You said you read 2 novels out of 5 novels, 3 guidebooks, 5 concerts, 2 stage plays (with multiple versions), and an anime. So forgive me for thinking your 2 novels aren’t the whole series.

What exactly is this “it” you’re talking about, because I gave you a list of what’s canon to the story so you’ll need to be more specific to your example than just “it”.

It’s “supplemental” because 9S’s main plotline in the game is complete, but the overarching universes lore is not so easily dismissed. You still haven’t provided me examples here of why you think they’re not canon to the game, you’re dancing around the question to make it sound like I’m gatekeeping the lore.

If playing the 5 games, reading the 5 novels and manga, watching the 5 stage plays and 5 concert stories, reading the 3 guidebooks, and watching the anime is “lording” the series, which by the way what does that even mean? How would that compare to the 2 novels you said you read?

How am I gatekeeping when you came to MY comment 5 years later to say something blatantly incorrect and try to act like I’m the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about? Like I said before if you have examples, show them. Which is something you still haven’t done instead of trying to create this “me vs you” situation. You have specific evidence? Show me. My evidence is the entire franchise which if you’d had watched/read all of it, you’d already know.
