Intro

Is your story feeling flat? Are you drowning in infodumps? Do you worry your idea isn't original enough?

You're not alone. Every writer struggles to build a world that feels as real and urgent on the page as it does in their head. But what if your setting could do more than just look pretty? What if it could actually write your plot for you?

The Narrative Engine is your hands-on guide to moving beyond generic backdrops and building a Dynamic Narrative Ecosystem. This isn't about drawing maps you'll never use; it's about creating a world with environmental pressure, deep history, and hard rules that actively generates conflict and forces your characters into unforgettable choices.
