17 people and 1 furniture or corpse. 18 humans.
Regardless of this fun little banter, my own Umineko experience went like:
'Hey, this is kinda fun. No, Battler, it'd be more fun if magic does exist. Beatrice rules, Battles drools.
Hell yeah magic is awesome.' and then people were like 'No Raka you must deny the witches!' and then I was like 'what ever betrice can kick battlrs ass anytime hes just a dum red usirhomiya any way'
I always cheer for the fantasy side, despite blasphemous naysayers.
I rarely make theories and was mostly in it for the ride, although I did solve Nanjo's EP3 death pretty quickly.
