These plot points were translated by Kewl, who is doing the translations for Over Heaven and The Book, from a japanese review of the novel. Nothing I came across until now says otherwise. For me, it seems safe to trust it.

Except about Kars and the Stands, but I do know that Kars becomes VERY overpowerered at the end of the novel (while guys like Koichi, Josuke and Okuyasu receive stands way worse than their originals). There's also three new powers which seem to be something completelly apart of Stands (called WOUND, BOUND and I forgot the third).

Still, that's something I was planning to go in deeper knowledge and add to the wikia after finishing Part 6 (don't want much spoilers about the universe reset). That novel is something way crazier than anything I have ever seen JJBA.
