Story RaterAn honest score for your story

Paste it and find out. The rater returns an honest score with six sub-scores — prose, character, plot, originality, emotion, and dialogue — calibrated for everyday fiction rather than the literary canon. Average amateur work lands around 5.5–7; strong work reaches 7–8. You also get a plain-language note on what's working and what to push further.

Yes — that's exactly what this does. It reads your prose against its own apparent intent and genre, then returns a structured critique: an overall score, six sub-scores, the moments that land, and the ones to revise. Treat it as a fast, honest first reader, not a final verdict — then trust your own judgment.

Yes — paste one chapter at a time. The tool caps input at about 10,000 characters, so longer works are best rated a chapter or scene at a time rather than all at once. Each chapter gets its own score and permalink, which also makes it easy to compare where the manuscript is strongest.

Six sub-scores: prose, character, plot, originality, emotion, and dialogue, plus an overall that leans toward the weaker axes. Average reasonable amateur fiction scores 5.5–7. Strong amateur work 7–8. Real craftsmanship 8.5+. Calibrated against everyday writing, not Chekhov or Morrison.

Yes — 2 tool runs per visitor per day, shared across all Storgy tools. No account required, and the count resets every 24 hours. Signing in lifts the cap slightly and lets you keep your ratings together in one place.

Each rating lives at a permalink with an unguessable short id — it isn't indexed by search engines, but anyone with the link can open it, so it isn't fully private. Don't paste anything sensitive or unpublished you need kept secret. For low-stakes drafts and workshop sharing, the link works well.
