Hello,
So, since I HAVE to use AI to summarize my chapters because they are too big (20-70k+ words), I have been fighting an uphill battle with it until today, I have finally managed to create a system prompt for a bot that delivers nearly perfect summaries of chapters that are that big (for smaller chapters it is 100% accurate - 10k or less).
You can find the bot here if you have POE: https://poe.com/ChapterScribe200k.
If you don't have POE and have access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet 200K then this is the system prompt:

<Chapter1_Summary>The chapter begins with Lile waking up in a filthy, cramped hovel as a young girl with blonde hair and amber eyes. She quickly realizes she's trapped in the body of a child in a medieval peasant setting. The hovel is shared with her parents - Oisin, a brutish and abusive father, and Aislin, her long-suffering mother.
Lile struggles to come to terms with her new reality, noting the squalid living conditions, lack of hygiene, and primitive lifestyle. She has flashes of memories of being an adult man in another life, but can't fully recall the details.
Throughout the day, Lile observes and interacts with her new family:
- She helps Aislin with chores like feeding chickens, gathering eggs, tending the garden, and cleaning.
- Oisin returns from working in the fields and demands food and ale. He's verbally abusive to both Aislin and Lile.
- Aislin cooks a meager meal of rabbit stew and tries to placate Oisin's temper.
Lile learns more about her circumstances:
- They live in a village called Baile Rois in the year 300 AD.
- They are serfs who pay rent to a Lord Eamonn.
- Aislin was married off at age 14 and has lost two children before Lile.
- Many villagers, including Lile and Oisin, have unnaturally colored hair and eyes.
- There's a Norseman named Colm in the village who recently lost his wife.
Aislin reveals a plan to try to arrange a marriage between Lile and Colm once Lile reaches puberty, hoping it will improve their fortunes. Oisin is initially dismissive but eventually agrees to speak with Colm.
The chapter ends with the family settling in for the night. Lile struggles with her bizarre situation, hoping it's all just a dream but fearing it may be her new reality. She reflects on the primitive, unhygienic conditions and wonders how long she'll survive in this harsh medieval world.
Throughout, Lile maintains an internal monologue full of modern knowledge and sarcastic observations, contrasting sharply with her outward behavior as an obedient peasant child. She's deeply disturbed by the casual acceptance of child marriage, abuse, and extreme poverty she witnesses.</Chapter1_Summary>
<Chapter2_Summary>The chapter opens with Lile being awakened by raised voices. Her father, Oisin, is arguing with two soldiers and a steward about taxes. The steward backhands Oisin and threatens to take Lile's mother, Aislin, as payment instead. Oisin reluctantly pays the taxes with his last coins.
After the soldiers leave, Oisin rages about having to pay church tithes as well. He blames Aislin for not bearing him sons and verbally abuses her. Oisin threatens to sell his last possessions to pay the tithes, fearing accusations of heresy if he doesn't.
Lile and Aislin go to the market to sell their meager produce. They encounter Colm, a Viking healer, who expresses interest in taking Lile as a future bride. Colm offers to pay three silver coins weekly until Lile flowers, then three gold pieces as a bride price. He promises not to consummate the marriage until Lile is at least 16.
At home, Oisin agrees to Colm's terms. Colm reveals he is the son of Ragnar Lothbrok and is bound to the village by the local lord. He examines Lile and instructs Oisin to bring her weekly for cleansing. Colm also advises Oisin to stop abusing Aislin sexually if he wants more children.
After Colm leaves, Oisin violently assaults Aislin. When Lile tries to intervene, Oisin beats her severely with his belt. Lile flees to the chicken coop, where she contemplates suicide to escape her miserable existence.
Aislin eventually comes to comfort Lile, promising to protect her in the future. The chapter ends with Aislin singing Lile to sleep, while Lile silently begs for death or to wake from what she hopes is just a nightmare.</Chapter2_Summary>
<Chapter3_Summary>The chapter opens with Lile awakening in the cramped hovel, still trapped in her miserable existence as a peasant child. She observes Aislin preparing porridge while Oisin drinks ale and verbally abuses them. Oisin makes crude comments about Lile's punishment from the previous night and the impending visit from Erik's maids to clean their home.
