DMCA / Copyright Notice

Last updated: September 9, 2025

This website (hereinafter, the “Site”) publishes originally crafted summaries, analyses, and reading guides. We do not host full books, extended excerpts intended as substitutes, or provide download links to copyrighted works. We fully respect the intellectual property of third parties and expect Users to do the same.

1) Ownership of Content and Scope of Protection

All original text, editorial structure, section organization, internal headings, interlinking, graphics created for the Site, and other exclusive materials are protected under intellectual property laws and applicable regulations concerning related rights and databases.
Any reproduction, distribution, public communication, transformation, systematic extraction (scraping), bulk copying, or creation of derivative works that replicate the Site’s structure, narrative order, heading patterns, sequence of subheadings, or organizational method—without express written authorization—is strictly prohibited.
Registered trademarks, saga titles, and literary work names mentioned herein belong to their respective holders and are used solely for nominative, critical, and/or review purposes.

2) Specific Prohibitions

Without prior written authorization from the Site owner, it is strictly forbidden to:

Copy, republish, or redistribute the Site’s content, in whole or in part, by any means.
Replicate the editorial architecture (order, format, heading nomenclature, and interlinking scheme) in a substantial or confusingly similar way.
Use bots, scrapers, or automated techniques to download, index, or reconstruct the Site’s content.
Incorporate our texts, structure, or datasets to train AI models, recommendation engines, or other algorithmic systems, whether for commercial purposes or not.

3) Permitted Use and Short Quotations

Short quotations may be made for purposes of commentary, criticism, academic analysis, or information, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

The quotation is proportional and non-substitutive of the original content.
The source (the Site) is clearly identified, with a visible link to the cited page.
The meaning of the text is not altered, nor is it presented in a way that misleads as to its authorship or origin.

For broader uses (translations, anthologies, extensive reproductions, promotional materials, etc.), prior written authorization is required.

4) Fragmented Narrative Summary System™ — Protection Clause

The Fragmented Narrative Summary System™ is a proprietary and distinctive method of creating summaries and organizing narrative, which includes (without limitation) layered analytical segmentation, the staggered arrangement of headings and subheadings, thematic bridges between sections, internal interlinking designed for reading continuity, and an editorial syntax intended to maximize clarity without replacing the original work.

This system is the intellectual property of the Site owner.
Its substantial imitation, reproduction, adaptation, or exploitation—including the copying of its structure, operational logic, and expressive output—is strictly prohibited without authorization.
Violations may give rise to legal actions for copyright infringement, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment.

Author of the Fragmented Narrative Summary System™
