The best part of Somnium Files is talking to the characters as a detective. Change my mind.

I do like how Uchikoshi writes characters, but he tends to put them in these really wacky scenarios that tend to hinge on some very thin character (and sometimes plot) logic. Sometimes it feels like he makes things so convoluted in hopes that you just won't notice that little woopsie right there. This was true for the zero time delema series, and it's true for Somnium Files as well. How much you end up liking his stories hinges on how much you like the characters.
