Were any of you faggots mystery/Christie fans BEFORE Umineko?

Personally, I read And Then There Were None years ago (six or seven). That's why I liked Umineko in the first place, until LOL MAGIC.

Pic related, although the game was mediocre compared to the novel.R

I'm still not a mystery fan even after Umineko. I liked Murder By Death, though.

I agree. None of that Holmes bullshit. Poirot is the best detective.

I read And Then There Were None when I was 13. And your belief that "LOL MAGIC" exists in Umineko just serves to prove you don't even know anything about the genre yourself.

>> No.6787069

I'm a pretty big mystery fan, and honestly the "LOL MAGIC" stuff made everything even better for me. It allowed R07 to deconstruct and analyze the genre on a deliciously savvy way.

I was Wargrave in a production of this a couple of years before Flandre happened.

Though, that's a superficial link at best. I was always more into science fiction for writing. I watched an awful lot of BBC productions of Holmes, Marple, and Poirot when I was younger, though.

Holmes was awesome because he was odd and didn't coexist with the rest of society perfectly.
Then again, he was kind of dick-ish because of it, naturally. But I wouldn't say that is why he was popular.

Sure I was. Personally my favourite detective is Ltn Columbo from the tv shows, although: he solves cases without mary sue powers or plot armor, but being witty as well and being able to study the suspect's reactions.

Also, he's a high tier troll.

Sherlock was hated by his author way more than Christie's Poirot.

Doyle tried to kill Holmes more than once in his novels, but the readers wanted to read only stories about him and so he was forced to resurrect it because of the popular demand.

Love Columbo series - the way he dress and talks, most characters looked down on him as if he was some low life dimwitt detective, only get spanked big time by the end. Gets bonus point for no techno bubble-fu as well.

I mean, come on, it was Touhou that made me read that book, not Umineko.

It's because he, differently from most of the regular detectives, he's an expert regarding the human soul.

He doesn't know anything about strange techniques, chemistry, duct tape, etc.
He doesn't know ju jitsu, and probably shoots quite badly.
He's just extremely good at spotting liars and has a particular intuition to spot logical fallacies.
Quite ironic: I believe that he would actually be one of the most fearsome enemies for a witch in Umineko, since he would naturally concentrate on everything they say instead of thinking about convoluted plots and methods to kill people.
Holmes would be immediately thinking "small bombs. It's possible, I can do that!"
