The writing is great, just a tad repetitive sometimes, but most of them is on purpose and it shows. Not Mareni levels of complexity or poetic prose (it doesn't need to anyway, and EP7 had its share of that, theatrically), but his dominance of his own narrative and presentation is what makes him the superior writer.

The pacing is pretty fine considering the amount of content overall too. The only badly paced Episode is most likely EP4, and only for the sudden narrative shifts here and there, which were justifiable enough.

Arguably EP1's beginning too, in a minor scale, but that's more of an overly long multi character establishment that served its purpose to get you to know the fucking enourmous cast enough to suffer in the first 20+ hours episode).

In the Facebook group he posted a part of his theory.

Enjoy.

Duncan Sproat The shkanontrice interpretation of Ep 7 doesn't have/include love.
Love is GOD.
There are so many things to say but I'll start with this :
- a crime was commited and someone has to pay.
- everyone is put in purgatorio until they find the true culprit
-the problem is that everyone has to be saved in order to open the door to the golden land (aka Eden, aka Palace of Versailles)
- in order to solve this, they have to create a fake character who will play the role of "scapegoat" and be put in hell ----> Yasu = Jesus (sacrificing for the sinners)
-No one has to be the true culprit, Happy ending

That's what is said in Ep 7 + 8

Shannon=Kanon=Yasu was a hint toward the holy trinity and the fact that God is hidding a story.
God is sending his angels (St Bernard and Gabriel for the moment) to bring chaos and hide a fragile truth behind the several existing tales (Yasu is the culprit/ K and R are the culprit/ Eva is the culprit)

You better not read most of the classics in literature then. Mob Dick particularly will make you study marine biology for hours before it gets anywhere for example.

Les Miserables has descriptions to a fucking wall that take 3 pages long by the beginning of it too.

They are all considered masterpieces regardless. Learn to judge something as a whole instead of nitpicking a slow burn start. You are welcomed to drop the book if you so wish, but not to criticize the content as a whole just because of the small fragment you read and didn't enjoy.

The way you said it sounded like you just dropped at the first hours, dude. Or at the very least, stopped paying attention from there on.

Anyway, I also think the only poorly paced EP was the forth one, I didn't quite had issues with the storytelling of any other EPs outside that one.

The others got me actively thinking the whole time and trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle together in quite a bombastic fashion. I admit the music is one great thing that paired up amazingly well with the presentation overall, but to say the pacing was unbearable in any way to the point of you just chosing to read through for the OST alone is kinda ridiculous.

Don't seems like we read the same thing at all. Though I'm not one to judge someone's tempo be it for music or a book's flow.

If you find it dragging to your tastes, I guess tastes are tastes in that regard. Although I do find funny you said that about the later half of it, which is the one with the most intense shit and numerous revealings and twists happening every single chapter, almost.

If anything, most of the complains I hear about Chiru is that the pacing became at times too fast to keep track of -in fact, most of the rereaders of it notice a lot of narrative traps they didn't even bat an eye in the first reading, like Erika's unreliable perspective in EP5-

I started reading Umineko not that long ago because I wanted to read a good mystery story. I was enjoying Episode 1 for a while, however I got bothered about whether there might end up being actual supernatural shit in it rather than being a normal mystery, so I looked up a bunch of spoilers and honestly it all looks really ridiculous and stupid. It's a shame because I actually liked the characters and setting so far. I'm probably just going to find an actual mystery novel to read instead.

You dont trust every writer for everything, thats pointless. Where you absolutely have to trust the author though is when its a mystery, because the entire story revolves around it having a solution. If you dont trust the author of a mystery, that means youre not reading it as a mystery nor do you believe it has a solution.

If someone told you a riddle, you would automatically trust the person in its telling because you believe the riddle something to be solved. If you didnt, the riddle isnt a riddle at all, its just a random string of words that dont make sense.