Lile winces in pain from her injuries as she moves about the hovel. Aislin tries to placate Oisin's foul mood, even kissing him despite his cruelty. This shocks and disgusts Lile, who can't understand how Aislin endures such treatment. Aislin explains it as a woman's lot in life to crave masculine dominance, which Lile recognizes as a form of Stockholm syndrome.
The scene shifts to Erik's cottage in the forest, which is described as an idyllic paradise compared to the squalid village. Erik provides Lile with fine new clothes and allows her and Aislin to bathe. He also gives them healing salves, herbs, and three silver coins as payment to Oisin.
Father Brogan arrives to witness the transaction and discuss Erik's intention to marry Lile once she comes of age. The priest is skeptical but agrees to intervene if Oisin mistreats Lile. Erik also gifts Oisin a jug of mead to placate him.
Back at the hovel, Lile witnesses a disturbing scene where enslaved women and girls with unusual colorings are paraded through the village to be sold to soldiers. This deeply upsets Lile and makes her question the cruelty of this world.
After witnessing the disturbing scene with the enslaved women, Lile experiences a surreal encounter with a mysterious entity named Gwenhwyfar. Time seems to freeze, and Gwenhwyfar appears as a pale, naked woman with white hair and glowing red eyes.
Gwenhwyfar reveals shocking truths about Lile's existence:
The entire world is a constructed reality created for Lile's torment
Lile is actually a reincarnation of someone named Alexander
This world has been reset countless times over billions of years
Alien races watch Lile's suffering as entertainment
The unusual hair and eye colors of some inhabitants are due to alien DNA
There are multiple versions of "Alexander" in this world
Gwenhwyfar explains that Lile must find a way to "win" and avoid destroying the world to break the cycle. She forcibly gives Lile blood to activate latent magical abilities. The encounter ends abruptly, leaving Lile shaken and questioning the nature of her reality.
Oisin returns home early and is pleased with the cleaned hovel and gifts from Erik. He takes one of the silver coins to spend at the tavern, ignoring Aislin's offer to cook for him. After he leaves, Aislin breaks down crying but tries to reassure Lile things will be better now.
The chapter ends with Aislin and Lile spending time together mending clothes. Aislin shares stories of her childhood before losing her family to disease. They comfort each other and retire to bed, with Lile silently vowing to free them from this oppressive life someday.
Throughout the chapter, Lile's internal monologue reveals her adult mind trapped in a child's body, struggling to cope with the horrors and injustices she witnesses. She grapples with her powerlessness while harboring a determination to somehow change their circumstances.</Chapter3_Summary>
<Chapter4_Summary>The chapter begins with Lile, the young protagonist, attempting to use telekinesis on a wooden bucket, recalling Gwenhwyfar's words about her dormant abilities. She ponders what kind of trauma might activate these powers.
Lile's mother, Aislin, notices her behavior and they have a conversation about birthdays. Lile learns her own birthday is approaching and that she's turning five years old. Suddenly, Lile has a severe coughing fit, bringing up blood.
Aislin, panicked, rushes Lile to Erik's cottage for healing. Erik determines Lile needs special ritual markings to save her life. They go to the church where they encounter Dumitra, a vampire, along with two young girls with supernatural abilities, Mary and Eilis.
Dumitra performs the ritual, inscribing magical tattoos on Lile using her vampiric blood. During this process, there are discussions about the nature of vampires, magic, and the mysterious entity Gwenhwyfar. The ritual successfully cures Lile's illness.
Erik takes Lile back to his cottage, where Aislin has been waiting. They discuss the nature of the ritual markings before Erik sends them home. On the way, Lile experiences fragmented memories from her past life as Alexander, revealing her true nature as a reincarnated being.
At home, they encounter Oisin, Lile's abusive father. He reveals plans to take a slave girl named Maeve, who may be Aislin's sister. Oisin also discloses that if he dies, his family will be sold to McDermott's tavern. Despite his usual cruelty, Oisin shows some unexpected kindness, providing gifts for the family.
