I've seen a lot of people talk about whether real life is canon or not and i think yall are missing the potential real life being canon - but happening before 3rd life.
Just think about it. Grian brings all his friends into this immersive game that's quick and fun and then they get sucked into the game, forever trapped in a cycle of more brutal and longer death games.
Like it'd work so well without having to go to great lengths to make it canon and it would add a whole new layer off angst to explore.
