I see the red as capable of threading through all stories except for the ep specific ones. This is why, at the author level, I called it the Core Truth rather than red text. This Core Truth must be true for all games.
Does the red really have to be true across the board for author theory to work? Or is that just your personal preference?

As long as none of the chiru arcs are Rokkenjima prime it should be fine.

I fail to see why spinoff stories wouldn't work with it. If there is only one real Rokkenjima in author theory than the rest should be spinoffs anyway. And that's basically what Umineko is a bunch of spinoff stories.
