Higurashi was what I considered the peak of fiction, and Ryukishi is able to surpass himself

It is overwhelming just trying to understand the amount of effort, dedication and love that one has to pour into a story to create something like Umineko, it blows my mind

I still prefer Higurashi tho, i think the highs are way higher, it is more memorable, and Maebara Keiichi is the undisputed GOAT (although Beatrice is almost as good)
