I'm new to the _Monogatari_ series; got into it because Nisio Isin wrote
_Medaka Box_ and also GIFs I found online.

I just don't understand whether we are intended to take the supernatural parts
of the show to understand the characters or whether they are important on
their own yet. For example, in the LNs, does the monologue hint at what is
reality and what is made up?

How much of the content in the show can be chalked up to hallucination, etc.?
Is the crab god really there? Or is it a metaphor for her not carrying her
trauma, thus she is weightless? Or both?

Are the Crab God and other supernatural creatures metaphors?
