ZeHaffen wrote: he remains neutral and gives hints Lmao, he doesn't remain neutral at all. He posted it on a section of his website (before the series was officially published) separate from the series itself, and now asks people to forget about the thing.

Also, good joke pretending the games have anything to do with the canon. To corroborate on this side of the argument with more facts: Reki also told people on Twitter how he now regrets writing it due to the sheer number of times he's needed to tell fans that it ISN'T canon to the main series. Even to the original Web Novel, the continuity of which it was written for, he explicitly referred to it as a fanfiction that wasn't part of the main story.

And using non-canon game adaptations that the original author had little involvement in (sans character designs) is indeed a weak counterpoint, especially when said-games still confirm nothing.
