You can ask it to make a 100,000 long story with /goal and it will do it which is cool. it’s going to be gibberish after a certain point, too much context to hold in active attention ? Let me know if you can get a full coherent 100,000 story with /goal

Asking it to draft in chapters and running an editorial review over each part before continuing is perhaps a better way of doing it.
