![]() Some of you might tilt their head now, thinking it shouldn’t be possible that a story can mistrust its reader. It is an odd relationship that relies on Mutual Distrust. ![]() Now, a topic that comes up is the Mystery Genre and the relationship between reader and story. ![]() This is in actuality already Spoiler Area, so I have to leave it as that. However, Umineko teaches over time, that this is not the only question that matters. Primarily, Umineko is a Mystery Story, that means that in the beginning a primary question is asked that peaks the readers interest (What happened on Rokkenjima?) that gets resolved at the end. This is only very roughly, because there is much more in Umineko and the whole story also goes way deeper than just what is shown. The world of Umineko is built around three things: The Rokkenjima Incident, The character Beatrice and (especially in Umineko Chiru, the “Answer Arc” of Umineko) Ange Ushiromiya. Umineko is indeed complex and complicated. Now, Umineko is complex, if you’ve read the first paragraph you probably would have suspected that. This is not the only problem, the bigger issue is that I myself, the one who writes the review does not fully understand Umineko. This was due to me not knowing how to spoil as few as possible, as pretty much all praise I give towards Umineko with the exception of the Soundtrack leads into a spoiler. I’ve been writing on an Umineko Review for way too long now and I pretty much gave up at this point.
