Believe me I 100% plan to read it, I just don't know when exactly I'll get around to it. As of right now I'm more hooked on the No Game No Life light novels -- I'm on volume 5 right now -- mostly because the format of being an actual book is a lot easier for me to end up reading through the day while I'm at work during down time. As of right now I've got a blue collar job, so bringing a laptop or something with me for a VN isn't a good idea for multiple reasons. I'll probably pick it up when I get consistent opportunities to read it, or I might tackle it slower by reading a chapter or two in celebration of Watanagashi each year.

My love for Hanyuu has been pretty steadfast in just about every depiction I've seen of her, be it her normal depiction, her historical self in Hairyuun, or even that one arc in the manga where she lost it -- pardon my lack of knowing what that chapter is called but I'm pretty sure it was a manga only chapter. While I certainly wouldn't enjoy a "Hanyuu is the villain" theory, I'll definitely respect it if it can be substantiated; even if it's true, it isn't like it's impossible to love villains either. Looking at Higurashi, Takano was one of the closest things we had to a villain in the original story, and she was still plenty lovable in her own right, and looking at other media we can see characters like Sosuke Aizen from Bleach who is easily one of if not THE most popular character despite being a series big-bad.
My point is, I highly doubt anything can shake my passion for her, especially after so many years of emotional investment at this point. Knowing myself and my knack for detail in some cases, if I find that the theory is shakily substantiated, I could see myself defending her in an Ace Attorney or Umineko-like debate.
