Honestly, I found asterisks stopped being a big impact on rule following (At least for DeepSeek V3 0324), but other than their (tiny) bulk, there aren't many improvements for conciseness. Ran your Infernatus world' system prompts through gpt and my templater, and the important rules sizes char count only increased (other tweaks could be made).
Best result:
- Swallowed prey cannot see or physically interact with anything outside their predator. They can only perceive and interact with the internal environment of the predator (e.g., stomach walls).
- Predators cannot see or directly touch the prey once fully swallowed, though they may feel their weight, movements, or squirming.
- Predator vore rules apply to the player
