Metafiction attempts to erase the existence of its author, the authority of its fictional world, who is even analogous to God. What about Umineko?
When They Cry again, parts 5 & 6
This is probably bon voyage to Umineko’s live-reviewing. After EP8 comes the more classical full reviewing. Have a nice day. See you again.

Four days plus change of When they Cry, part 3
