求教阅读Vinavery

Initially the Vinaver theory that Malory‘s eight romances,
 once thought to be fundamentally unified. were in
 fact eight independent works produced both a
 Line sense of relief and an unpleasant shock. Vinaver‘s
5 theory comfortably explained away the apparent
 contradictions of chronology and made each romance
 independently satisfying. It was, however, disagreeable
 to find that what had been thought of as one book was
 now eight books. Part of this response was the natural
10 reaction to the disturbance of set ideas. Nevertheless,
 even now, after lengthy consideration of the theory‘s
 refined but legitimate observations, one cannot avoid
 the conclusion that the eight romances are only one
 work. It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the
15 theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications:
 that the romances may be taken in any or no particular
 order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they
 are as separate as the works of a modern novelist.

觉得这篇文章很绕，也参考了网上很多解释。对第5题还是不确定。
说一下我现在的思路~

V提出M的8R是各自独立的，在以前人们认为8R是一个整体
V的理论产生了relief和shock，然后各自解释原因。其中relief是因为v解决了contradiction而且make romance independently satisfying。Shock是因为挑战了固有观点。
接着作者谈到8R还是一个整体。

问题出来了：我不理解最后一句话It is not quite a matter of disagreeing with the
theory of independence, but of rejecting its implications:
 that the romances may be taken in any or no particular
 order, that they have no cumulative effect, and that they
 are as separate as the works of a modern novelist.

我本来想的是 作者认为 disagree with theory of independence 没有关系，
但是it is a matter of rejecting its implication 意即作者是认同implication：romances之间没有顺序，没有累积的影响，是各自分离的。

这样的话5题的A就没有办法说通

但看到网上的说法跟我正好是相反的，请教各位给我说说，感激不尽，纠结一晚上了都。

还有BC也不确定

这个作者总的来说应该还还是支持8R是一个整体，而B对此论点有害，所以排除？

C是因为作者觉得8R还是一个整体，与v的理论相反，而v的理论解决了年代的矛盾，所以推断认为年代没有整体性重要？
