If not, the meta-world thing is solvable.

Basically we all thought that Ange come from the third game since she is showed at the end of it and because Eva only return alive in it.

If you want to be really depressing and rageful, basically, without accepting magic, the only world of any importance is 1998. Episodes one through two were written by "Beatrice", the rest were written by some author who has no way of actually understanding what happened, despite claiming that she's reached the truth of the story. Ange exists, Amakusa exists, the rest are just fictional depictions of people that used to exist.

Except human Ange and Amakusa are characters in a story written by Featherine. Her story is based off of real events in Umineko though, namely: The Ushiromiya family died on Rokkenjima, and Ushiromiya Ange wasn't able to attend and was the only survivor.

No, Eva never returned back alive.

Episodes 1-2 were fictions written by Maria about how she interpreted the events that went down on Rokkenjima. The most important thing from the first two episodes is that -everyone died-

Featherine than picked up the story, and mixed in magic, made of Kakeras, meta-worlds, witches and the like. Supposedly so that her books would sell better. Episodes 3-6 are her just screwing around with what happened on the island, and Eva returning/Ange being some subplot that never actually happened.

Featherine is a creator level witch, she wrote episodes 3-6.
Maria is a creator level witch, she wrote episodes 1-2

Lambdadelta and Bern are voyager level witches, what could they be?
Lambdadelta and Bern both are "readers", that's why they are voyagers.
Lambdadelta is impartial, Bern is someone who try to solve the mystery.
Beatrice is of course the "mystery".

Personally I think there's only 1 world.
A world we didn't see yet, probably what will happen in the last game.
In this world the characters who survive are Eva for sure.
And probably Maria and maybe Battler.

Maria is the one sending the letters in episode 1 and 2.
And if you want a somewhat depressing but kinda uplifting ending, make Amakusa Battler.

The beginning of that story in 1998 is that Eva is on her death bed. Eva becoming the Ushiromiya family head was some story that Featherine cooked up.

Eva didn't return back alive, and because she's a background element of Ange's upbringing the whole Ange story can't exist.

Episodes 1 and 2 are the only episodes which contain some relative truth. They were written by Maria during the events of Rokkenjima and dropped in the water.

Think in one time line, think realistically. Everyone died on the island and Featherine comes along and picks up the two stories, decides it would make a great book series. She writes episodes 3-6.

In the real universe, Eva never came back, Featherine just wrote that story. Ange never had an aunt that came back. The only way that her story makes sense is that Featherine ran with the ending of her episode 3.

It's a VN about stage magicians. Think about it, magic can only exist in the shadows that the truth have illuminated. In every game, there's a possibility to explain everything without magic (or there wouldn't be a purpose to the games in the first place), so magic can only exist as an illusion before the real explanations are revealed. That's what being a stage magician is all about, working within the limits of our perception to create an illusion of the impossible.

Doesn't fucking matter. Again, think in terms of one world and one time line.

Reality: Two stories turn up, dubious origin, they have some weird fiction about what happened concerning the recent murder case of Rokkenjima. Everyone died on that island, and there is an orphaned child by the name of Ange.

Featherine comes along, finds those stories and thinks they would make a great book series. She writes episodes 3-6. In episode three she had Eva survive, and started writing about how the orphaned girl, Ange, life would have changed had Eva come back. And brings it back into her 4th through 6th episodes. Shit it sweet and touching. She includes herself in the 6th episode in order to further expand this whole idea of a Metaverse.

Course the vast majority of episode 1 and 2 didn't happen, it was some person writing some fiction about what happened concerning the murder case on Rokkenjima.

But again: Episodes 1-6 of the VN are episodes 1-6 written in the VN, get it? It's kind of mind bending. I'm going to try again and organize the events of the reality in Umineko.

Rokkenjima is subject to a mass murder, no one survives
-Two stories are fished out of the water, they contain some weird interpretation of what happened on the island. (These become episodes 1-2 of the VN)
-Featherine finds the two stories, does some research, and begins writing a book series based off of the stories found. (These are episodes 3-6 of the VN so far) In her first installment of the series based off of the two stories found she considers what it would be like if a family member had survived, writes about Eva living and how Ange's life would have changed. She expands quite a bit on the magic and metaverse described in the two stories that were found.
-As she continues the series she writes herself in as a character, describing how she found the stories and writes about her communicating with some of her fictional characters.

Goddamn, don't you get it yet? All episodes are bullshit, all characters are bullshit. We will never get a true recollection of events because in the Umineko universe's reality no one knows, the best that will be given is what the author, Featherine believes happened.

Yes, I'm saying exactly that. I've been saying that for awhile now. The Ange we see in the episodes is a fake, there is a real Ange in reality but her aunt never returned, she's probably a nobody and a sad child because all of her family died on Rokkenjima.

Featherine is a regular person, an author, and what we see in episodes 3-6 she wrote. She put herself in the story and did the whole magic thing of saying she was a powerful being, when she's just a writer.

If I'm getting the gist of this correctly:

The first two letters were signed by a person who called herself "Maria Ushiromiya", but did not share the actual person's handwriting. Instead, this letter writer had a handwriting similar to the person who called herself "Beatrice" in Maria's diary.

Featherinne picks up the truth behind the murders in these two letters, and writes four more stories based on the truth she found. In the meanwhile, she writes about a hypothetical future based upon one of her own stories, and continues inserting characters based upon their possible existence. She even inserts herself into the story, quite possibly as a form of research.

If that's all correct, then I can already see the ending.

I'd say this ends with "Beatrice" bringing the beatdown on "Featherinne" before revealing the entire truth to the public in a way that allows people to understand the circumstances. The story ends with her standing in front of Battler's grave telling him that his journey is finally over.

I see. So that's where the Author fits in. In my previous posts about this thing, I only analyzed this to the level of Beatrice and Battler fighting over the Rokkenjima Tale.

If Ryukishi wanted to comment on Truth, Fiction, and Mystery stories, why did he have to include this extra level of complexity though?

It's a strange feeling. I kinda knew this would happen, the clues were all there, but it feels wrong somehow. I don't think Ryukishi's writing skill is up to par to pull this shit off successfully. His audience was pretty damned satisfied with the Meta characters arguing about and abusing the mystery genre, and using literary concepts as weapons.

You guys are forgetting few things. Magic was proven to exist with gold text. Aurora's stories don't contain meta-world, she said that everything from meta-world really happened. All she wrote were scenarios for the game board, and game board only. Or even more, thay were scenarios of what really happened that were then twisted by Beartice by throwing in magic and demons. She don't have full control over Umineko world, she only makes game scenarios. That right was given to Battler in Ep. V and now handed to Bern.

I think the most important part of the 6th game is that the reader understands in its entirety and without misinterpretations what magic is about. The key-sentence is "Without love, it cannot be seen.", although I would replace that "love" with a less cheesy "blindness". (Love is blind.)
It is illogical to assume that Featherine is "bad" for she is in large sections a cameo of Ryukishi himself, so I doubt that all of this is a Red Herring.
