ChatGPT is more suitable for novel writers because it supports multilingual styles, has more outstanding long text coherence and character shaping capabilities, while DeepSeek is better at short text generation and outline writing.
Analysis and comparison:
In the field of novel writing, ChatGPT and DeepSeek each have their own advantages, but there are significant differences in applicable scenarios.
The core advantages of ChatGPT lie in long text coherence and character shaping capabilities. Its training data covers global literature, film and television works, and can simulate suspense, romance, science fiction and other styles, while maintaining the consistency of character behavior logic. For example, users can ask to "create detective novels with a cyberpunk worldview", and ChatGPT can generate a complete story with complex social structures, technological settings and suspense plots, and the transition between chapters is natural. In addition, its multilingual support enables writers to directly create non-native works or try cross-cultural themes.
DeepSeek focuses more on short text creation and inspiration. Its advantage is that it can quickly generate story outlines, scene descriptions or character settings. For example, "designing a sect system for a cultivation novel" can instantly output a framework containing skills, regions, and conflicts. However, DeepSeek has a loose structure problem in long-form creation. Some users reported that its generated content has "too high information density and lacks plot ups and downs", such as "the excessive stacking of scientific and technological vocabulary in the cyberpunk setting leads to reading fatigue." In addition, although its Chinese context understanding is better than ChatGPT, its lack of international information breadth limits the creation of cross-cultural themes.
Selection suggestions:
- ChatGPT is suitable for writers who need a complete story structure, multilingual style or cross-cultural settings;
- DeepSeek is more suitable for short-form creation, outline writing or scenes that need to quickly obtain creative inspiration.
The combination of the two can achieve complementary advantages: first use DeepSeek to generate outlines and settings, and then use ChatGPT to expand details and improve logic.
