Don't listen to the one angry stick up the ass basement dweller ranting in the comments.  

This story is absolutely badass.  The comedy, emotion, serious, and action are all properly tuned to their respective needs throughout it.

It's rare you get a solid mix of everything working beautifully together.  Story is cohesive and (as I have seen) doesn't contain any holes or inconsistencies.  Dialogue is smooth and naturally flowing throughout all characters and events.  Timetable and flow of passing situations and events are all properly handled.  You don't feel at many (if any) points that things are going too slow/fast or not making sense.

All involved characters, even side characters have a solid investment to the world building and main casts progression. The cast of Li's so far in these 6 chapters have been handled perfectly.  From lesser to mains, each one has an appropriate level of building, backstory, development with the MC and attachment to the story.  I have yet to see a single character where I wondered why they were there, or had to wonder "who" they were for any kind of relevancy. 

MC is quite expertly handled with a solid mix of personality and trauma.  Neither one overshadows the other or causes those jarring moments where you would want something handled in a different manner.  His traumas naturally affect the story in appropriate places while still allowing for signs of growth and connection, whereas his personality never feels too overbearing in the "super nice/smart/badass" tropes main characters tend to fall into.

Even the antagonists are pretty finely tuned.  You get a solid justification in their existence, reasoning for being the "bad guy" that makes sense, and sufficient reason for you yourself to dislike them, but are still given a real sense of humanity in the *why* of their position.

There is also a good amount of realization in the need for additional playthroughs as choices have a solid logic behind affecting future interactions and situations.  You'll begin to realize mistakes made, things to say or do differently for one character in how it affects another and so on.  Most of all so far, IT MAKES SENSE when those situations do come up.

Overall, excellent game and well worth playing through/following.