Duncan Sproat The shkanontrice interpretation of Ep 7 doesn't have/include love.
Love is GOD.
There are so many things to say but I'll start with this :
- a crime was commited and someone has to pay.
- everyone is put in purgatorio until they find the true culprit
-the problem is that everyone has to be saved in order to open the door to the golden land (aka Eden, aka Palace of Versailles)
- in order to solve this, they have to create a fake character who will play the role of "scapegoat" and be put in hell ----> Yasu = Jesus (sacrificing for the sinners)
-No one has to be the true culprit, Happy ending

That's what is said in Ep 7 + 8

Shannon=Kanon=Yasu was a hint toward the holy trinity and the fact that God is hidding a story.
God is sending his angels (St Bernard and Gabriel for the moment) to bring chaos and hide a fragile truth behind the several existing tales (Yasu is the culprit/ K and R are the culprit/ Eva is the culprit)

The "real" Beato is an INFP like Yasu
Bern is still an INFJ like Rika even if she's a twisted cunt
Maria is too young, damaged, and autistic to type properly but I would learn towards ISFP.
Kanon is an ISTP
Shanon is the ISTJ
Virgilia is an ENFJ
Lambda is an ENTP/ENFP because her top function (Ne) recognizes and encourages latent Willpower (Ni)

Where's the best MBTI test to you? I understand there are innumerable online and, like any other psychometric test, they vary in question quality, result assessment, strategy, trait interpretation (and combinations thereof). And, as befalls psychometrics, most people's understanding is memetic nonsense, so I'm curious what test you prefer. Despite typing differently from Lambdadelta, willpower is the kernel of my philosophy and greatest pride, which exists energetically and axiomatically before philosophy, so obviously I can't resist asking.

>>19438803
Even the best tests are only about 50% accurate. You need to either trust you know yourself honestly or get others to type you. Learning the functions narrows it down to 2-3 usually. Willpower is expressed as Ni-Ne in the top or second slot. Ne is "multiple external metaphysical threads of wills/patterns" and Ni is "Internal will narrowed and focused into a singular expression"

They are the + and - of the same concept. Lambda has a handful of threads she explores and judges as good or shit and players with her favorites. Bern (or Rika) is the person holding the other end of a single string that represents her immovable cynical worldview where everything is reduced to kakera probability and her insistence that "miracles don't exist".

I usually test strongly INTJ (some of them include an assertive-turbulent scale (though it's dichotomous considering I always score 95-100 assertive) which has Ni atop the rest.

I'm actually very interested in this, and you make it out to have a satisying complexity. I agree with MBTI insofar as its utility in identifying character archetypes, which corporations do use to success (else they'd abandon it if it was unsound). I always explored the literary/philosophical and spiritual implications of Umineko, but I'm actually very attracted to what you've presented. Anyone who philosophizes needs the conviction to draw from all specimen, and not only other philosophers (this is why an astute analogy is universally intuitive). That means psychology especially. Would you discuss this more with me?

>> No.19438971

I'm no pro, and there is a lot of bad and psued info on MBTI that you have to outright ignore. Basically anything that isn't function-focused is outright wrong, except for fun stereotypes. Jung understood the delicate bridge between meta-existance and hard reality and the balance of both when he came up with his system before it was hijacked.

Actually, the opening of Umineko is one of the best ever written for a VN, and a great piece of literature in general. I'm not joking. Reread the first two hours.

It manages to introduce 18 characters with a good snippet of their personalities without ever drowning the reader in trivia. It's almost surprising how it is good. You are introduced first to George and his family, one by one, with their quirks in little and easily digestible snippets, and then to Battler and his family, and then to Maria and Rosa, all the very first part. Then when you have assimilated them and had some moments to properly get their characters, you are introduced to the second half of the cast one-by-one.

The opening of Umineko is absolutely great. I have never seen one so tightly written in a VN. It's truly good writing, which is very surprising coming from Ryukishi (which is a good storyteller, but not a good writer usually).

For those with magical ambitions: everyone should eventually read this:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/194Uc_W4nTMjJ6yzfV7WFVuY74zPhcivsam3EqijatXA/edit..

It's Wittgenstein's Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough, where he excoriated Frazer's barbaric views on religion while simultaneously eplicating magic as the end of metaphysics and religion, and that they are a form of magic. It's something I hark back to often in my magical studies, even in the Asian sphere. Let it be known that Remarks was originally a prelude to Philosophical Investigations, which draws from Schopenhauer's World as Will and Representation. So after Umineko, you would read Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein's Remarks then his Philosophical Investigations. They all build on and sublimate each other, and if you want a truly studied understanding of magic, these are crucial readings, especially for understanding Maria's role as an impending creator, in the production of your own grimoire (if you have an aptitude for it, in any case). The gestalt of these will guide you on its own, but you know where I took it.

