Do you think you could do an in-verse timeline of ASOUE?

I think this is a job for you counto. It is not very pleasant that the author himself makes a time-line. Especially in a Fanfic of this type. He is already being quite revealing with the dates ... If he himself makes a time-line, the pleasure of making theories involving time-line goes down the drain. I'm sure Isadora Is a Door made a personal time-line for this story, but this is one of the most accurate assets he has, especially since it was a lot of work to do that. To share this time-line at this point would be to throw all that effort into the trash, as time is a character in this story. It would be a spoiler.

Do you think you could do an in-verse timeline of ASOUE? It might be interesting enough for you to know that I don't think I could assemble a timeline with any more depth than this one. It took me long enough to work out how could hammer out something thats consistent enough to fit the story. I'm personally not a fan of trying to fit a real world date and setting onto a series that seems to be implicitly set in no fixed time or place, but due to the complex time-hopping nature of the story I felt it necessary to affix dates to events, and then had a bit of fun playing around working those into reality. I think this might be the only AOSUE Fanfic to span a time period of more than 50 years. Discuss.

The Mallahan Brochure, a Fanfic of mine still in progress, covers the whole history of VFD, starting at the time of Alexander the Great, until after the third world war, which at least covers about 2400 years.

Lemony and Ellington aren't trying to steal the beast statue from the cult in 2001, so I'm not sure where you got that implication from. I'd love someone to try and work out the timeline of the various objects such as the maps, the watch, the notebook, the beast statue. Im basically setting you a challenge here

Challenge accepted, I'm just a bit confused though about what their trying to do with the statue. I know it probably has something to do with destroying the beast.

In case people haven't noticed I've been updating this timeline when each chapter goes up.

Wait a minute, 1801? And Abel is in it?
Now I'm really confused. I mean, the main events of the story take place in the 2010-20's from what I can tell. And there's a character named Mr Denouement, is this a descendant or father of Frank, Ernest and Dewey? Plus how old is Abel? Cause if that's the case he would over 300 years old, unless he's immortal or something
