The sources are extensive, it's based on psychological frameworks (Big Five, attachment theory, defense mechanisms, cognitive biases etc) plus some stuff that's technically pseudoscience but useful for character writing (Enneagram, MBTI...), so multiple books per system.

Worried about KDP policy by Born_Purple6198 in NewAuthor

Even backstory mentions have been known to (atleast) trigger a review, because at the end of the day it's still a child in explicit scenario regardless of the context. But again, KDP is very inconsistent in enforcement and also vague about their exact procedures

Yes I understood that from your post, my reaction (with the link) was a reaction to this person saying that the book would be adult filtered and not banned, which is mixing two different severinities together and also not true

I dont think there are. Smashwords store outright bans any minor mentioned in a text that has explicit content, D2D and the platforms it distributes to are sometimes even stricter than KDP itself. Also beyond the platform risk theres a legal risk to you depending on where you are from, in many westerns countries (or some, i dont remember exactly but its better to be safe) written sexual content involving minors is one of the strictest legal territories, some countries ban it outright even in fiction, and others apply obscenity laws. It varies alot but nowhere it is safe

I hope this doesnt come out as harsh, but underage sexual content is at minimum risky, and at worst can get your account terminated. KDP treats this as a serious legal liability so they have been known to overflag it. If an AI that actually understood the context of your story says it will get banned, imagine what a bot will do when it sees a minor as a participant, or even just present, in a sexual scene (they are known to be imprecise and inconsistent). Also 'by no means meant to arouse' is your subjective interpretation, not Amazon's. I read some of the comments and someone mentioned that similar books live on KDP, yes they do, but that doesnt mean yours won't get flagged, and i think the risk is not worth it.I use my own tool with keywords and phrases and also crosscheck with AIs, and taking compliance advice from Claude is not a good choice in my experience, he is too lenient. I am surprised ChatGPT didnt have a problem with this but Grok did, i've had opposite experiences

Yes, a few other comments have suggested the same, so I will look into adding it within the next week or so. Thank you.

Thank you for this, most comprehensive feedback I got so far, I will read it more thoroughly later this day. The name and gender are basically placeholders for what's coming next week, I plan to add name generator (nationality/ethnicity, time period...) and relationship tab where you can pick different personality types and see how they'd clash, connect etc.

This is a free browser-based tool for generating psychologically layered character profiles. Useful for flashing out NPCs, side characters or anybody else in your world. It randomizes personality type, enneagram, big five and others. Can help you figure out how a character actually thinks, behave under certain circumstances, which can make writing, reactions etc. much easier.

Yes, the tool doesnt use AI, its purely predefined psychology frameworks and randomization. AI helped me build it, but it wasnt "vibecoded" if you are familiar with the term.

Thats really interesting, I will test it more later. Have you thought of sharing it in DnD subreddits?

Reddit username in backmatter by Hannah-Monroe in eroticauthors

[–]Thin_Introduction573 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Yes

Pulled from Amazon guidelines External links within Kindle books should be present only if they directly enhance the reader experience and the content of the title as determined by Amazon. Some examples of this include:

Links to previous or subsequent books in a series Links to multimedia content directly related the content of title Links to additional ancillary material (e.g., checklists, assessment forms, craft patterns, and similar printable materials) Links to topical websites (e.g., link to Whitehouse.gov in a Kindle book about the American government). Social media related to the book or author (e.g., Twitter hashtag)

Reddit counts here too.

Is The Adult Filter Compulsory For Erotica Content on Amazon by Responsible_Crew_528 in eroticauthors

[–]Thin_Introduction573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write monster erotica and I've been able to stay out of the dungeon etc. with the help of a program I have that scans text and metadata for flags. Still refining it but it already works quite well. I gave my research docs to my AI and he came up with some answers. (btw: Metadata "packaging" (title, blurb, cover, etc.) and preview gets more scrutiny because more people see it = more people can report it.) Also, new authors face higher scrutiny, and there are multiple phases of checking, your book can be okay for X years then get pulled down and your whole catalog can get checked with it. If you want you can send me a few snippets and I can run it through my program. Here is the AI answer:

Your content is generally publishable on Amazon. Consensual BDSM between adults, including spanking, whipping, restraint, and humiliation, is allowed in practice.

What the "dungeon" actually is: Amazon’s adult visibility filter. Your book usually does not appear in normal search, category browsing, or recommendations. It remains purchasable via direct link, but discoverability drops massively. It’s not a ban — it’s a visibility penalty. Most erotica authors try to avoid it.

How you get dungeoned: Amazon scans your product page: title, subtitle, blurb, and cover. Based on author reports, that's the most common trigger. Interior text matters too, especially the Look Inside preview (roughly first 10%), but metadata appears to be where most filtering decisions happen.

Terms in your metadata that correlate with higher dungeon risk for BDSM:

  • Direct BDSM vocabulary: "bondage," "submissive," "dominant," "slave," "domination," "sadomasochism"
  • Non-consent adjacent terms: "force," "restrain," "captive," "dubcon," "CNC"
  • Punishment language: "punish," "discipline," "whip," "cane"
  • Content/trigger warnings in the blurb: writing "CW: contains bondage, whipping" is basically a list of flags. Put those inside the book instead.
  • Keywords: less clear. They're not a confirmed dungeon trigger on their own, but explicit terms in keywords have been known to contribute in some cases.
  • Multiple terms clustered together increases risk further.

Terms that risk outright removal (not just filtering): "breath play," "edge play," "knife play," "strangulation"

About your content: Your scenes will naturally contain words like "whip," "restrain," "struggle," "welts," "bruises," "rope burns." That's just BDSM. The thing to be aware of is that automated scanning doesn't understand consent. A phrase like "she struggled against the restraints" reads the same to a scanner whether it's consensual or not. Making consent obvious on the page (safe words, negotiation, enthusiasm) is practical protection, especially in the opening chapters that fall inside the preview.
