What is the English equivalent of ストーリー総監修?


I'm confused as to the meaning of this cinematic term found in the credit of a
movie. ストーリー総監修? Story Total Supervising Editor?? I'm not sure what this
means. Is there any English equivalent to this or should I just come to my own
conclusions?

For context, this credit was given to the author of the original work which
the film serves as a sequel to. The credit of 脚本/script was given to another
person. I'd just like to understand the English Equivalent of ストーリー総監修 so I
can better grasp the role the author played.




I don't know much about movies but here is my guess.

“総” means “whole”. eg. “総収入” is “total income”.

Googling “総監修” gave some examples and it seems to be used as “everything is
supervised by _somebody_ ”. Thus “ストーリー総監修” seems to mean “the whole story was
supervised by _somebody_ ”.
