"Satisfaction" is the core product of web fiction. This skill is responsible for designing and strengthening wish-fulfillment scenes, especially face-slapping.
When to use
- Designing face-slapping / showing off / hiding one's strength and playing the fool / comeback / revenge scenes
- The plot is too bland, readers say it "isn't satisfying"
- A wish-fulfillment moment needs to be written to feel more cathartic
Three-stage satisfaction closed loop
Any wish-fulfillment moment follows:
压抑 → 蓄势 → 释放
- Suppression: write the injustice / mockery / crisis concretely (the more concrete, the more satisfying the release)
- Building momentum: the protagonist endures / schemes / awakens (for Tomato-style, must release within 1–2 chapters; for Qidian-style, can build for 3–5 chapters)
- Release: face-slapping / turning the tables / crushing, fully write out the external display of satisfaction
Four beats of face-slapping (most commonly used)
1. 嘲讽：反派/众人看不起主角，越嚣张越好
2. 沉默：主角不辩解，淡淡出手（蓄势的张力）
3. 碾压：实力/真相/反转一击致命
4. 围观：旁观者的震惊反应——这一拍最容易被新手漏掉，但最爽
Wish-fulfillment escalation chain (anti-fatigue)
The same kind of wish-fulfillment moment cannot be repeated in place; it must escalate the target / scale / method:
打脸同窗 → 打脸长辈 → 打脸宗门 → 打脸天才 → 打脸大势力 → 打脸天道
Before designing, first ask: what was the "magnitude" of the last wish-fulfillment moment of the same kind? This time it must be higher.
Workflow
- Confirm the wish-fulfillment type (call
references/trope-library.md's 23 elements for selection) - Confirm the channel: male-oriented emphasizes power crushing, female-oriented emphasizes emotional catharsis / dignified face-slapping (call
references/channel-guide.md） - Design the scene according to the three-stage structure + four beats of face-slapping
- Check whether it has escalated compared with previous works of the same kind
- Output the scene outline or directly write the segment
Channel differences
- Male-oriented face-slapping: power crushing, challenging above one's level, onlookers gasping in shock
- Female-oriented face-slapping: make those who looked down on me regret it, dignified catharsis, slapping the white lotus without losing class (the author's material library's household intrigue scenes)
Output
【爽点类型】
【压抑】具体的不公/嘲讽
【蓄势】主角怎么忍/怎么布局
【释放】打脸四拍逐拍
【升级】比上次同类爽在哪
Next step
Once the scene is set → use expand to write it into the main text; to check the wish-fulfillment density of the whole book → use review。
