anecdotic
Full of stories
Anecdotic is a less common variant of anecdotal, describing something based on or consisting of anecdotes rather than systematic evidence or rigorous analysis.
Like its more frequent sibling, it characterizes accounts that are personal, informal, and possibly unreliable as proof of broader claims.
The evidence for the treatment's effectiveness remains purely anecdotic.
