Umineko is a badly written mystery that tries to handwave away its bad writing by trying to label those critical of it as being focused on the wrong thing. It tells you to care about the "why" rather than the "how", but the truth is the answer to both of them are incredibly silly and contrived. The fact that it's so highly regarded among the VN community is proof that they are collectively pseuds. The novel itself basically begs you not to approach it critically. Higurashii was better and even that was full of goofy shit.
