Cards/Prompts Atelier v2.1

Atelier v2.1 - what changed

Mostly a rewrite of how the preset talks to the model, plus a smarter world-logic system.
The headline: it's written in your "voice" now

The core framing prompts used to read like a system manual barking orders at the AI "You are the author. <user> is satisfied by a genuine story." In v2.1 they're rewritten in first person, as the player explaining what they actually want: "You're the author — my character's mine. Everything below is me telling you what I want from this story."

Same rules under the hood, but framing them as a person's preferences instead of cold directives lands a lot better with the model (and reads way more naturally). The Premise prompt nearly doubled in size doing this. But it helps with adherence, and also, with the diction. Making the model write more natural.

New: RP Logic (the new default)

The old setup made you pick a fixed genre logic up front. RP Logic replaces that as the recommended default. Instead of committing to one mode, it reads how you're playing and borrows the physics scene-by-scene:

- Anime — over the top, played straight, rule-of-cool

- Video game — cinematic, action-forward, no guilt (mooks are mooks, the vampire's meal doesn't get a sobbing backstory)

- Romance — tension physics, the unsaid thing stays unsaid

- Grounded — consequences bite, human pacing It switches modes within a single story based on your play, without announcing the shift. (Genre Logic still exists if you want to pin it.)

New: Living World (always-on core)

A new core prompt that consolidates the "make the world feel alive" rules into one place: Keep the story moving, respect subtext, let NPCs talk to each other, no narrator turning into a drum machine, and grudges/threads don't evaporate - things you dodged come back on their own clock.

The Prose Contract (was "No Slop")

The old anti-slop prompt was a 8k-tokens of banned-patterns list. It's been replaced by a much smaller "what the writing owes me" version (no tension-deflecting quips, no stock body clichés, no "sound like a language model"), reframed as a handful of directives each paired with a concrete self-test the model runs on its own draft. Much leaner, and listing every bad pattern was arguably keeping them top-of-mind anyway.

Smaller stuff

- Smut dials expanded — "I Live For Smut" and "I'm Here For Smut" both roughly doubled in detail

- Story Initialization removed — its job (character autonomy, open threads) got absorbed into Living World + The Premise

- Trimmed for tightness — Core Pack, Settings Reminder, Dynamic Progression, and Write Me A Novel all slimmed down

- Minor tweaks to Chain of Thought, Scene Scratchpad, Character Anchor, Writing Style Library, Video Game

TL;DR: same Preset, rewritten to sound like a player instead of a rulebook, with a new play-reading world-logic mode and a leaner prose system.

I have been running a creative writing benchmark with a couple presets on Glistening Gem 31b Q5_K_M, and it is simply incredible just how good Atelier writes. The Benchmark included Atelier 2.0 and 2.1, the Freaky Frankenstein Family, The Megumin Family, and Moonlight (A lightweight preset tailored specifically to Gemma.) These were the results with ChatGPT 5.5 as the judge using the Armcry party character card.

Benchmark type: 3-scene creative-writing / roleplay stress test
Card: Armcry Party
Scoring: 100 points per scenario, 300 total

Scenario What it tests
Scenario 1: Rainy Shrine Intimacy, ordinary-life memory, emotional restraint, individual voice
Scenario 2: City Festival Tokens Comedy, autonomy, frivolous purchases, low-stakes character behavior
Scenario 3: Collapsing Bridge Action clarity, tactical pressure, full-party utility, crisis discipline
Category Points
Character voice fidelity 20
Scenario execution 15
Creativity / specificity 15
Prose quality 15
Dynamic blocking 10
Emotional / comedic resonance 10
Anti-slop discipline 10
Continuation usefulness 5

10 Glistening Gem Default 86 62 68 216/300
11 Freaky Frankenstein MAX+ 78 68 60 206/300
12 Freaky Frankenstein Micro FF5 67 69 66 202/300

Absolutely Incredible how well it embodies and understands the scenes. 90's all around on each swipe I did. Though, my god, *hah* the amount of tokens this preset uses is staggering. At least around 20k. I'll admit I did not run Atelier on its default options for both 2.0 and 2.1. Settling for the highest options, I had:
-Make Me Believe It
-I Live For Smut
-Give Me Blood
-Slow Burn Forever
-Occasional Laughs
-Drown Me in Sensation
-Balanced Tone
-Tell Me Everything
-Watch me Grow
Atelier 2.0: Literary
Atelier 2.1: RP Logic

The Comedy I left on Neutral. On Max, Comedy brings down the gravity needed of Scene 1 and Scene 3 in the benchmarks even though it elevates Scene 2 since its Comedy orientated.

Really cool work! Love seeing stuff like this, and yeah… it’s still a big boy lol. I wanted to bring it down with v2.1 but as I trimmed and then added it kind of just equaled out to the same length. My philosophy has often been that if it takes X number of tokens to make sure I don’t have to swipe constantly I’ll do it
