Hello! This should be (not) so simple, but let's start.
To start off, let's go about the series. The novel is called A Novel Concept, a LitRPG Webnovel that is published on RoyalRoad. It currently has over 14 million views, and the author makes (estimate)bare-minimum 2000 dollars a month just from this novel in Patreon, likely in 4000 range ngl.
Edit: I was wrong with my estimate. Looking back on way back machines when the monthly money was available to see, he gets around 6000~ish dollars a month.
So, here is the current profile of the main protagonist, Priam:
Pretty much everything there is finished, with only 1 easy calculation remaining to be evaluated and that is it.
The current page covers till chapter 96-98 (With some referencing way beyond), of which there are 460 chapters. The way I'm planning to separate keys is going by Tribulations, so the first key would be shortly after finishing the First Tribulation Trial.
The current profile, while not complete, does contain the most important controversial abilities, such as Concept Manipulation (Type 3, to 2, and to 1) as well as Information Manipulation (Type 2). And these need a discussion.
I'm honestly not sure if it fits Type 2 Info. Some said it does, but some also thought it was something else (Metaphysics).
I'm open to more options ngl.
There are other statements like this;
As for the Soul, this part is tricky. It is stated to be the core, the foundation of one's being, and the very essence of a being. It was also described as the "Uniqueness" of a being, the true expression of individuality and the house of Concepts.
Now, for the most part, that seems like either normal soul stuff, or Concept Type 3, but there is a problem. The soul houses Concept/Concept Fragments, ie """parts""" of concepts (Not exactly sure how it works) which is why the MC can manipulate certain Concepts and stuff, and his Domain being imprinted with the Concept. The problem is that since the soul houses those concepts, would the soul need to be type 2, or 1? I'm honestly unsure.
Now why would that matter? Well, let's start with Priam (and it would stay with priam lmao). He has a skill called [Manipulation Resistance], and it does this;
The thing is, there were multiple instances where he was feared, but after leveling it up once or twice, he managed to resist the fear.
For example, in his fight against a Wyvern, Priam was almost pissing himself out of fear;
That's not the only instance either, for when Priam entered a building with a statue of a god, he was overcome by fear and terror, with spasms overcoming his body, his skills automatically deactivating without him noticing, preventing him breathing, and kind of even in a mind control;
Yet right after, his Manipulation Resistance rose up by a level, which managed to make him wake up and resist the aura, and then, oh boy, piss... on the statue of the god that caused him fear.
Don't ask.
There are also instances of poison manipulation where he is able to resist poison in just a few minutes, but you get the point.
Anyways, it is clear that with just a level or two, one can pretty much get a layer of resistance against something majority of the time (It's a bit more complicated than that since there are rarities for skills but still). However, I'm not sure if that's enough to assume that 1-2 levels always equals a layer (ignoring stuff like fire manipulation, obviously), and I'd appreciate any input on this.
If it does, then almost every skill Priam has will be layered by quite a bit (In 10+ range, for the majority of skills. Some skills are more wonky than others, some have higher levels while others are still in the single digits)
That's about it, honestly. I mostly made this to just address the controversial stuff (CM, Info, etc...), and to see if there are any issues with the current profile and what should I do or add, or if there is something wrong with it.

About Info Type 2
Aether is the thing that is considered as Type 2 Info, and that's because;Aether is the fundamental, primordial fluid that kind exists everywhere, and make the fundamental particles and vectors of all forces, and dictate the laws of all that exist. Hell, it was even mentioned that there was something called "Aetherial Code" which all beings have (Although not elaborated on a lot yet)
I'm honestly not sure if it fits Type 2 Info. Some said it does, but some also thought it was something else (Metaphysics).
I'm open to more options ngl.
About Concepts
Now this part is a bit screwed. So, there are Concepts in the world (Some are considered god tier entities, not just normal concepts), and we have these kinds of statements about the Concepts;The above is after learning a bit about the Concept of Mist iirc, and it is kind of obvious that they are universals. But whether they are Type 1, I'm not sure, but the quote does say it created lives, dreams and concepts, and worlds.
There are other statements like this;
Which means those with Domains control it via their mind and concepts. And concepts one understands give their attributes more to the wielder, such as Priam passively generating Mist and having Mist in his eyes after understanding slightly about the concept of Mist.
As for the Soul, this part is tricky. It is stated to be the core, the foundation of one's being, and the very essence of a being. It was also described as the "Uniqueness" of a being, the true expression of individuality and the house of Concepts.

Layering!
Oh boy. This is a bit complicated, but this novel is a LitRPG novel, which means it has a sort of game-like system, and the characters get skills/abilities/titles/talents and stuff like that, and those things level up.Now why would that matter? Well, let's start with Priam (and it would stay with priam lmao). He has a skill called [Manipulation Resistance], and it does this;
This covers fear manipulation as well, and really majority of stuff that affects the mind. So by default, he already has baseline resistance.
The thing is, there were multiple instances where he was feared, but after leveling it up once or twice, he managed to resist the fear.
For example, in his fight against a Wyvern, Priam was almost pissing himself out of fear;
Then right after, his Manipulation Resistance increased in level, and he managed to somewhat move;
However, he still gets scared of the Wyvern, albeit to a slightly lesser extent:
However... he then leveled up his Manipulation resistance, and was pretty much able to act normally afterwards, and even fight the Wyvern:
So, in just 2 level ups for his passive skill, he was able to overcome a fear strong enough to paralyze and made him panic as hell.
That's not the only instance either, for when Priam entered a building with a statue of a god, he was overcome by fear and terror, with spasms overcoming his body, his skills automatically deactivating without him noticing, preventing him breathing, and kind of even in a mind control;
Reaching the coffin, Priam prevented the lid from closing and, by forcing it, blocked the mechanism. Feeling oppressed, he raised his eyes. The pressure exerted by the statue of Viracocha was terrifying, and Priam could have sworn it was watching him. As drops of sweat began to appear on his forehead, he looked up at the false god.
His body began to tremble and Priam broke out in a cold sweat. Higher Tiers weren't just about accumulating more attributes. Qualitative changes were taking place, and he felt overwhelmed by the divine aura. Spasms soon overcame Priam.
Yet he refused to look down. His ultimate goal, the one he had chased all his life and for which he had selected maximum difficulty in the Tutorial, was to be free. He refused to bow to a false god. In an instant, [Eidetic Memory] showed him all the moments of his life when he had dreamed of his freedom. Priam groaned, gritting his teeth.
Black dots began appearing in his vision, and Priam staggered. Micro had deactivated itself without him noticing.
A feeling of absence seized him and Priam slapped himself. The pain woke him up. He was now on his knees, still looking at Viracocha. His chest was numb, preventing him from breathing. The statue and the god behind it threatened to break his will. He would never be free. He was only a weak human…

Lvl up: [Manipulation Resistance] lvl 2
WILL +3
Mobilizing all his willpower, Priam slowly stood up and pulled down his pants.
"I'm free."
Priam looked Viracocha in the eye and began to urinate on the statue.

Tl;Dr
- Adding the MC to the wiki
- Concepts are Type 2, possibly Type 1 because they are obviously universal, and create worlds and stuff.
- Info 2 is because Aether is the fundamental energy that dictates all the laws of the universe, and everything is made of it, including Concepts.
- Layering will be a bit dense. Every level or two would grant a layer, so almost of Priam's (MC) skills and abilities will be layered.
