It's hard to explain, I suppose. I guess I'm saying that kakera and author theory can be perfectly congruent if you want them to be, and that they don't damage or undermine each other in any significant way. The alternate worlds we get a look into in the forgeries may be real. Let's assume they are, and that they have their own pasts and futures outside of those forgeries. It's irrelevant because we get a look at them to understand a single universe by contrast and comparison, and try to understand the truth of one world by way of warped mirrors.
And of course, there's Pantheistic Solipsism, the thought exercise that posits that a world exists by the mere act of writing about it, which Umineko atleast teases with.
