We weren't discussing overall quality at the moment, we were discussing how much sense it makes to have unreliable narrators in Umineko, right?
I'm not passing the lack of good explanations off on Beatrice - she wasn't even narrating in the Chiru episodes, so that's a different issue altogether. But I think you'll agree that the use of unreliable narrator isn't inconsistent with Umineko's universe, as you claimed before.
