Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I wasn't really sure where else to go. Basically, I want to get into the series. The Story of Evil series of songs has been a favorite of mine since before the novels and whatnot, and I'd love to get into the stories behind them. I've read Closure of Yellow and I intend to get around to reading Wiegenlied of Green at some point, I've also read a bit on the wiki. It seems that in order to fully understand any one part of the story, I have to go listen to a whole other series of songs which in turn is part of another and of course all the novels, and sometimes it seems like I'm going in circles without really entirely learning anything. It's so complicated. Like, what the heck is up with Elluka? Where does this all start? Where does it end?! And of course there's all the non-canon manga and whatnot... I really love the series, but it's just so expansive, I end up feeling like a complete idiot whenever I try to understand something. Is there any ideal place to "start" and go from there, where I can begin learning the events of the story without needing prior knowledge of fifteen other events?
