Edit: I just wanna add one more thing to this feedback
The writing style seems to be trying to bring in the humour in the comic style.
For example, the female lead thinks about how to make the servant see her as trustworthy, and she just outright says I AM VERY TRUSTWORTHY.
But this is a serious mistake.
Why do you think when adapting a comic into a movie, people don't give the actors blue, red, purple, and yellow hair like in the story? Because it doesn't fit.
Each genre has its own style of expression. With comics, its strength is expressed through images - images are what lead the story, it is expressed through each character's reaction through each frame, the expressions are also exaggerated to make the reader feel the humor. The comic's formula for creating humor cannot be applied to novels because the way of expression for the reader to perceive is fundamentally different. Unless the dev make game with the comic style like Lingering.

So far, the only 2 things I enjoy about the game are the divine Opening song and Somate's artwork. And please note that I didn't hold any expectation when I drive into this demo.
Most of my problem with the game already got feedback from the comments below:
-the overused joke
-plenty of words repeat like 6969 times which make me furious (subtly, cushion, ominous, wainscoting, serene, etc)
-unnecessary transitions make me dizzy and have to take headache medicine just for playing game
-the long pause at the LIs crotch 💀
-the characters keep change their facial expression which make then look un-human, robot-like rather than make them feel alive.
-THIS 👇
For the writing, I didn't realize it until my friend point out that it sound exactly like QT (machine translation tool to reading Chinese media such as novel). I only read writing by those who got QT-influenced in my mother language, not much in English, so I didn't realize it at first. But once it got point out, everything clicked.
For example: Hello your highness, goodbye your highness - or - I'm serene.
This really make me wonder if the writer are Chinese or an English speaker who heavy QT-influenced. Anyw, the point is it's didn't well match for ancient Western inspired game like this at all.
The characters feel un-intelligent, make it funny since they keep bragging about themself non-stop. And make it have like zero tension for a "murder(?) mystery" game. The narractor sound arrogant and look-down to the player - especially who self-insert (well, that how they sound like to me at least). The UI look like they fighting with the char/bg art, except the textbox.
And if there won't be any improvement / fixing the issue (at least the technical one) in the future, then I can't recommend this game. But you could always try the demo yourself to see if this is your cup of tea.
