I've been experimenting with AI for long-form writing and kept hitting the same two walls, context drift and formatting chaos.

With most chatbots, by chapter 5 or 6 the model starts contradicting earlier plot points, forgetting character details, or introducing inconsistencies. The only fix I've found is manually feeding in summaries of previous chapters each session, which defeats the point of using AI to save time.

Even when the writing is good, getting it into a publishable format is a separate nightmare. Margins, font embedding, image resolution, if you're targeting KDP specifically the requirements are strict enough that a clean export on the first try rarely happens.

Sudowrite feels built for short fiction rather than full manuscripts. I came across Librida recently which apparently handles rolling context summaries across chapters and exports KDP-ready manuscripts directly, hasn't been widely reviewed yet so genuinely curious if anyone here has tried it or found better solutions for this specific problem.

What's actually working for you, especially for non-fiction or structured guides where consistency across chapters matters most?
