✓ Timeline View catches impossible event sequences immediately

Challenge: Red Herring Tracking

"Did I ever resolve that suspicious detail from Chapter 3?"

✓ Plot thread tracking shows unresolved story elements

Managing a Fantasy Series

Fantasy requires complex world-building and consistent magic systems. Here's how Novelium helps:
