arXiv:2608. 15654v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can write fluent stories, but open-ended storytelling requires more than local fluency.

arXiv:2607. 00918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive creative fiction generation, they struggle to maintain narrative consistency and coherent plot lines in long-form stories.

arXiv:2606. 16014v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many games rely on storytelling combined with systems that track levelling, NPC behaviour, and consequence simulation; bridging tightly-authored narrative with deeply-simulated worlds -- most acute in sandbox and open-world settings -- has been prohibitively expensive.

arXiv:2606. 05553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Role-playing language agents (RPLAs) should play characters whose values and behavior evolve as the story progresses, not maintain a fixed persona.

arXiv:2606. 07649v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form video generation requires systematic narrative planning and visual consistency that current short-clip methods cannot provide.

arXiv:2607. 02802v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed as autonomous adjudicators in semi-open textual game environments, robust rule adherence becomes critical when user intent conflicts with system rules.

arXiv:2601. 17226v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Counterfactual story retelling exposes LLM shortcomings in constrained narrative solution spaces where they can no longer rely on recalling memorised training data.

arXiv:2607. 19038v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating novels into films poses a grand challenge for generative artificial intelligence, requiring conversion of abstract literary prose into long-form, multi-scene visual narratives.

arXiv:2604. 11741v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in perceptual tasks, yet they degrade in complex multi-hop reasoning under multiplayer game settings with imperfect and deceptive information.

arXiv:2603. 16410v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Creative plot generation presents a fundamental challenge for language models: transforming a concise premise into a coherent narrative that sustains global coherence, character development, pacing, tone consistency, and emotional progression.

arXiv:2607. 00009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the remarkable proficiency of large language models (LLMs) in basic writing assistance, their utility in creative writing is fundamentally hindered by a persistent binary failure.

arXiv:2608. 05170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Role-playing agents (RPAs) have emerged as a key application of large language models, enabling immersive and high-fidelity character simulation.
