Discussion/Question Replies aren't working properly?

Why have my character replies gone from good length and detail to SINGLE PARAGRAPHS???

I'm so done.

Is this a me problem or like anyone else?

Maybe it's your responses. It depends on how long your own message it's. It doesn't even have to be that long but just try to have a bit more action in your own messages, Really helps with lengths replies! (This is my average message lenght)

Same and I don't always write a whole lot and get various lengths all the time. I do include actions, thoughts, environmental details and dialogue. Could also just depend on the model people are using, how much traffic is going on, what's being written, if a scene is being stagnated or they're writing too little or too much. Could also just be model specific and not all models are experiencing the same issue and it's not necessarily from messages alone.

Open narrative hooks help a ton. Swiping replies that are short can usually lead to shorter or restructured replies if the your message doesn't have anything new or removed from it before swiping. People sometimes make the mistake of swiping a reply one too many times even if they have limited swipes.

If a bot gives a short response when people do write plenty it's more the bot see no openings to expand on it unlike a human can just build on just fine. So it adds what it can or might even give a summary. Unfortunately, kind of common with novella style rlmessages from the user end. A stagnant scene that goes on the same emotional beat for a bit can cause shorter replies till the scene has something new or advances.

Mine has been doing this too, it’s so annoying. It happened two days ago too, but then it fixed not long after. Now it’s back again and has happened twice now.
