Solo leveling arise canon?

Going off our acceptable canon page, this wouldn't really qualify as it mentions that even author approval, minor supervision, and trying to make a fateful adaptation isn't enough. To me, yes, going off that Q&A, it's clear they're trying to make a fateful adaptation and working close with the creators but that's literally what they're suppose to do, it's still suppose to be Solo Leveling at the end of the day so obviously it should be similar. The alternative timelines/worlds existing but I don't see a mention that this is suppose to be one of those alternative worlds and canon to series. Yes, profiles could be made, it would be a Solo Leveling verse but I wouldn't say it's information can be used as general

Basically, what I see from the information in the OP is "We created a Solo Leveling game that is close to the original story and worked closely with the creators to make this adaptation as fateful as possible, incorporating elements from the original story.". However, what I don't see is a statement like "This story is one of the alternative timelines/worlds from the canon Solo Leveling story, that's been mentioned in the original story.". You also mentioned the game expanded on stuff from the organization story but that can actually work against the canon claim cause it's adding its own stuff and unless it's alluded to in canon. Honestly, this just looks like "Solo Leveling The Game" not a "Alternative World in the Multiverse", at least to me.
Well I am about to update the vote tally. Has my response to you changed your mind at all in regards to why it would be canon (due to the original series being something that exists inside the game)
This isn’t really minor supervision. It’s everyone that was ever involved in the story is helping out with the game.meaning that everyone that was involved in creating the manhwa,anime,lightnovel etc are helping to create the game. The rightholders of solo leveling have it listed as “part of the solo leveling universe”,the game needs explicit permission from the author to have things added.

I could be wrong but I took author approval in those rules to mean stuff like “sure you can make a show/game/manhwa etc” instead of the author themselves actually directly being involved and making sure that everything written is correct.imo the fact that they are being so careful to not harm the original series, shows that they don’t want contradictions between them

it isn’t just similar,it’s literally the original series in game format with the addition of new stories and backstories created with the help of the author,right holders,and everyone ever involved in solo leveling.

It’s more accurately, “we created a game with the help of everyone involved in Solo Leveling that expands on elements the original series couldn’t fully explore, such as the backstories of side characters, deeper explanations of abilities, and different character perspectives on events from the original story. It is also explicitly stated to be part of the Solo Levelinguniverse/multiverse.”


“It has been created under the supervision of the original author to provide diverse stories and fun WITHIN the Solo Leveling universe”

This thread is to establish that when it refers to being part of the solo leveling universe, it is referring to timelines that exist. As shown with the manhwa , lightnovel And game all being different timelines within the universe



I think there is a misunderstanding on how the game works. It’s literally a recreation of the original series in game format. So whatever is in the original series is also in the game. Just in 3D. Such as the Beru fight. This means the game is canon to the events of the original series,but it also adds context and explanations the original series doesn’t have.

If this thread gets rejected, then I would have to make a game profile. The thing is… since the game is literally the original series + more, then I’d assume I could use scans from either. It will be a weird case where I’d just copy and paste everything from the profiles into a new one…just to add more justification and context. It’s basically a complete profile and an incomplete one. When it would just be easier to have one complete profile.(which I am trying right now) accepted or rejected nothing changes besides the amount of work needed

Which just means they don't want something that feels off compared to the original, it shows they care, not that it's canon.

It's obviously within the Solo Leveling universe because it's a game based on the Solo Leveling universe. It's not going to take place in another verse. Those mentioned timelines are not in the context of the creators stated it's one of them, the verse just has those, and obviously a game based on the original series would have elements from its source

Yeah, that's what a game adaptation does, there just making the original story in game format and worked with the creators to make it fateful to the original but added more. However this doesn't say it's canon, just that the original story played out in the game version more or less the same. New stuff alone would make it it's own thing since it's adding stuff not shown or hinted at in the original.

It's not an incomplete one and a complete one, that would require the original missing information but since the game isn't accepted as canon yet, it's not missing anything from it.
2 pages and no mod yet? Are they fasting Ramadan or what?
It's called life, in my instance anyway. I've got almost no time and dealing with health issues. My apologies if things aren't moving fast enough for you but I can't make others comment. I can ping them and ask

@DarkDragonMedeus @Reiner04 Could either of you check this out and give your thoughts wether you agree or disagree about the game being canon.

Timelines was just in reference to how the light novel as a whole is its own timeline , the manhwa as a whole is a different timeline, and I was using the scan of the game referencing being an alternate timeline to give context that it’s just another timeline part of the solo leveling universe just like the Lightnovel and manhwa.

Everything mentioned is something that is hinted at in the original series. Just not explained. For example. From the original,We know that the national level hunters fought kamish, but besides that, we know nothing. The game then shows the backstory on how the fight went as well as the back stories of said characters.

I was referring to how the game would be canon to the original series regardless of if the original series is canon to the game. Therefore if I make a game profile, it would be everything in the original series as well as the things the game introduces. And overall be a more complete profile due to the game explaining things that the original series only hinted at or gave a brief mention of.

If the game has everything the original series has, then how would it be less canon? If the whole team being involved in it’s creation and how it works, isn’t enough, then is the only possible way for it to be canon the author directly saying it’s canon?
 
I'm not sure how the game developers working with Chugong to both ensure the original narrative was implemented, and to ensure nothing they add violates the IP(that is, it's all accurate to Chugong's views) isn't enough
