Minor griping

soc_puppetFinished reading the first volume of Scum Villain! It's, hmm.
Okay, either the author really loaded up a bunch of info in the short story volume and/or like. Interviews and stuff, or fandom is doing a lot of heavy lifting with the disciple years, because it is sparse on stuff happening. Or, well, it has like. Four plot points/events, and then it jumps to the Immortal Alliance Conference?
I'm gonna be honest, I'll be fine with either outcome, I'm just stuck on whether to skip to the short story volume to find out how much is built in there. (I happened to find a hard copy at Half Price Books last weekend, so I'd even have something of an excuse...) I might be SOL for finding any Word Of God deuterocanon, since damned if I go tag surfing on Tumblr, and that's probably where most of it's going to be, but I can at least get the answers to some of my questions if I skip ahead! And it's not like I'm not wildly spoiled already...
Anyway, the point isn't me dithering over whether to skip ahead or not, it's me griping over not knowing whether stuff is fanon or canon right now, and the first volume of the series plus the existence of the short story volume not being as helpful as it could have been in clearing that up.
