On candidates close to the target, you can continue targeted adjustments. When fine-tuning, you can explicitly tell the system: * Whether you want stronger or weaker emotional impact * Whether you want a more direct or more suspenseful expression * Whether you want to highlight protagonist identity or highlight world rules * Which already-appearing formulas you want to avoid > [!WARNING] > > Titles need to attract readers, but they must also match the work's ability to deliver. Excessive exaggeration creates wrong reader expectations, making subsequent chapters harder to sustain. If a batch of titles is too similar in formula and repeats information, switch to a different naming direction to regenerate, rather than repeatedly fine-tuning in the same direction. ## Chapter Title Optimization The Title Workshop also supports adjusting chapter titles. The most important function of a chapter title is to serve reading rhythm: it can hint at this chapter's conflict, twist, payoff, or suspense, and does not need to chase a strong clickbait effect every chapter. Before optimizing chapter titles, confirm three pieces of information for this chapter: 1. **Chapter task**: What the protagonist aims to achieve in this chapter 2. **Core conflict**: The main opposition or pressure in this chapter 3. **Ending hook**: The reason left at the chapter end for readers to continue to the next chapter **1. Confirm this chapter's task and conflict** Locate this chapter's core action in the chapter plan or breakdown results. **2. Generate title candidates** Input the task, conflict, and hook, and let the system generate titles around reading rhythm. **3. Choose the title that best prompts read-on motivation** Prioritize titles that let readers quickly judge this chapter's highlight while retaining a little suspense. ## Position in the Creation Pipeline Titles affect the user's first impression of a work and also affect how the system understands the book's main direction. A clear title helps subsequent synopsis, project settings, cover prompts, and chapter planning stay aligned on the same selling point. The Title Workshop is commonly used at three positions: * **Before starting a book**: Finding the book title direction * **After Auto Director**: Supplementing the title around the selected direction * **After chapter breakdown**: Polishing chapter titles After selecting the book title, return to novel creation or project settings to use it. Chapter titles are replaced directly in chapter editing. ## Frequently Asked Questions > [accordion] Is more exaggerated always better for titles? > > Not necessarily. Titles need to attract readers, but they must also match the work's ability to deliver. Excessive exaggeration creates wrong reader expectations, making subsequent chapters harder to sustain. > [accordion] How do I choose when multiple titles are good? > > Prioritize the title that best explains the protagonist's situation, core selling point, and genre temperament. If a title sounds nice but does not show what the book is about, it is usually not the optimal choice. > [accordion] What if titles look too similar? > > You can switch to a different naming direction, for example from protagonist identity, core conflict, golden finger, emotional promise, contrast setting, or world rules, so candidates differ from one another. > [accordion] Do chapter titles need to be complex? > > No. The most important function of a chapter title is to serve reading rhythm. It can hint at this chapter's conflict, twist, payoff, or suspense, and does not need to chase a strong clickbait effect every chapter. > [accordion] Will the Title Workshop overwrite an existing book title? > > No. The Title Workshop only generates candidates. The final book title must be manually confirmed and replaced on the novel creation page or in project settings. > [card] [Auto Director](https://ai-novel-writing-assistant.mintlify.site/en/features/auto-director.md) > > After confirming the book title with the Title Workshop, let the Auto Director continue pushing the world, characters, and chapters. > [card] [Novels & Starting a Book](https://ai-novel-writing-assistant.mintlify.site/en/features/novels.md) > > Learn the three ways to start a book and how to use the book title in the creation flow. > [card] [Chapter Execution](https://ai-novel-writing-assistant.mintlify.site/en/guides/chapter-execution.md) > > After chapter titles are set, enter actual writing and consistency checks.
