And what kind of narrative attention would you expect here, when we are supposed to follow a character investigation? It isn't like the narration can bend here and there, otherwise, we would have something akin to Episode 4, if not worse.
The write really doesn't have the responsibility to offer all possible narration directions. Even with a multi arc tale like umineko, it would take a sizable amount of similar/clone arcs to have all possible perspective.
So I wonder how you can cope a clean cut story like one of agatha christie, which is basically "linear" to be plain.
