🎬 THE KEY TAKEAWAY

Vocabulary controls how sophisticated your writing sounds.

Level 1 = Simple, casual ("on edge," "fix things")
Level 10 = Elevated, literary ("beset by trepidation," "septenary cycle")

You control the register. YA fiction? Keep it simple. Literary fiction? Elevate it. Period drama? Go full Victorian. That's vocabulary control.

About Voice Clarity: The Romance Fiction preset is calibrated for optimal voice preservation. When you push sliders to extreme positions (1 or 10), Voice Clarity drops—that's intentional. The Equalizer measures how far you've deviated from your baseline voice, so you always know. That's not a flaw. That's integrity.
