I was wondering if Chuck himself(or what is your opinion)ever mentioned if Tyler is a schizophrenic hallucination in the original short story or was that an afterthought only (fully)
implemented in the novel?

There are some clues that might point to Tyler being a hallucination but I'm not sure if they are there or I just see them because I 'want' to see them.

Chuck himself didn't realize that Tyler would be a dissuasion until he was over halfway done with the book.

Do you perhaps have a source for this and does anyone know if the short story was edited before being implemented into the novel? I assume the sentence about Marla stealing his support groups wasn't in the original short story.
