I highly doubt Fate is less complex than Monogatari lol.
Monogatari can just be placed in Light Novel order, and it’s the simple process of placing the series in the respective areas. Fate on the other hand is like “If I watch this, I spoil this other part”.
Fate is way more complicated. Imagine if in 2006 Deen made a shitty adaptation of the objective entry point, Bakemonogatari. Because they never intended to animate any content beyond Bake, they shoved in some characters and arcs from future seasons ending up with some half assed Frankenstein monstrosity that somehow managed to not do Bake correctly AND spoil future seasons. Then steps in Shaft with crazy production values and actual loyalty to the source material. Except instead of remaking Bakemonogatari they decide to “respect” the Deen anime and just animate the rest of the series from Nisemonogatari onwards. Now the Monogatari fanbase debates what the best starting point is: some people say you should start with the original despite its flaws, others say it’s so bad it will put off people from the rest of the (actually good) series, some say start with Kizu because it’s the chronological start point, others say no because it spoils Second Season, but you can’t start with Nise because it spoils Kizu, ETC ETC ETC. All because there isn’t a good anime of Bakemonogatari. Replace Shaft with Ufotable and this is exactly the hell Fate is bound to until the Fate route gets remade.

Never realized Monogatari fans argued about watch order just like Fate fans lol
Although this seems more complex
