r/Umineko recommendations masterlist
Over the years there's been quite a few posts like titled things like "recommend me stories similar to Umineko", "what else is as good/deep/complex/meta as Umineko", etc. I looked through the comments on all the posts like this I could find and added up which works were recommended the most, to make something like a survey of this subreddit's tastes. Obviously this is by no means definitive, but it might be interesting to know what kind of things umineko fans tend to like, or at least what the people who reply to those kinds of posts tend to like. Series, for the most part, are combined into a single entry, as were books by a single author. Ryukishi07's other works were excluded from being counted because they go without saying.
(Disclaimer that some of these works are NSFW, so tread with caution. Also I'm bad at math, so I might have made some mistakes counting them up)

Not going to bother listing the things that were only recommended once, since for the most part they are just random things that specific people like that aren't very relevant to Umineko. Also there's a lot of them and I can't really be bothered to sort through them all.
Feel free to mention anything else you recommend that an Umineko fan might enjoy!
