My take:

Spoiler:

Though Hanyuu said that it was just a dream, I take it that the world Rika was in was definitely there. But even if it were Hanyuu playing a trick on Rika, it was indeed a pivotal one for Rika, on making her understand the importance of how one life is. Yet still, that IF possibility was very interesting!

So we're hopefully off to "Umineko no Naku Koroni" (temp title) for summer 2007 Comike. We shall see what Ryu-chan has in store for us.

I feel the same way.

Spoiler:

Actually, that view is also expressed in the Otukaresama-kai. I also get the feeling that Hanyuu did that to teach Rika a lesson about life, that she shouldn't have taken things for granted.

It was quite intresting to see the real identity of Frederica finally revealed. Actually, in the beginning when Frederica started to "take over", I was afraid that the story would end as "It was all Rika's imagination. In the "real world"(the one she's in) she is not happy while everyone else is, thus she created all these worlds in her mind, where everyone else is miserable...which is the real truth about Rika respawning"...maybe it could've went in that direction, but I probably would've been really disappointed if that really happened.

It was also very intresting with the contrast of Reina vs Rena. In both worlds, they both had very good reasons as to why Rika should stay in their respective worlds. For the people who have finishing reading Saikoroshi-hen, which world would you perfer?
