I'm not looking for a debate. I just want to share my thoughts and find some closure. During the time I was reading Umineko, I was having the best time of my life. I was giving passionate performances for all the characters, emotionally investing myself in their stories, and engaging with the mystery to an extent. And when it was over, I was left with a beautiful ending that didn’t bring a logical resolution, but definitely an emotional one. I bawled my eyes out during the end credits. I felt like I exp...

TLDR; I acknowledge Shkanontrice is the canon solution. However, there are numerous logic errors with the red truth that frankly frustrate the hell out of me. I feel these all deserve acknowledgement because the red truth's objectivity is fundamentally called into question. This allows for me to make theories similar to Shkanontrice for different people that kinda-sorta line up with a subjective view of red truth at the end of the day. But it's better doing that in my opinion than going with the red truth ...

Reading another thread reminded me of a confusion I had once I read the official answer to the story: Now as much as I love the story, the whole Yasu/Sayo is both Shannon and Kanon thing.... is weird at best and pretty stupid at worse.

That aside my main problem with it is: Was there actually any real hints of this through EP1-4? That Shannon and Kanon was the same person I mean? The most I've se...

After a long, long time I finally finished the 8 books. Does anyone else feel like the answer arcs were much worse than the question arcs? Reading when they cry 4 made me quite mad, so I'm writing this rant here to get it out of my system. Long text ahead! Book 5 was the first episode that left me with a sour taste in my mouth. The middle of the book was fine, but the extremes were pretty bad. It was annoying how the beginning invalidated Battler's development and Ange's sacrifice at the end of book 4. Ba...

I finished the game and decided to check some theory videos on YouTube and I notice they use the Manga to solve the crimes in the first 4 chapters of the VN. I am not sure why they are using the Manga here, I never read this Manga (literally finished the VN last night) I am sure it's good but these answers contradict everything the VN teaches us. By Chapter 5 we are introduced to the Knox Ten commandments. These commandments are used against Battler, they are a legit weapon/defense in this story, Dlanor w...
