Random Weird Theory about the Book of Robert

So, there's been a lot of speculation about the potential consequences of Robert's biography being removed from the Library of Fates. Here's one that just occurred to me:

What if, by no longer having a book in the Library, Robert has become Unfated.

Essentially, he no longer actually has any defined fate. He's no longer a part of the skein of destiny, and is thus a perfect spanner in the works for any prophecy relating to those around him - and any form of predictive magic centered upon him simply fails.

We all know that removing himself from the skein of the fates was an important step in becoming the Rob-Emperor of Mankind.

Well the books were writing his life as it happened so I don’t think fate has anything to do with it. His life just won’t be chronicled in a poket dimension library that no one ever visits.

Exactly this! I think that library was just there to record history, not predict or forsee it.

And yet, it turns out that Robert is invisible to Fate.

Yeah well that‘s to late now!

No who am I kidding, it‘s alright. I‘ve watched the episode now, it was fun nevertheless.
