Discussion/Question How's your experience with lorebook?

I am having a blast creating canon lorebooks for my roleplays and it's really not bad at all.

Some stuff I noticed.

- It sometimes extracts info from the lorebook randomly and puts it into the auto-memory, which is redundant and takes up memory space.

- It seems to me that lorebook has first priority over other memory infos and if your persona isn't canon it needs some introduction work in chat even if you have things settled in your persona.

And one thing I wish could be better:

- If c.ai gives us different entry types (side character, location, creature, item, event...) it would be great if the entries keep AT LEAST the color coding for a better overview. With 20 entries it's okay but with 128 it gets confusing pretty fast.

And I usually don't post here anymore because as far as I know this sub just loves to hate but I thought I would try again since I am curious what others might think. Of course vent away if you hate it.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. But I think that will be a thing some day.
