How to structure prompts
2. Describe visible elements
Use subjects, setting, outfit, prop, light, and weather: things the model can show.
3. Add relationship and emotion
Dream-novel prompts need distance words like childhood friend, secret relationship, protected, or meeting eyes.
4. Add finish instructions
Use cinematic visual novel style, dark palette, soft pink light, and no text for Yumejo-style assets.
Prompt formula
Write who appears, where they are, how close they are, what emotion the scene carries, and what style should guide the image.
Subject Relationship Setting Emotion Style Composition
Avoid text in images
For covers and cards, generate the art without text and add lettering separately.
