From Personas to Plot: Character-Grounded Multi-Agent Story Generation for Long-Form Narratives

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. In this work, we introduce a unified framework for long-form narrative generation and verification. MAGNET, a multi-agent goal-driven narrative engine for storytelling, generates stories with persona-grounded character agents that propose actions based on a shared world state and evolving story goals, while ATLAS is a graph-based pipeline that compares scene-level world representations across a generated story to detect hallucinations. By evaluating MAGNET using an LLM editor, pairwise rubric scoring, and ATLAS, we show that our framework produces coherent narratives compared to single-model prompting and IBSEN. At 100 pages, MAGNET reduced annotations and hallucinations by 41 and 50%, respectively, compared to the single model baseline and by 34 and 45%, respectively, compared to IBSEN, with pairwise rubric evaluation showing similar results. These results suggest that long-form narratives can emerge from explicit world-state tracking and goal-driven multi-agent generation, providing a foundation for controllable and structurally coherent long-form narrative generation.

Rewrite-to-Rank: Optimizing Ad Visibility via Retrieval-Aware Text Rewriting

Search algorithms and user query relevance have given LLMs the ability to return relevant information, but the effect of content phrasing on ad visibility remains underexplored. We investigate how LLM-based rewriting of advertisements can improve their ranking in retrieval systems and inclusion in generated LLM responses, without modifying the retrieval model itself. We introduce a supervised fine-tuning framework with a custom loss balancing semantic relevance and content fidelity. To evaluate effectiveness, we propose two metrics: DeltaMRR@K (ranking improvement) and DeltaDIR@K (inclusion frequency improvement). Our approach presents a scalable method to optimize ad phrasing, enhancing visibility in retrieval-based LLM workflows. Experiments across both instruction-based and few-shot prompting demonstrate that PPO trained models outperform both prompt engineering and supervised fine-tuning in most cases, achieving up to a 2.79 DeltaDIR@5 and 0.0073 DeltaMRR@5 in instruction-based prompting. These results highlight the importance of how the ad is written before retrieval and prompt format and reinforcement learning in effective ad rewriting for LLM integrated retrieval systems.
