How claims are graded and cited

Reverend Insanity is long, its translation is uneven, and much of what circulates about it online is guesswork repeated until it sounds settled. This page sets out how Saga of Gu tells those apart.

How confident is each claim

Every claim on this site sits at one of five levels. The level is not decoration. It decides how the claim is written and how it looks on the page.

Level What it means How you will see it
Canon The novel states it directly. Written as plain fact, followed by a chapter chip: ch. 4
Inferred Reasoned from cited text, but never stated outright. The sentence says so, and the chapters behind the reasoning are cited.
Disputed The available sources give incompatible answers. A bronze notice listing each position beside the source that supports it.
Deviation A convention this site invented, usually so the map can show something. Labelled as a recorded deviation at the point where it is used.
Unverified It came out of a data pipeline that no person has checked yet. Never written into an article. It appears only as a marked chip: I Light path

A disputed question renders like this. This one is real and stands on the era pages:

Citations

A page is either a stub or a published article. A stub is a placeholder built from source data; it says so at the top and it makes no claims. A published article must carry at least one chapter citation, and the build fails if it does not. Chapter numbers run from 1 to 2,334, and anything outside that range is treated as a typo rather than a source.

Citation chips open the chapter's own summary page.

Corrections are raised in the Saga of Gu Discord, with a chapter citation where there is one.

The veil

A chapter tag on this site is the earliest chapter at which a reader going in order could know the fact. Not where it is confirmed, not where it becomes obvious, but where it is first revealed.

Leads and card summaries hold nothing past chapter one. Anything later carries its own chapter tag, and each tag is either minor or major.

A major-tagged value is blurred where it sits, in the summary tablet and in the chip row, and hover does not lift it. Set your chapter in the topbar and everything up to it unveils. A section covering later chapters closes rather than blurs, behind one line naming the chapter it starts from and a button that opens it. A sentence covering later chapters seals in place, under a bronze mask naming the chapter that opens it, and opens with your position.
