Planning Beyond Text: Graph-based Reasoning for Complex Narrative Generation
While LLMs demonstrate remarkable fluency in narrative generation, existing methods struggle to maintain global narrative coherence, contextual logical consistency, and smooth character development, often producing monotonous scripts with structural fractures. To this end, we introduce PLOTTER, a framework that performs narrative planning on structural graph representations instead of the direct sequential text representations used in existing work. Specifically, PLOTTER executes the Evaluate-Plan-Revise cycle on the event graph and character graph. By diagnosing and repairing issues of the graph topology under rigorous logical constraints, the model optimizes the causality and narrative ...
