AI Roleplay Lorebook User Survey

Regularly use Lorebooks shared by others.

Experienced in writing my own entry logic.

Very interested; I want to give my characters a "soul."

Somewhat interested, but it seems too tedious to set up.

Not interested; I prefer chatting with pre-made characters.

Q1. What is your level of familiarity with "Lorebook / World Info" features in AI roleplay?

Definitely—I want to understand the world's underlying logic (e.g., magic ranks, kingdoms) beforehand.

Occasionally—Only when the AI mentions a term I don't recognize.

Not really—I prefer discovering things through chat; spoilers ruin the sense of exploration.

Highly needed! Templates save a lot of tuning time.

I might try them, but I prefer fine-tuning them myself.

Not needed; I prefer 100% original creations.

A sense of achievement and community recognition.

Seeing derivative works based on my settings.

Potential rewards (e.g., credits, traffic support)

Fear of my ideas being plagiarized or stolen.

The setting is too personal for public view.

The export/sharing process is too complicated.

Fear of being criticized for logic flaws in my entries.

Yes—Ideally via a small note below the message (e.g., Triggered: "Great Old Ones").

It depends—Needed for debugging as a creator, but not during immersive roleplay.

No—It breaks immersion; I don't care about the backend triggers.

Strongly needed! It guides me to try different settings and increases interaction precision.

No—It makes me feel like I’m filling out a form rather than chatting.

Keyword Triggering: Entry triggers only when specific words appear.

Global Triggering: Forced entries that stay active regardless of the conversation topic.

Logic-based Triggering: Supports "AND/OR/NOT" logic (e.g., trigger only if "Forest" AND "Night" occur).

Mutual Exclusion (Groups): Only one entry from a group can trigger (e.g., Choose either "Dark Forest" OR "Sunny Beach," but not both).

Probability Triggering: Set an entry to have only a 50% chance of activating to add unpredictability.

Randomized Triggering: Randomly select one of several variations (e.g., a skill has different random effects).

Progressive Unlocking: Entry content changes or unlocks as the message count increases (e.g., a character gradually lets their guard down over time).

Creation/Writing process is too tedious and time-consuming.

Inaccurate triggering (often triggers when it shouldn't, or fails when it should).

Triggered effects are too rigid (AI keeps repeating the same injected text).

Difficult to debug; hard to tell if an entry actually worked.

Lack of high-quality public Lorebook libraries to reference.
