    Thanks, and you're right! I missed that one! No problem! Lemme know if you notice any others. I looked through it again. I didn't see anything wrong with the chronological order, but I'm not sure why The Dweller Report is still ahead of Time Trap in the spoiler-free one? Not to harp on about the same thing. I moved it up on the spoiler-free one too...I thought? EDIT: Whoops! I moved No One Gets Left Behind by accident! EDIT 2: Fix'd now.

    Chapter 6 is out!

    The reason I stuck them afterwards is because Shadows in the Sky introduces these characters. If a reader were to start reading the Mutran Chronicles, they'd be shocked to discover that there's more than one Makuta, and have half a dozen names thrown at them, without really any introduction to them. It makes sense in the Chronological Order, though not as much to a new reader. Thanks for the idea though!

    I don't remember that, but I consider it canon. It lines up with most of the storyline aspects of 2006

    Even though there were a couple Serial chapters that ended in 2011, they actually really fit in with the 2010 story, and I don't want to confuse the new readers into thinking, "wait, I thought it ended in 2010?" How exactly would I fit Greg's quotes in as story material?

    You should check out this topic!

    Any other suggestions? Incidentally...would it be possible to pin this topic since it's such a relevant subject?

    While I can see why this would make sense, I feel like the comics would end up spoiling most of the story. A lot of the climax points in the story are a lot better written and more in depth in the books, and I feel like if I were a new reader, I'd wanna see the best stuff first. Having the comics as a review afterwards seems like a good idea to me so they can get a refresher if they've been doing it over a long period of time (Obviously not every new fan will blast through the series in a couple weeks, it may be done over the entire course of 2015). Regardless of my opinion on the matter, I will still consider sticking a note in there saying you can choose to either do comics first or after.

    I feel like having the comics in there at the same exact time would be confusing and overwhelming to new fans. I'll consider adding them to the Chronological List though. I've already added a comics list to the Spoiler-Free List, with the idea that the reader should read them in review of the rest of the story, I think this makes a lot of sense.

    Journey's End is here. It doesn't look like it. As I said before, the Mata Nui Saga Slides, like the Journey's End Summary, are essentially the events that occur in Journey's End, so I didn't bother adding them (It'd be very repetitive). The same goes for the comics, though I do acknowledge that there are comic-exclusive stories. My suggestion is that the readers follow this list, then after they've finished it, go back and read all the comics as a review. For the most part, this would work (perhaps, with the exception of the Tales of Bara Magna papercutz exclusives, I haven't quite decided yet where I'll put those in the Spoiler-Free List). I respect your decision not to include the comics and the Mata Nui Saga. I've added in a section about the comics now. But yes, the Mata Nui Saga is unnecessary, as it is just another summarization of Journey's End.

    Good question. I'd put it after just to group it with your History of Mata Nui section and it'll be more understandable after the context of the Core War. But since the giant was being made during the Core War, no real way to tell. Also, there's a flashback to another scene during the giant's construction in Journey's End, which I still haven't been able to get, but BS01 says so here: http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE:_Journey%27s_End And there's Mata Nui Saga slides to incorporate, not sure how you'd go about that, but yeah. Aaaand... Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but did you include the comics?

    I forgot about those two flashbacks, I'll make sure to add them. My goal for the Spoiler-Free List was to create something that wouldn't intimidate new fans (as many of the lists I've seen have), I wanted to make something very simple. The Chronological List is far more complicated, and probably only understandable to someone who's read mostly everything at least once before. I'd appreciate any help you can offer with the Chronological List! EDIT: I know where the Barraki one would fall, but would the Great Beings Flashback fit in before or after Decadence?
  16. joev14
    I wholeheartedly agree! I've actually helped 2 or 3 new fans with a reading order, so I figured I'd go ahead and make a topic for it. I've also always been fascinated with the idea of creating a chronological order (Though never got around to it until now because it's so tedious!)

    Welcome, Bionicle fans, both new and old, to the Ultimate Bionicle Storyline Reading Order for Years 2001-2010. Now first, to clarify something; this is literally every piece of relevant Bionicle Lore you will ever find. Anything that shows up here is relevant, so if you’re just looking to get the core story, and are too lazy to actually read everything, this is not the place for you. The goal of this list is to literally create the most immersive and knowledge-filled experience possible, and if you follow it, you will officially be a Bionicle Storyline Expert. Right off the bat, there are two different lists here. The first, which I call the “Spoiler-Free Order” is a list that takes certain events out of chronological order to avoid spoilers. This list is ideal for new fans who haven’t read hardly any of the storyline. Those of you who know the story well may be looking at it and saying, “Wait a second, doesn’t that come way earlier in the story?” You’re probably right. For example, the short story Decadence, takes place at the very beginning of the story, however, it features major spoilers for people who haven’t yet read anything else. For this reason, I have intentionally taken certain items on the list and moved them to later parts in order to avoid spoiling plot details. There is minimal splitting in this version. The second list, which I will call the “Chronological Order,” places everything closest to the order in which they take place. In many cases, items on the list are chopped up because certain items are literally taking place at the same time, like MNOG and Tale of the Toa. This list is perfect for returning fans who already know the spoilers, but are looking to get a review of the series and want to see events in which they occur. Here is a key to help you determine what certain items are on the lists. C = Chronicles (Series 1) A = Adventures (Series 2) L = Legends (Series 3) B = Bara Magna Saga (Series 4) Games and Animations are Underlined Shorts, Serials, and Podcast Serials are Italicized Split Items are in Bold May I state, and this is very important. I did not mark these items because they are unimportant. Any experienced Bionicle fan will tell you that the Games, Animations, and Serials are absolutely crucial to understanding the Bionicle storyline entirely. If you leave these items out, you will be left very confused at many points. If you’re looking for a resource for all these items, you can find these books on amazon; each book is typically $4. For games, animations, shorts, and serials, I recommend using Biomediaproject (All these items are free on this website). Also, I am currently directing a project, known as the Bionicle: Audio-Narration-Project, that aims to create audiobooks of all the books and eventually the shorts and serials. You can find it here! Please read everything above this point before clicking on these! I promise, it's important! Now that I’ve got that out of the way, you may move on to the lists. If you are new to the Bionicle Storyline, choose the Spoiler-Free Order. If you are a returning fan who has read at least 95% of the items on this list, you can choose the Chronological Order. Spoiler-Free Order (New Fans!) Chronological Order (Fans who've already read the Series!)

    This is where I will be posting the chapters, and where you can give your criticism regarding them! If you're interested in auditioning, check out this topic! A quick summary to explain what this is. I've always loved reading Bionicle books; in fact, I have a feeling most of you do. I've always wondered though; what would it be like if it were in the form of an audio-book, with somebody reading it out loud? Furthermore, what if all the characters were voiced by different people. What if, on top of all that, there was music added from various Bionicle media to help immerse you in the world of Bionicle? That, is what ANP aims to do. ANP, Audio-Narration-Project, began with the first book of Bionicle: Chronicles: Tale of the Toa. I hope that if all goes well for Chronicles, that we'll be able to go on to do Adventures, Legends, and the 2009/2010 arc.
