Specifically, I'm talking about The Death Save The Strawberry, 13 BLADEs and WE WILL knot ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

These books have a TON of supplementary info that we don't and didn't get in the manga. Is there any reason that the wiki just ignores the content of these books? You can't seriously argue that they're not canon because they are. Kubo sanctioned and co-wrote (I believe so?) the first and third, at the very least.

What makes the manga so much more "hard canon" than the light novels?

Is the fact that the text within the novels was written by another person other than Kubo? HE DID THE ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THEM AND GAVE EXPLICIT APPROVAL FOR THEM. HIS NAME IS ON THE COVERS.

Is it because of a lack of official English translation? But we used fan translations for the manga when it was coming out. Why should the books be treated any differently as long as the point is getting across? Especially when multiple people are doing translations and it's all saying the same thing, so that way we know it's not BS.

Kubo officially approved all of the content of the stories (again, of the first and third for sure) so why isn't the creators say-so enough? Since when has the creators word not been absolute LAW regarding the status of whether content is canon or not?

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IRRITATING TO SEE BLANK SPACES ON THIS WIKI WHERE CANON INFORMATION SHOULD BE.

(ps, i swear my caps isn't aggressive yelling, i'm just REALLY passionate about filling in the gaps)
