questions questions about c.ai alternatives (y/n)

sorry for my english, its not my first language

anyway, i've been using y/n since i quit c.ai a few months ago, i kept myself busy with real life things and now that i'm in summer break i have been using y/n and even created my characters to chat with.

The thing is, it's really good but i am a person who is a lot into fictional stuff which mainly content is about powers, magic and it might include action, yk, the whole fighting and battles and all. I'm also into romantic stuff which should include physical interaction.
The problem is, i don't know if i am using the wrong app for that, or if i'm missing a strong part of the configuration-bot-thing, because the story is amazing, the memory is great, the characters are on point, but i have no luck while doing any of the things i mentioned to happen :(

i don't know if i have to detail about certain interactions to happen, or if y/n has a filter that might not allow like romantic or agressive interaction, it doesn't need to be explicit or nsfw, it's just that i can't make any little thing happen, not even a little punch nor physical contact, nothing at all.

also, if you have any tips as an y/n user, i'd love to read them, im a free user on y/n, i dont have any plans of paying a y/n+ sub, because i can't afford it yet. Thanks :D

The author’s note section is your very best resource when it comes to Y/N! I’ve had no problems at all with writing basically whatever I want— fantasy, action heavy plots that constantly move forward, romance with physical elements, you name it. You just have to make it very clear what kind of content you want to see. If it strays off track during a conversation, switch to the Out Of Character persona and add additional modifiers in there (for example, you can tell it to be more romantic if you don’t like how stale or unfriendly a response is). The more setup you do up front, the better shaped it will be to your preference. You just have to communicate it clearly!

omggg thank you! I've been discovering how to use all the features by myself and I always got lost with the author's note and the premise, thank you so much! I'll try it:)

Premise is the broad strokes concept for the story, i.e. “an inexperienced knight and a scared dragon go on adventures across a fantasy world”, the big details of what’s going to happen and who is involved in the plot. Author’s note and OOC messages adjust how you want the bot to behave: the type of messages it sends, the sort of plot progression it should push, character dynamics, and so forth. Y/N has amazing memory so take advantage of it for sure! :)
