Human Interpretation Keys request

[Darkmage2015]

I believe that while the Umineko teir Revision Remake thread has done a excellent job in classifing the teirs of the characters under the magic is real interpretation of Umineko, it has failed to recognise that the Magic is Tricks interpreation of the work is equally as valid, with the question of what is true being up to the reader. As such I would suggest adding a Human interpretation key, to the characters with a clear human interpretation counterpart, two in the case of Battler, to better make sure the pages represent the characters fully, although i do acknolege that they are unlikey to ever be used in a debate.

I don't think this is necessary, since the manga makes the trick ending—the non-fantasy interpretation—as non-canon.

Appologies I used the word Trick without consideration for that it is certainly true ange comes to accept magic, and the magic ending is cannon. I am more refering to the Magic/Anti magic interpretation of the work. Which does have an explanation of magic that it is just methods to deal with difficulties, take Ange's consoling of the child at the end of twilight in the magic end for example, she accepts magic and considers herself a witch, but there is nothing actually supernatural. Everyone appearing at the end is not literal but rather Tohya coming to peace with his memories and letting go of Battler fully.

I agree with this. Don’t worry, we’re going to include the human interpretations in the profiles too.
