I never said that Higurashi's antogonist is better. I said that the structure and the way it was handled was better, even if it was still pretty weak. Having read Miotsukushi Omote now, I can definitely say it is a way better ending than Matsuribayashi.

It never says it officially, but it's clear where the effort and attention went. It would have been better to not include it at all considering how laughable it is.

This or maybe chapter 1 of Higanbana. Those are the two best for sure.

I haven't read RGD yet, but I really didn't like the pacing in Ciconia. It really felt all over the place between the zoomer discord chats and shoving all the tips to the end. Higanbana had decent pacing because it was a short story collection. Other than that, the best-paced thing I've read from him was Lucia's route in Rewrite, and who knows how much the editors at Key had to cut. Even then, there's the whole last hour of the route where Kotarou acts more retarded than he does pretty much the entire rest of the VN just to draw out the final confrontation at the mall. This isn't to say I don't like Ryukishi (I wouldn't be here if I hated the guy), but I think he really needs a good editor.
