narrative-tests

When to use

• Author wants stronger control: “改一处就知道后面哪里拽歪”
• After any major deviation or canon change

Test writing principles

• Tests are author intent made explicit, not bureaucracy.
• Prefer rules that are:
  • specific (who/what/when)
  • checkable (can locate failure in concrete text)
  • stable (won’t change every chapter)

Recommended categories

• Canon rules: power system, forbidden knowledge, hard constraints
• Timeline rules: ordering, causality, “X must happen before Y”
• Character rules: motivation consistency, relationship milestones
• Information revelation: “before chapter N, reader must not know X”
