there is a BJ scene if you choose wisely, and a few nude scenes, but the game is still relatively new, so thats it for now

Dissonance is objectively subpar to conventional literacy in general and for a very specific reason. It isn't the story or the characters or even the slower-than-slow progression of events, but the sheer abundance of circular conversation.
In the first hour alone there are multiple, and I'm talking, at least half a dozen instances of:
Person A: "You could've called me if you wanted to talk quickly"
Person B: "I wanted to talk quickly, which is why I didn't call."
Person A: "But if you wanted to talk quickly, you might as well have called."
Person B: "But then we wouldn't really be talking, and I just wanted to talk quickly"
And this ouroboros continues needlessly long.
This is horrible for so many reasons, but what makes it so much worse is that these circular conversations are triggered by unimportant aspects unrelated to the basic narrative level -- in short; "word salad".
To distinguish this feeling from other contemporary works, I can take LiL as an example. The reason it is easier to read Selebus' narrative tangents is because of just that; they are tangents related to the narrative. Even if the essays are long-winded and wordy, they are still narratively intertwined with the overarching plot, and thus provides perspective on stuff that matters to the story, which keeps the reader's interest. However, when Dissonance goes off on a tangent, it holds up and stalls the narrative we are looking to pursue.
If anyone is wondering why they feel tired when reading Dissonance, why even though they feel like they are hooked on the narrative itself, but still get the dreaded feeling of reading this to be a chore, redundancy in conversation is why. Dissonance makes every conversation feel like a slog because of poor dialogue that falls beneath the otherwise good narrative level.
I noticed the author actually liked the replied critique and seems to be responsive to his audience (which is more than can be said for others...). If this is the case, please recruit an editor or two who will just verbally read the script aloud, point out unnatural instances of redundancy in conversation, and cut them out. I promise that if this is done, the whole story will feel a lot faster and smoother in flow, and the people who are wondering why they feel as though they have to force themselves to read this otherwise great work of literature will feel far more liberated in doing so.

good luck with the game
The download links are updated to 0.9, but I guess whoever applied the update didn't change the version from 0.8 to 0.9. Also the patch files for 0.9 weren't added either, so I'll just put them here -

Yeah, I noticed this too, but I have way more faith in L_Elyot constructing a better, coherent plot. That other one really just went all over the place; this game is at least pretty connected (so far)

Ever since Marie IV explained to me what it was about the writing in this game that made it so laborious to read i cannot unsee it, my god, the scene where the sky cracks and Toru climbs the stairs of the shrine, circular circles circulating circularly, it's not just in the dialogue as they said, it's in the monologues as well, just saying the same freakin' thing 4 different ways before circling back to it for another round of 4 after a momentary tangent. Yeah, the sky is cracked, so go to the shrine, now, and shut up, just go there, go, now, to the shrine, ffs just go to the shrine so there's something worth reading on the screen.

Elyot's tendency to repeat himself is a meme 
He's getting better though
