I really like Umineko, and that is the first thing that came to mind from this article. I gotta say the first episode (or was it the first two?) was rather off-putting for me because -- after a slow start -- it pretty much drags you through the mud with apparent fantasy elements that don't really seem to make any sense. I almost stopped reading. I'm still not entirely sure what to make out of the whole story, but I'm so glad I didn't stop at the first episode. Actually I feel like I should read it again now that I'm more accustomed to the logic. And yes it's a very long read. Estimates put it at around a million words. Right now the MG release is 40% off on GOG. https://www.gog.com/game/umineko_when_they_cry_question_arcs https://www.gog.com/game/umineko_when_they_cry_question_arcs https://www.gog.com/game/umineko_when_they_cry_answer_arcs https://www.gog.com/game/umineko_when_they_cry_answer_arcs
