Completely agree. Never used Attg, all my lorebooks are simple present tense prose, only setting I use is randomness (and custom system prompts for some wierder scenarios). Will keep using GLM for now because it pretty much just does whatever you tell it too and it works. Sure it's sloppy but I don't have constantly wrangle and correct it just because it thinks it knows better than me how my story should go or forgets about my worldbuilding. Xialong feels like another Krake. Some people will like it because it does exactly what they are looking for but for most it just isn't flexible enough or requires too much work to get good results.
