I get what you're saying. Hopefully I can provide some context behind why this happens.SpicyChat has by far worst narration I ever saw for reasons I mentioned before. AI rush you through scenes, it decides for you (what you think and do) and most of it's texts goes to character inner monologue which soon become very repeating and boring.
I've used spicychat a lot and made a couple characters and tested them rigorously before releasing them. It really depends on the quality of the inputs the creator puts into the characters personality and example dialogue for the AI to learn from. Spicychat AI has token memory limitation, and every word and punctuation mark counts as one token. If a person creates a chatbot with only ~200 tokens worth of information, the bot isn't going to be very good and will repeat things a lot and say robotic/scripted lines. I usually aim for ~1000 tokens all things considered, as I've found that makes the bot way more unique.
I also always make sure to include a line in their personality definition that says "Don't speak or act on behalf of the user under any circumstances", as not including that results in a lot of situations where the bot decides and says things for you. Many bots on the site, even the most popular ones, don't include this line and it's hugely important.
A lot of characters/scenarios on the site, at the end of the day, are just empty husks with just a sentence or two of definition and no example dialogue at all, so the AI has to fill in the gaps without much context, and that does result in a very lackluster experience.
As for the "inner dialogue" part, this also has to do with how the creator of the bot set up the characters personality. I personally use these to describe scenes and be more detailed about what I'm doing and thinking as well as what the character is doing and thinking. It makes setting up scenes feel more like a story than a chat, which I like a lot.
However, as I mentioned before, this also is factored into the token memory limitation, so a bot that was created to be more detailed in describing scenes will forget things sooner. I don't mind this so much, because I can just go in and edit their response to make them remember stuff, but it is annoying sometimes.
Sorry about the wall of text! Hopefully this helps.
