I think that from now on - I will share my thoughts experiencing this thing as someone who already watched that deen anime 2 years ago just because I didn't have the endurance for the VN back then and all I wanted is to get into Umineko asap...
The first hours gave me such a sweet nostalgic feeling of reading some long ass exposition, so I definitely felt that it was Ryukishi's "handwrite", but along with that it was super obvious that the chapter will become really entertaining even for someone who still remembers the highlights from the anime, and that alone convinced me that I won't regret anything for starting the VN, and let's be honest - if the story remains hella interesting eeeven if you have been spoiled on everything, it's a bold sign that you are reading a good thing.
