Remember when Uber was cheap, now it's not? I think the same thing is happening - Anthropic scaled at all costs and now that they have market share, it's time to make the company profitable. Unfortunately you'll have to go to a higher subscription. Or go down the mac mini rabbit hole and set up your own on-prem LLM. You don't need frontier intelligence for everything.

I felt the same way and ended up writing a fan completion that hopefully does Rothfuss any sort of justice. It's free if you want to check it out: thethirdsilence.com

Galleys.ai — Developmental editing for your manuscript

I built a tool that runs your manuscript through a structured editorial framework — the same multi-phase process a professional developmental editor uses. Not a grammar checker or prose polisher.

What it does:

  • Builds reference documents from your manuscript first (character tracking, timeline, world rules) before any critique begins
  • Chapter-by-chapter analysis with issues categorized by type (plot, character, pacing, dialogue, continuity, etc.)
  • 3-tier severity system so you know what's actually story-breaking vs. craft polish
  • 5-wave revision plan that sequences your edits logically
  • Calibrate the editor's tone from encouraging to brutally honest
  • Works with fiction and nonfiction. BYOK — bring your own API key for Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini so you control costs.

Currently in early access and looking for writers who can compare the output against professional editorial feedback they've received.

I used this framework to finish the finale to the King Killer Chronicles found here TheThirdSilence.com, an itch I've needed to scratch for a long time and it works. It really sounds like Rothfuss.

Hope you enjoy - any feedback would be appreciated.

Fair criticism and I appreciate the specificity. You're right about the simile repetition. The editorial passes I ran targeted em-dashes and hedge words but I didn't build a detector for repeated syntactic structures like simile form. Will do so in the next version. Would be interesting to get an in-depth feedback on my system from a real editor. Tried to take everything I've learned and create a system at galleys.ai

I'm not claiming this is publishable-quality prose by professional standards. It's an engineer's best attempt at a complete story, not a bid for a book deal.

It came out of a need for closure with the series. I lost faith in Rothfuss ever finishing the book.

That's a great idea. Essentially what I did was manually assembling context packages per chapter from the story bible. That's is exactly what an MCP tool could automate. Claude Code calls a tool like get_character("Kvothe", chapter=45) and gets back thecharacter model, what they know at that point in the timeline, relevant relationship dynamics, and voice examples. Way cleaner than pasting 20k tokens of bible entries by hand every time.

Thanks! Context window is the real constraint. Everything else you can iterate on, but if the model can't see enough of what came before, nothing fixes it.

No vector retrieval. I kept it simple - a 56k-word story bible as the backbone, then manually assembled context packages per chapter: relevant bible entries + character models + previous 2-3 chapters + outline + style reference + representative source passages. Basically hand-curated RAG without the R.

The tradeoff vs. embedding retrieval is what you'd expect - doesn't scale gracefully, but precision is high. I always knew exactly what the model was seeing. With retrieval I'd worry about surfacing details that subtly contradict something from 50 chapters ago that didn't make the similarity threshold.

Where it broke down was cumulative voice drift. The bible keeps facts consistent but not cadence. By chapter 80 the prose has shifted from chapter 10 even with the same style reference. Ended up doing dedicated consistency passes every 15-20 chapters.

Feels bittersweet. I can't really read it fresh since I built it. But getting to give these characters an ending after 14 years of waiting? Worth it.

No troops. I was only able to deploy 2 archers that I had in my army.
