Am I the only one who finds the mysteries and their solutions disappointing?

Listen before downvoting my post: I love Umineko. I love the characters, I love the OST, I love a lot of the points about truth, trauma, coping, magic, etc. I'm writing this post with love (and a grain of salt).

Also, this post is not meant to criticize shkanonatrice or Sayo as a character. It's about the handling of the mysteries in general.

So, to get back to my point, when I finished the VN, I was frustrated. I engaged a lot in finding the solution, only to discover that a lot of the solutions are disappointing. For example:

- Episode 1, 2nd twilight. The truth is that there never were any chains blocking the door of Eva and Hideyoshi. There is no clever trick, just lies and conspiracy.
- Episode 1, 5th twilight. The whole incident is fabrication. Nobody died (Kanon only died metaphorically).
- The Episode 4 is basically just false accounts. Mysterywise it's the less interesting episode IMO.

Most of the mysteries hyped me and made me theorize. Take the 2nd twilight from episode 1. I was intrigued. Who drew the magic circle? When did that happen? Did the culprit act when Kanon and Genji were away? How did they act so fast? The frustrating thing is that none of that matters. They are just lies and distractions from Ryukishi. Because without those distractions, the mystery is not very interesting.

Also, the line between trickery and dishonesty is thin, and Ryukishi often steps on the dishonesty side. For example, this mystery relies on the fact that Genji (and to some extent, Kanon) is lying. You're gonna say: "Umineko is about unreliable narrators, that's the point" and I disagree. My favorite unreliable narrators stories (including Higurashi) are interesting because there is psychology in why the narrator is unreliable. Maybe they are in denial. Maybe they don't know they're biaised. Maybe they're twisting events in a favorable ways for themselves. It makes them more complex. In Umineko, it's just the adults who lying because they are paid for it. It doesn't add any development. It's just feels like a cheap plot device to me.

The fifth twilight of episode 1 is even more outrageous to me. When I see someone dead with a stake and blood, I want to trust the writer that someone really died. Not that this is a fabrication with fake blood. For me, this kind of trick is a breach in trust.

Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking that, I feel like I'm getting crazy

NB: to be honest, I loved some of the twists, such that Kinzo was dead from the beginning. I find some murders more compelling, like the 2nd twilight of Episode 2, because it conveys a lot development about the relationship between Kanon, Sayo and Shanon. But in general, I'm upset about the mysteries and their solutions.
