Introduction
In this thread I wish to establish the prelude novel series of Frieren as a Secondary Canon adaptation officially commissioned and supervised by the original creator, whose original content is useable when non-contradicted by the Primary Canon.Supervision
- The novel series was personally commissioned by the original author Kanehito Yamada
- All store pages for the prelude novel notes its development as officially supervised by the original author Kanehito Yamada
- The original novel announcement notes its development as officially supervised by the original author Kanehito Yamada
- The audiobook announcement notes its development as officially supervised by the original author Kanehito Yamada
- Its chapter art is illustrated by the original artist Tsukasa Abe
- Mei Hachimoku thanks the original author Kanehito Yamada for “all the generous supervision”
- The original author Kanehito Yamada states they “had great fun supervising its creation”
Consistency
The novel connects and stays consistent to the manga series throughout, including:- Fern’s backstory recounting Heiter’s intervention to save her
- Heiter establishing the boulder test for Fern to be declared a fully fledged mage
- Stark first saving the village from the dragon
- Lawine and Kanne training together at the Magic Academy
- Aura’s encounter and defeat by Himmel
- Frieren’s flashy spell display against Aura’s puppet army
- The recounting of the establishment of Flamme’s thousand year barrier spell
- Flamme only ever teaching Frieren how to fight
- Frieren returning to the Royal Capital for the black dragon horn in time for the meteor shower
Conclusion
As an original author-commissioned work supervised and illustrated by the same pair that wrote the manga that remains consistent and faithful to the original work, the prequel novel adaptations should be recognized as Secondary Canon whose original non-contradicted content is usable as opposed to Tertiary Canon (which is for adaptations not overseen by the author).(6:7) Agree: @God_of_perversion, @LiewtiStar, @MrKerf, @Greg_the_master_of_gods, @Xdsagecat, @KingTempest, @Bernkastelll, @Pearly0nsams, @AstraphelNoctis4, @LephyrTheRevanchist, @Nierre, @DarkDragonMedeus, @Elizhaa
