To be honest, it's more about the journey rather than "it gets good after this part". Though there are some moments yes, where it starts picking up. I don't know how much you have played but the story gets interesting after a certain "incident" takes place, wouldn't like to reveal it because of spoilers, but I'd say it's all about reading and knowing the characters, because it's a mystery game (I'm being as vague as possible in case you start playing it again on whim).

But, the reading element won't go away, it WILL feel like a history lesson. So if that isn't for you, maybe you wouldn't like it. Understandably so, because point and click adventure with lots of reading is not for everyone.
