What is 熱度等級?
熱度等級是一個用於描述故事在性內容或浪漫程度上有多露骨的標籤，範圍從甜蜜、純潔到明顯露骨。它幫助讀者選擇與自身舒適度與心情相符的故事。
熱度等級是浪漫小說中用來指示故事中浪漫與性內容強度的內容分級。常見分類範圍從低（接吻、純潔親密、性暗示最小）到中（更具激情的場景、暗示性性行為、部分感官描寫）再到高/露骨（詳細的性行為描寫與情色語言）。熱度等級是一個面向讀者的信號——與觸發或內容警告分開——用以設定預期，讓人們選擇符合自己口味與界限的故事。負責任的標示也會將熱度等級與關於同意、年齡適宜性以及任何敏感主題的資訊搭配在一起，讓讀者能作出明智的選擇。
Usage example
在瀏覽 Endless Romance 時，將篩選設定為“舒適/低熱度”以獲得慢燃的浪漫、較少性細節的故事；或若你想要露骨的場景與情色語言，則選擇“煽情/高熱度”。
Practical application
熱度等級很重要，因為它設定清晰的期望、提升可發現性，並保護讀者的舒適度。對讀者而言，它能防止遇到出乎意料的內容，並幫助他們找到自己會喜歡的故事。對創作者與平台而言，一致的熱度等級標籤有助於年齡分級、社群標準，以及對人際關係的尊重呈現（包括明確標示的同意）。它也有助於推薦系統將使用者匹配到適合的故事類型，從而提升互動並降低負面經驗。
FAQ
How is Heat Level different from a content warning?
Heat Level describes how sexually explicit a story is, while content warnings flag specific sensitive themes (for example: non-consensual situations, sexual violence, abuse, or self-harm). A story may have a low Heat Level but still include a content warning for a sensitive topic, so it’s useful to check both.
Can I change my Heat Level preference while reading?
Many platforms and apps let you set or update browsing filters to show stories at your preferred Heat Level. Some interactive stories may let you choose the direction of intimate scenes within the plot; check story descriptions or author notes for whether branches include different Heat Levels.
Are higher Heat Levels appropriate for all ages?
No. Higher Heat Levels are intended for adult readers and should be age-restricted. Platforms and creators should apply age-gating and clear labeling so underage readers aren’t exposed to explicit content.
Does a higher Heat Level mean the story depicts healthy consent?
Not necessarily. Heat Level indicates intensity, not the quality of relationship dynamics. Always look for explicit tags or notes about consent, “consensual” labeling, or author warnings if healthy consent and boundaries are important to you.