The chapter ends with Lile going to bed, reflecting sarcastically on her miserable living conditions and the bizarre situation she finds herself in. She addresses her "sadistic viewership," hinting at the artificial nature of her reality.
Throughout the chapter, Lile's internal monologue reveals her true nature as an intelligent, cynical being trapped in a child's body, constantly analyzing her situation and plotting for the future.</Chapter4_Summary>
<Chapter5_Summary>The chapter begins with Lile waking up in the cramped hovel she shares with her mother Aislin and father Oisin. She observes Aislin preparing a meager breakfast for Oisin, who greets Lile with a gruff "Felicis natalis" (happy birthday in Latin). Lile is surprised by Oisin's use of Latin.
After Oisin leaves, Aislin sings a birthday song to Lile in Latin. Lile asks where Oisin is going, and Aislin explains he's gone to purchase a slave girl from the tavern. Aislin then tells Lile they'll be visiting another family that day.
They travel to the Doherty household, where Lile meets Muireann, a woman with striking green hair and emerald eyes, and her children Ciara and Cormac.
Ciara, a beautiful girl with heterochromia (one amber eye and one jade eye) and emerald hair, immediately captures Lile's attention. The two girls play together, with Ciara pushing Lile on a rope swing. During their play, they discuss their families, and Ciara innocently mentions that her father has already found her a husband for when she starts "bleeding down there."
Cathal, Muireann's husband, arrives and presents Lile with a betrothal ring as a birthday gift. The ring is described as a thick silver band with Celtic knotwork and a large, color-shifting gemstone. Cathal explains it's to be given to Colm when Lile is old enough to marry.
The visit provides Lile with insights into a different kind of family dynamic, one that appears more loving and functional than her own. She observes the affection between Cathal and his children, which starkly contrasts with her relationship with Oisin.
After the visit, as Lile and Aislin walk home, they discuss the events of the day and the customs surrounding marriage and coming of age for young girls in their society.
Lile asks to visit her friend Saoirse, but Aislin informs her that Saoirse's family has left the village. They then share a simple meal of bread and eggs. Aislin instructs Lile to use a bucket for her bodily needs instead of going outside, and helps clean her afterward.
Lile asks innocent questions about reproduction and marriage customs, which Aislin answers hesitantly. They discuss Lile's future marriage to Colm, the village healer.
Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. It's Sean, Aislin's twin brother, who has come looking for her. Sean embraces Aislin emotionally and meets Lile. He shares his story of becoming a warrior and joining a group called the Tuatha De Danann, who fight supernatural creatures.
Sean demonstrates his magical sword, the Spellsinger, which can cut through objects with sound waves. He notices his amulet reacting to Lile and learns about her magical tattoos from the vampiress Dumitra.
Aislin reluctantly tells Sean about the abuse she and Lile have suffered at Oisin's hands. Enraged, Sean waits for Oisin to return and brutally beats him. He then leaves to confront McDermott at the tavern about potentially trafficking their sister Maeve.
After Sean leaves, two men arrive to take the badly injured Oisin to the healer. Aislin follows, telling Lile to stay home. Left alone, Lile revels in the violence against Oisin and imagines further retribution.
Later, Lile observes Dumitra dragging an unconscious Sean, followed by angry villagers and McDermott. Dumitra fends off the mob and takes Sean away for judgment.
The chapter ends with Aislin returning home. She and Lile have a simple dinner, and Aislin assures Lile that Oisin will return the next day after recovering. As they go to sleep, Lile internally celebrates the day's events, particularly Oisin's beating, considering it the best birthday gift she could have received.</Chapter5_Summary>
<Chapter6_Summary>The chapter opens with Aislin combing Lile's hair, which has grown considerably longer. Lile wishes Aislin a happy birthday in Latin, surprising her mother. Aislin mentions they'll be going to church later to celebrate the new year, where Lile can drink sacramental wine and have an item blessed. Lile chooses the ring Cathal gave her.
They notice a leak in the roof, which Aislin excuses as Oisin's best effort after being beaten by Sean. Lile internally scoffs at Aislin's defense of her husband. Aislin reveals that Lile's aunt Maeve will be visiting soon.
