Okay...but "it's a coincidence" is essentially my point. The trivia needs to be about the CORE, how it works, the inspiration behind it, and so on. The trivia point as it stands is more about the book than the CORE. The template of "X is similar to Y" is not sufficient grounds for adding trivia, but instead needs to be justified by saying that Y may have been a source of inspiration for X. And if there's no way that Toby could have known about the novel, then there's essentially no chance that Toby drew inspiration from it. If we added trivia points simply on the basis of similarities, we would need to include every instance of talking flowers in books, movies, and TV on Flowey's page, and every instance of underground water networks for the Waterfall page, etc., etc.

I'm trying to say that the trivia point doesn't really belong on the page. Hence why I had removed it in the first place. I wasn't trying to say that the book did not exist or that your recollection of it is incorrect, but that there was not sufficient evidence to justify having it on the page.
