Well, if we're going to go that route, then Ryukishi lacks originality for doing the "people dying in a timeloop" thing again. It was obvious that Beatrice was a scapegoat from the get-go, because the only options that actually exist is "Beatrice is a scapegoat" or "A witch actually did it."
You have no one but yourself to blame for being disappointed. Besides, he's not rehashing a plot, he's continuing a meta-arc through a different means. This is exactly why Umineko is a sequel in the first place. When They Cry, as a franchise, is about the fallacies of sacrifice and martyrdom, and personal responsibility for someone's actions. It's also about understanding, trust, and giving the benefit of the doubt. It's about seeing people for what they are without hurtful, judgemental bias.