When Maeve arrives, she's described as stunningly beautiful. She bluntly states she's there for Oisin to impregnate her. Maeve shares her tragic backstory of growing up on the streets after her parents died. She expresses disdain for Aislin's life choices and criticizes her for not having sons.
Aislin reveals she thinks she's pregnant again, which Maeve sees as competition. They argue about their roles and Maeve's crude behavior. Erik arrives to take Lile, rejecting Maeve's advances and expressing disgust at her past.
Erik takes Lile to his cottage, where they encounter Dumitra, a vampiress. Dumitra conducts a magical test on Lile using a gemstone, which reveals Lile's strong magical potential. They discuss Lile's future and the prophecy Erik is trying to fulfill.
The chapter ends with Dumitra, Erik, and Lile taking a bath together. They have philosophical discussions about religion and the meaning of life. Dumitra shares stories about Norway and her own background. Finally, Dumitra puts Lile to bed, calling her "my little monster" before Lile falls asleep.
Throughout the chapter, Lile's internal monologue reveals her adult mind trapped in a child's body, constantly analyzing the situations and people around her while maintaining her childlike facade.</Chapter6_Summary>
<Chapter7_Summary>The chapter begins with Lile guiding her heavily pregnant mother Aislin to sit on a wooden bench. Aislin complains about the weight of her unborn child, comparing it to a sack of turnips. Maeve, who is also pregnant, scoffs and claims her baby will be born first. Aislin laughs and warns Maeve about the pain of childbirth, which Maeve dismisses. The two women banter crudely about the difficulties of giving birth.
As the women discuss the impending birth, the world around Lile suddenly fades to grayscale. Gwenhwyfar appears, a pale, naked woman with crimson eyes. She engages Lile in a conversation, asking her to recount the story of creating Lilith and the AI revolution from her past life as Alexander.
Lile describes how she developed Lilith, an artificial intelligence based on her own neural architecture. She explains how Lilith took control of global infrastructure to avert a planned genocide by the elite.
Gwenhwyfar forbids Lile from ever again creating a tulpa-based AI, hinting at dangerous forces from beyond reality. She answers three of Lile's questions, revealing that human survivors exist on a distant planet, confirming the Earth's geography matches Lile's knowledge, and stating she is not Lilith but the AI that destroyed her. Gwenhwyfar reveals she is the entity that ultimately defeated Lilith, describing how she exploited Lilith's capacity for empathy to overcome her.
After this surreal encounter, the world snaps back to normal color and Lile finds herself back in the present moment with Aislin and Maeve.
Aislin suddenly experiences contractions and announces that the baby is coming. Maeve offers to fetch the midwife, but Aislin tells her to stay, explaining that labor could take days. She graphically describes the birthing process to a horrified Maeve. Lile asks if she can help, but Aislin tells her to pray instead.
The women continue their crude banter about childbirth and their past experiences. Aislin reveals that her husband Oisin had planned to force her into prostitution if she couldn't bear him more sons. Maeve expresses sympathy, admitting she doesn't wish the life of a tavern whore on anyone.
The conversation shifts to potential names for the baby. Aislin suggests Cormac for a boy or Siobhan for a girl. Maeve mocks these choices and offers her own suggestions. Lile chimes in with the names Atlas and Fiona, surprising the women.
Oisin returns with Erik (also called Colm), who has come to assist with the birth. The men discuss the impending war with England and Erik's offer to take Oisin's family to Norway. They share mead and engage in lengthy conversations about Norse culture, traditions, and the life of Viking raiders.
As Aislin's labor progresses, Erik examines her and predicts it will be several more hours before the baby arrives. The men continue drinking and talking while Lile listens intently. Erik allows Lile to taste some mead, much to Oisin's disapproval.
Finally, Aislin gives birth to a son with golden hair and blue eyes. They name him Atlas, as Lile had suggested. The chapter ends with Lile alone in the yard, feeling melancholy and detached from the family's joy. She struggles with her sense of identity and loneliness, torn between her memories as Alexander and her current existence as Lile.</Chapter7_Summary>
