Besides saikoroshi all of these are actively bad. Saikorishi in itself is very short as well so I'd recommend just watching it on YT or something because it is worth reading and serves as a finale.
With friends like Hanyu, who needs enemies?
Saikoroshi is a fantastic epilogue story that feels feels rewarding after completing the main eight chapters of Higurashi. It completes Rika's character arc in ways the main series doesn't & is arguably a must-read, regardless of how much you want to invest into the other Rei stories to begin with.
Still-
After reading Saikoroshi, you'll probably remember...
230 hours of When They Cry and Saikoroshi-hen is the best thing r07 wrote.
