Ultimately Ryukishi wanted to leave elements of the mystery and story not explicitly laid out so there was still room for theories even after he revealed the main strokes. It felt more like... a mansion rather than a room for theories. There's a difference between leaving some elements out to encourage more discussion, and leaving out so much that I came out sorely unsatisfied. In the beginning, say from episodes 1 - 3 or perhaps 4, it very much does look a mystery, albeit unconventional, so I have built up an expectation that most of it will be answered (doesn't help that Chiru is named 'Answer Arcs'). Episodes 5 and 6 didn't really help, but episode 7 did give me lots of useful clues and a feeling that it's finally heading in that direction after all. Then episode 8 happened and... yeah. I wouldn't say Ryukishi misled me or anything, I get that this is what he wanted to do. But it's not just for me. This is not to say I didn't enjoy the other parts of the VN. <cite>handsomeboy2012 posted [p:933911015] in Umineko pl...
