I’m about to wrap up Higurashi ch.7 which means I’ll only have one chapter left (kind of). While I generally like it, sweet baby Oyashiro is this series overlong. I appreciate the characterization and whatnot that takes place before shit hits the fan every chapter, but there’s a slimmed down version of this that would be significantly easier to digest.
Having said that, I am still somewhat interested in Umineko.
How does it compare to Higurashi in terms of pacing? I imagine because it’s a made up of only two distinct chapters it would at least have more of a gradual build than Higurashi’s sine wave structure
