About this tool
Readers search “spice level,” “closed door romance,” and “content warnings” as different questions. Spice is only how sex is shown: sweet or clean, closed door, fade to black, open door, or explicit. A violent book can still be closed door, and an explicit book can have no other warnings. There is no single chili-pepper scale — Harlequin, StoryGraph, and BookTok each use their own words — so this tool names the scene type and quotes the line. Tropes such as enemies to lovers or forced proximity are tagged only when the paste shows them. A quote that is not in your text is marked so you can delete the tag.
What you can do
- Trope, content-warning, and spice tags from the pasted text
- A spice read: none, closed door, fade to black, open door, or explicit
- Each tag quotes the passage that triggered it
- Quotes that are not in the paste are marked, so a guessed tag is visible
- Capped list — fewer accurate tags instead of a guessed dump
- Separate from the blurb builder, which hides spoilers on purpose
Planning tools and long-form structure
Novels fail when structure is improvised scene by scene. Beat sheets, chapter planners, and blurb builders help you decide pacing and reader promises before you spend tokens on prose. Pair these tools with an outline in Entangled Text so generation follows a spine.

How to use it
- Paste a chapter or the scenes you are unsure how to label.
- Set genre if you have one. It is optional context, not a tag of its own.
- Generate. Read each quote next to its tag.
- Delete any tag whose quote does not mean what the label says.
- Use the survivors on your retailer page, a back-matter note, or a retailer content form.
Tips for fiction authors
- Spice is about what is on the page, not what the characters want. A kiss with a fade is not open-door.
- Run the hottest chapter and the darkest chapter separately if they live far apart. One paste has a length limit.
- A trope tag is a promise. “Enemies to lovers” on a book that never makes them lovers will draw the wrong reader.
- Warnings are for the reader’s safety, not for a content score. If you are unsure, keep the warning.
- Do not paste someone else’s copyrighted book to label it. Label your own draft.

Common questions
What is the difference between closed door, fade to black, and open door?
Closed door means the scene stops before sex and does not describe it. Fade to black steps up to the encounter and cuts away. Open door describes the sex on the page. Explicit is open door with graphic detail. This tool picks one overall read from the paste and still lists the lines that drove it.
Will this spoil my book?
The tags can name events that are in the paste, because a warning that hides the event is not a warning. Do not paste the tag list into a blurb if you want the store page to stay spoiler-free. The blurb builder is the tool that hides the ending.
How do I know a tag is not a hallucination?
Every tag includes a quotation. The page checks whether that quotation appears in your paste. If it does not, the tag is marked “not in your paste.” Delete those. Even a found quotation can be a misread — you still decide.
What content warnings should a novel include?
The ones that are in the book: violence, sexual content, child harm, self-harm, abuse, slurs, animal harm, and anything else a reader in your genre expects to be told up front. There is no universal required list. Retailers and review sites differ. Quote the scene, then decide if that scene needs a label.
Can I use this for romance tropes?
Yes. Grumpy and sunshine, only one bed, marriage of convenience, and the rest are tagged only when the paste supports them, with the line that shows it. A trope the model merely expects from the genre should not survive your quote check.
Does this rate the heat level of a whole series?
It rates the paste. A later book can be hotter. Run each volume, or paste the hottest chapter if that is the label you need on the series page.
Is this the same as Story X-ray?
No. Story X-ray is a local scan of cast, point of view, tense, and repeated phrasing. It does not assign trope or spice labels, and it does not quote a passage as the reason for a warning.
Is the content warning generator free?
Yes. It uses Entangled Text’s included AI. Your chapter is sent for the generation. You do not need your own API key.
Is spice the same as a content warning?
No. Spice describes on-page sex. A content warning describes something a reader may need to know first, such as violence, abuse, or self-harm. Report them separately. A closed-door thriller can still need a violence warning.
What should I call a sweet or clean romance?
If the paste has no sex, the spice read is “No on-page sex.” Readers also search sweet romance and clean romance for that shelf. Closed door means desire is on the page and the sex is not. Fade to black starts the scene and cuts away.
