Have you considered the possibility that you're giving a pass on otherwise indefensible literary techniques because you did like it?

You do realize some of the most disappointed people are the core of the Author Theory camp, and a huge portion of the group that called this in the first place?
Ironic that you then launched into a discussion of rewriting history.

It existed by then. And I'm seeing significant cognitive dissonance if you can accept "there won't be answers" and "you can solve it with 1-4." If there's not an answer, how can anyone solve it? Disregarding that he lies in interviews for sales...

I don't know, maybe my existence is skewed to hell because all my favorite stories are stuff that rely on the userbase filling the blanks themselves, so Umineko's just sort of par for the course.

He mocked us for trying to do this,
after telling us to do it. He's acting like a child.

Or maybe I just subconsciously decided that the ride was so fucking awesome that Ryu's allowed a bungled ending, since he made such an epic story I'm not confidant on how he could conclude it much better.

He's good at some things. He was completely unable to close the deal. I'm not letting him off the hook for that. I know you and I disagree on a single fundamental sticking point though, so in terms of appreciation for the narrative we're always going to be shaky there.
Still, I'm not actually mad. Mad is when I PM you something that makes you stop speaking to me. I'm just passionate, like a swarthy matador.
