"Battler-kun is not the culprit. Battler-kun didn’t kill anyone. This can be said of all games." That's it, Battler/Character is always the good guy in the novels Battler/Writer wrote.
For your theory to function, two things would have to be proven that I just don't see that way:

a) The whole meta-world would have to be within the narrative that is published as books in the 1998 world, which it is not in my theory, because especially the scenes involving Ange and everything concerning the effects on 1998 wouldn't make much sense...especially considering that Hachijô Tôya/Ex-Battler had no contact with Ange post-tragedy up to the point where he met her in the ???? during Episode 8.

b) The whole red truth would be fictional and therefore useless, rendering a whole part of the narrative virtually useless both for us and the characters. I just refuse to assume that Ryukishi would be that lame...
