I noticed that Chaos;Head’s divergence ratio is different than the one of
Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes. What was the point of that series to begin
with since nothing basically happened?

What is the point of Chaos;Head if it’s not in the same worldline as the other Science Adventure entries?


**Because the point of _Science Adventure_ series is not really about
divergence ratio or the same worldline, but just _due to the official
genre/theme._**

Back in 2008, when _Chaos;Head_ was first released, the genre was officially
given as "Delusional _Science Adventure_ " (妄想 **科学ADV** ). At that time,
there was no plan of making this into a series.

It was not until 2009 when _Steins;Gate_ was released with the genre as
"Supposition _Science Adventure_ " (想定 **科学ADV** ), making it a series and
also the 2nd entry.

This is then followed by:

  * _Robotics;Note_ : Expansive _Science Adventure_ (拡張 **科学ADV** )
  * _Chaos;Child_ : Delusional _Science Adventure_ (the same as _Chaos;Head_ )
  * _Occultic;Nine_ : Paranormal _Science Adventure_ (超常 **科学ADV** )
  * _Anonymous;Code_ : Supposition _Science Adventure_ (the same as _Steins;Gate_ )

The series emphasizes real scientific elements heavily while still allowing
them to mix with fictional elements. This includes, but not strictly limited
to, time travel and divergence ratio.
