Started off good then somehow became even more dull than higurashi
A life changing work, only held back by the fact that I disagree with some of its messages, and the author is a person with rather poor taste. The amount of efforts and honesty within it is something I have never seen in another fiction.
It is not a real game, but it is possible to have as much reflexion as one would allow, and ultimately, I rate it as a book.

This is the review of the entire Question Arcs.
Without love, it cannot be seen
I don't even know where to start...
Umineko has been on my radar for quite a while. Always at the most well ranked in game lists, a lot of good reviews and people i follow that claim it to be a masterpiece. But, the very long playtime always scared me because "it's a novel so i can't spent dozens of hours just reading, thats insane". I know i probably spent more time than this in text heavy jrpgs like persona or ffxiv, but i at least played something.
Than, a day I made a bet with a friend so I would read Higurashi and him Umineko, so we could explore this world of When They Cry and discover if it is all that. Of course, I am a game maniac, so i finished Higurashi before he even read 1 hour of Umineko and now i finished the Question Arcs.
Finally, the famous Umineko, did it live up the hype? Of course it did. Reading Ryukishi's first work in Higurashi and seeing now his universe being expanded is a really good feeling. I could see how much he grown as an author, and where he really shines. I will not lie that the first and second chapters of Question Arcs leave a lot to be desired, but the third and fourth made all that reading worth it.
I don't know how much more suffering i will have to endure next at the Answer Arcs (actually i know: A LOT), but I will be there and I am the one who will be crying, damn all these seagulls.
Just a quick note: Please, if you can, read Higurashi first, and all its universe like the manga sequel and extra chapter Rei. The experience will be far greater, trust me. It will be bad without it? Definitely not, but will sure enhance your experience, and not spoil A LOT of things from the previous series for you.
