+
+## Introduction
+
+BookWorld is a comprehensive system for social simulation in fictional worlds through multi-agent interactions. The system features:
+
+- Scene-based story progression with multiple character agents
+- Continuous updating of agent memories, status, and goals
+- World agent orchestration of the simulation
+- Support for human intervention and control
+- LLM-based story generation and refinement
+
+## Setup
+
+### Step 1. Clone the repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-repo/bookworld.git
+cd bookworld
+```
+
+### Step 2. Install dependencies
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Step 3. Configure Simulation Settings
+- Update the configuration parameters in `config.json`:
+  - `role_llm_name`: LLM model for character roles
+  - `world_llm_name`: LLM model for world simulation
+  - `config_path`: The path to the experiment
+  - `if_save`: Enable/disable saving (1/0)
+  - `scene_mode`: Scene progression mode
+  - `rounds`: Number of simulation rounds
+  - `mode`: Simulation mode ("free" or "script")
+
+## Usage
+
+### Step 1. Start the server
+```bash
+python server.py
+```
+or
+```bash
+uvicorn server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000  
+```
+
+### Step 2. Access the web interface
+Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000.
+
+### Step 3. Interact with the system
+- Start/pause/stop story generation
+- View character information and map details
+- Monitor story progression and agent interactions
+- Edit generated content if needed
+
+### Step 4. Continue from previous simulation
+Locate the directory of the previous simulation within `/experiment_saves/`, and set its path to the `save_dir` field in `config.json`.
+
+## Customization
+### Construct Your Virtual World
+1. Create the roles, map, worldbuilding following the examples given in `/data/`. You can improve the simulation quality by providing background settings about the world in `world_details/` or put character dialogue lines in `role_lines.jsonl`. Additionally, you can place an image named `icon.(png/jpg)` inside the character's folder — this will be used as the avatar displayed in the interface.
+3. Enter the preset path to `preset_path` in `config.json`.
+
+### Convert SillyTavern Character Cards to Role Data
+1. Put your character cards in `/data/sillytavern_cards/`.
+2. Run the script. It will convert all the cards into the role data that BookWorld needs.
+```bash
+python convert_sillytavern_cards_to_data.py
+```
+3. Input role codes of all the characters participating in this simulation to `role_agent_codes` in the preset file.
