Just dropping by to let you know that Umineko is a romance. The ten commandments of Romance novels fit much better with Umineko than Knox. It gives a new meaning to what Beatrice meant when she said "it's a war between mystery and fantasy"

I'll just leave these here:http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/268817/the_ten_commandments_for_romance_authors.html?c
at=38

>I. Thou shalt make thy reader care about thy characters.
>II. Thou shalt create main characters who have logical reasons to like and trust each other as well as to dislike and distrust each other.
>III. Thou shalt keep thy main characters on stage, together, as much as possible.
>IV. Thou shalt not weasel away from conflict.
>V. Thou shalt make thy characters' problems emotionally involving for thy reader.
>VI. Thou shalt write love scenes which are appropriate to thy characters and thy plot.
>VII. Thou shalt maintain mystery for the reader.
>VIII. Thou shalt prefer straightforward narrative (don't use too many flashbacks it means).
>IX. Thou shalt make each character, episode, and scene do double duty.
>X. Thou shalt never forget thee has promised thy reader a fantasy.

>>VIII. Thou shalt prefer straightforward narrative (don't use too many flashbacks it means).

Does that count flash-forwards too, because EP4....

That applies to the first commandment because he had to give you a reason to care about Ange. VII doesn't forbid flashbacks. it just says don't use them ALL THE TIME or the reader won't care.

Well looks like Ryukishi failed these:
>I. Thou shalt make thy reader care about thy characters.
>II. Thou shalt create main characters who have logical reasons to like and trust each other as well as to dislike and distrust each other.
>V. Thou shalt make thy characters' problems emotionally involving for thy reader.

The link has descriptions for what the rules mean. Not all of them should be taken at face value.

That's your opinion man.

>Umineko is a romance.

[Anonymous No.]

Those sound like just regular rules on writing fiction in general.

>Umineko is a romance

No... shit?

The neat thing is Van Dine is appearing in episode 7. There is a code in the game for some guy named "Raito".

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958041
Then this begs one question, will Van Dine or his moe-moe personification be a bad enough dude to out troll Bern?

[Anonymous No.]

Actually most of those don't apply to Umineko. 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 don't.

> Raito
That could be "Wright"... but it could also be "Light".

JUST AS PLANNED

And in the episode 5 TIPS it's Wizard-hunting no ライト. Makes sense.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958041
Which episode first has this code? If it's 5, R07 might have originally planned to use Van Dine, but changed to Knox, and that's left over.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958132
The code is from episode 6

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958141
Well shit. Are we going to get 12 new rules?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958153
Van Dine had 20 rules. One of them is no romances and another was the servants can't be the culprit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4958187
The TIPS mentions the SSVD unit uses 12 spears/whatever the weapon stated was. So yeah, Ryukishi07 understands that he's already violated almost half of the Van Dine rules.

Third Umineko thread on the front page?

I'm okay with this.

Then why not bump it up, pal?

Considering most things do not even actually HAPPEN or are called in doubt,m half of these fail.
