This is all very good, but I think there is a critical reason why strong Undertale theories are hard to make:

1) Most loose ends are wrapped up in one route or another.

2) The primary exception, Dr. Gaster, is too shadowy to make any conclusions about without making several guesses to add to the canon.

The secondary exception, the narrator, is neither of these, and so we have the very strong Narrator Chara theory.

Given this, there are three ways to proceed:

- Go around (1) by finding loose ends to tie up. This tends to create minor theories which don't prove much.

- Go around (2) by making educated guesses about the good mysteryman. This tends to create unbased theories.

- Do neither and make Deltarune theories instead. This tends to hit similar roadblocks.

It is possible for any of these to produce a good theory, however, with the right research and luck/persistence.
