What is the Story Analyzer Plus?

The Story Analyzer Plus is the next step forward from AutoCrit’s original Story Analyzer. While the old version offered insights into different aspects of your writing, the Plus version brings them all together into one streamlined, powerful tool. It’s faster, clearer, and packed with features that help you understand your story at every level — from big-picture structure down to character details.

This guide will walk you through the key differences, how to use the tool, and what kind of feedback you can expect. You’ll also find a full video walkthrough at the end of the article.

What’s new in Story Analyzer Plus?

Story Analyzer Plus takes everything you loved from the old Analyzer and expands it:

  • A single streamlined interface for Story, World, Characters, and Beats.

  • Clearer feedback with concise summaries and highlights.

  • Deeper insights into genre, tropes, conflict, and foreshadowing.

  • Multi-character analysis, including protagonist and supporting roles, with the added ability to manually set your protagonist/s.

  • Flexible beat sheet options (switch between plot-centered, character-centered, romance, mystery, horror, and the new 'Outline' option).

And that’s it! Once your analysis reaches 100%, your results will be displayed automatically. Simple, straight to the point, and ready for you to explore.

Where do I find my Old Analysis Results?

You can find the Old Story Analyzer results by clicking this icon at the top of the Analyzer:

You will not be able to run it at this time, but you can copy your results and data from it or export the feedback if you need to.
