It's not like a like it. It's horrible. But this isn't a matter of liking it or not. Maybe the only truth of Rokkenjima is just that a bunch of idiots killed each other over a bunch of gold.
If that's the truth then I guess that's why it was defined as worthless and I guess that's also why it doesn't really matter who did what.
But I'm really not expecting a great truth so this theory seems quite plausible to me. If there really was a very interesting truth behind this whole incident, if there was a mastermind and an intricate plot then it would have been a worthwhile truth to be told.
The fact that it isn't told and the fact it was defined as worthless and not important, in my opinion, already proves that I shouldn't really expect something narratively satisfying.
Btw...
Am I really the only one here who thinks that Battler escaped alone, and that the Beatrice we see is nothing but Battler's delusion?
