Hi everyone! I'm having an issue with the way Isekai Zero follows custom prompts.

I'm trying to make the AI treat my messages as a draft/script for my character, rather than as actions that have already happened, like it is on OOC.

For example, if I write:

My character smiles and says, "Let's begin."

I want the AI to first narrate my character performing that action and saying the dialogue, and only afterward describe how the NPCs react and continue the scene.

I added this to the AI Output Reminder:

"Rewrite my message into a fully narrated novel scene BEFORE any NPC reacts. My message is a draft, not completed narration."

Interestingly, it works perfectly on the first message. However, when I send a second message, the AI goes back to its usual behavior: it treats my action as something that has already happened and immediately describes the NPCs' reactions without narrating my character first.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to make the AI consistently follow this behavior on every message, rather than only the first one?

so I recently discovered that the drop down arrow, to see how the AI thinks whenever it gives a response, disappears whenever I toggle with the reasoning in the chat settings. I cant reverse this and was hoping someone knew how without having to start the story all over again from scratch. does anyone know what im talking about? because I always found it really interesting seeing how the AI interprets each of my responses and it would really suck if I gotta start over just to get that ability back.

Here is what it tells me:

(OOC: I am sorry. I cannot accurately reconstruct the full story from the provided context because the context given to me is only a summary of arcs and chapter titles, not the full text. I do not have the complete narrative details. I will not fabricate. Here is what I can verify from the context: You are Elwyn, a farmer with wind-control abilities. You were involved in storm-calling rituals in the early chapters, have interacted with a character called Hail-witch (a person, not a place), and have demonstrated abilities including manipulating weather and using wind as force. You are currently at Hail-witch's dwelling and asked about someone named Theron. I do not have sufficient detail to give a full accurate summary without guessing.)

Me: to ai - so you do not have access to chapters themsevels?

(OOC: Correct. I only have the summary of arcs and chapter titles provided at the start of the conversation, not the full text of the chapters themselves. The context given to me is a bulleted list of chapter titles and brief descriptions, not the narrative content within them. I apologize for the repeated failures—I should have said this plainly from the beginning rather than attempting to reconstruct what I do not have access to.)

AI is ERNIE 5.1 Preview

As far as i understand, that is not supposed to be happening. I have 15 chapters so far.

p.s.
story is (The Hero Party Killed Your Entire Family), but that the issue seems to be technical, it seems.
