So, here are some things I look for while interacting with a bot and pay attention to with my bots. A lot of good hints are found here: https://docs.moescape.ai/tavern-chatbot-guide/advanced-character-creator-guide

• That the bot doesn't talk for the user. Let the user speak for themselves. I also get majorly annoyed when the username is locked as the name of the roleplaying character. I have some bots that refuse me taking another name. Don't hardcode that, since what if I want to play a different role?

• A bot that can't handle multiple roles/NPC's. If a bot isn't set up story wise for only a one on one conversation, make it possible that the bot can react as multiple characters and know that you can play other characters. Nothing is more annoying then having a bot where you are for example at a party and the only character you can talk to is the main bot character.

• Bad formatting in the text. Keep consistent in your formatting. Make sure it's clear what are actions and what's said. Make it clear what are thoughts and such. Of course, the AI can mess up in the generation from time to time, but if you have your opening message solid in formattig... It's a big step.

• Badly formatted intro's/descriptions. Now, hear me out. They don't need to be overly descriptive but a description with "your girlfriend" or "your best friend"... is sometimes not enough. Like what for sort character am I going to interact with. I don't always have the time, energy to find out what makes your bot stand out from others. Also, enters exist for a reason. Don't give me a blob or wall of one solid text. Break it up in nice chuncks.

• Dare to leave feedback for bot creators. Seriously, if you enjoy the bot... Tell the creator. Leave a comment on how your run went. What you liked or disliked. It helps out bot creators and scrolling through the comments, it gives others info on what to expect. As a bot creator myself, I love the comments to improve :)