Absolutely. We can start whenever you like. You should take some time to revise your understanding of Umineko and question even your most elemental paradigms, since that's an important essence of philosophizing, especially when we're voyaging to the outskirts of metaphysics to feel the final barrier.

>>19450323
I don't understand why you would be wary. In such a passionate fanbase around an almost literary work with many initially esoteric influences, people have an innate desire to integrate what the story teaches them better, and to learn best from any story requires too a skilled reader. This is for those impassioned students who found a draw to the universal and celestial where there was once nothing. And for those students, who've found something special in Umineko, I reward their willpower through some literary and philosophical guidance, because a lot of this is lost in history and because I love seeing people exact their will to catalyze immense personal and material shifts out of zero. There's nothing more heartful than the will.

The implications of the origins Beltane Festival - and as Wittgenstein says, the probability of the origins - disturb me.

It makes me think that those who are genuinely into the occult do do such things that /pol/ memes about. Human sacrifice, blood sacrifice, etc. For if one is has convinced one's self that magic exists - or perhaps even only partly convinced one's self - then the temptation to "escalate" a ceremony must be high.

I don't know /pol/ memes, and it's not about occultism anyway. Regardless of your philosophical position, there is no justification for human sacrifices or any other criminal act. Also, that's low magic/thaumaturgy, which is a far cry from the actual magic we find in these philosophers and their sage predecessors. It's in line with metaphysics first, but some occult principles are useful analogues for understanding the real magic. In fact, between philosophy, spirituality, literature, and occultism, occultism was always much more peripheral than the others, but it's useful for understanding the magic in Umineko. What you're afraid of isn't even related. Magic exists, but not as people, and especially purist occultists, think. But these are still all pivotal to a wholesome understanding of Umineko.

If that's what you truly believe, then fine, I apologize for speaking out of turn. Reading between the lines of Frazer, however, I can't help but feel the centerpiece is the cruelty of the "betrayal with a kiss" that the oatmeal cake ordeal involves.

It's for the posterity, and because I genuinely love willpower and fortitude (that's part of why I like Lambdadelta so much). This is actually a strong passion for me.

I wont say you aren't incorrect in theory, but in practice humans are pretty hard-wired to avoid causing harm or doing things with negative repercussion, even if only from a karmic standpoint.

Elevating ceremony to the levels you are imagining can and I supposed does happen but its incredibly rare considering the billions of people who study and practice the occult. I would also argue that someone ready to transcend the limits of humanity is prepared to use the taking of life and sacrifice as a tool of elevation even without the occult (which can provide structure and decorum). Something as crude as a spree shooting + a manifesto from the Supreme Gentleman is tapping into the kinds of forces you are shitting on occultism for.

I suppose I’m approaching it from a blunt perspective. If there is power in sacrifice, then the greater the sacrifice, the greater the power.

If occult believes the first axiom - that there is power derived from sacrifice - I just think deeper sacrifice is an inevitability.

Of course this is also the entire basis of Christianity, since what sacrifice is greater than God himself?

But I’m not into sacrifice of life. Of time and of effort, sure. Anything else seems distorted - unnecessary at best and flat out malicious at worst

And I view the Supreme Gentleman as a meaner, less successful Yasu, so no arguments from me there

Magical truths reflect universal ones. There is undoubtedly power in sacrifice, just look at how our world is set up? Powerful ripples are released from sacrificing life no matter the convention, its just how things are. The satanism scare of the 80s turned out to be a lot more about degenerate drug addicts who liked drawing edgy pentacles rather than any authentic type of occultist ritual.

I won't be disingenuous and pretend like things like O.N.A. don't exist, but even they have all sorts of rules and conditions for their extreme stuff like not targeting "innocents"and ritual murders are incredibly personal and secretive and are not self-perpetuating unlike someone who see an incel mow down his school and transcend the level of mere mortals after death thanks to the media and scale of the massacre.
