I did Dungeon Crawler Carl - hilariously wrong

graph TD A[Carl] -->|Pet| B[Princess Donut] A -->|Enemy| C[Mordecai] A -->|Allies| D[Ellie] A -->|Allies| E[Katia] A -->|Enemy| F[The System] B -->|Rival| G[Bea] D -->|Friend| E E -->|Friend| A

I tried "The Wise Man's Fear" and the results were not so great[1]. It got a good number of the characters, but only showed them being related to Kvothe. Harry potter worked better'ish, but still not great[2]. My primary interest would be using these relational graphs to generate better structured summaries of stories in a structured JSON object for improved search/recommendations. - [1] https://austen.pages.dev/ecbc…

The thought of The Kingkiller Chronicle hasn't crossed my mind in many years, and now I have renewed sadness that the story will never be finished. :'(

Tried Book of the New Sun. Apparently Terminus Est (a sword) is Severian’s companion, and it completely fails to mention Dorcas. Oh well.

Then tried Little, Big by John Crowley and the relationships were probably wrong. I mean, Sylvia might be related to George Mouse, but probably should not have a family connection to Daily Alice.
