Open guideHow Story Order works
One story. Every way to explore it.
The guide stays complete without repeating the same story in every format.
One story, one place
Books, adaptations, audio and games stay grouped beneath the story they share.
Choose how it unfolds
Chronology maps the events. Release order preserves the original reveals.

The hard cases
Timelines are messy. The guide should not be.
Prequels arrive late. Stories overlap. Canon splits. We show those limits instead of inventing certainty.Read the methodologyOfficial timelines and story evidence set the order.
Separate continuities stay separate.
Approximate placements are marked clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you begin.
Should I use chronology for my first time?
Not always. Chronology is useful for seeing events unfold, while release order often preserves the reveals intended by the creators. Each guide lets you switch between both.
What is Starter Mode?
Starter Mode trims a large universe to its central path. You can turn it off at any time to restore every mapped story.
Why are adaptations grouped together?
A novel, film, audiobook or game adaptation can be different ways to experience the same underlying story. We keep those versions together instead of repeating the story across the timeline.
How do you handle conflicting timelines?
Separate continuities remain separate. When evidence is incomplete or contradictory, the placement is labelled as approximate instead of being presented as settled fact.
Are upcoming stories included?
Upcoming works are kept outside the published chronology until they release and their placement can be checked.
Does every guide cover every format?
Coverage varies by universe. Each guide states what is mapped now and what still needs a deeper research pass.
Can I request a universe or correction?
Yes. Send the title, missing story or disputed placement through the request page. No email address is required.
Where does the ordering information come from?
We prioritise official franchise sources, the stories themselves and verified release records. Editorial judgement is used only where the evidence does not provide an exact answer.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Stories you mark as explored are saved in that browser only. Story Order does not require an account to remember your checklist.
