Difficulty question

I just started the book, and I noticed both part 1 and 2 start with a message about the difficulty of the "game". Is that supposed to be a joke or is it a warning about the gore level of the game? Or is it something else I will understand after reading more?

It's about the difficulty to understand the chapter's plot. I found that very funny because it often ended up being true for me, but maybe you will find some chapter easier or more difficult than expected.

I see, I wasn't expecting that. Is there really that much than can fly over your head during each episode that can possibly be noticed without knowing what it represents beforehand?
The plot of chapter 1 was easy to follow, even though there was no explaination whatsoever about anything. Was I supposed to make some great deduction based off of it?

The difficulty thing is about you being able to come up with a explanation regarding the chapter's plot, but you are reading a whole visual novel series, so the point is: can you really think about one theory that answers the plot of the entire series? If you think deeply, yeah, there really is that much to think about each chapter, specially when you read more of them. I don't know how many possibilities you thought regarding EP 1, but there is at least 3 possibilities about that plot. If you came up with just one explanation, think deeper. Even though if you have considered all of them, how can you prove one and disprove others? I think this is a good way to approach the series as you progress through the story. Despite you can really come up with an theory about each episode alone, remember that the entire series has 8 episodes, so probably there is a reason why it is not shorter.

You are not expected to deduce the entire plot now, however, you are expected to try it, as the writer says in one of the afterparties (and it's much better reading this way). As you probably know, Higurashi is divided in Question Arcs (EP 1-4) and Answer Arcs (EP 5-8). As you read and gather more information, you will be able to think in more possibilities. When you finish EP 4, I strongly recommend you to stop and try to elaborate a theory that can answer what you saw until then. Starting on EP 5 until EP 8, you will be slowly introduced to most of the answers.
