I really sped through this one, once I started it was hard to stop. So so much to think about with this one. I’m really starting to get into what Umineko is doing, what this story is. I’m so invested in these characters now, I want to see them happy. I want Lion to fight fate, I want this tale to have a happy ending. I find it interesting, and I’m assuming this is intentional, how my priorities in what I want from this story have completely changed. When I started reading Umineko, I wanted to know the culprit, I wanted to know how they did it. To be honest why didn’t really matter to me. These characters were fated to die, cause it was a murder mystery, so that’s to be expected. I wasn’t a kind reader. Now I want them to fight fate, I want them to break free of the chains of the genre. Umineko has completely made me rethink how I interact with fiction and I love it so much for that. I’ll probably write more once I think it over, cause my head is spinning from all my thoughts after reading.
Can’t wait to read Episode 8.
