This is a tough one.

On one hand, i should set aside the english translation and try to judge the game on its own but on the other, the translation certainly has issues and i know approximately 5 words in mandarin. I've heard many people saying that it's got atrocious translation quality, almost as if done by a machine but i don't agree. Machine translation looks different and makes different kinds of mistakes.

Despite that, i never really felt any confusion about the sentences. But i definitely feel confused about the overall text and story and, apparently, i am not alone. I've seen some casual reviews by the people who liked the novel and it's pretty telling that the common notion tends to be "it's a very nice yuri novel, even if i don't really understand what's going on... and maybe for the better! ^_^".
It starts weird, it unravels weirdly and it ends even weirder. The ending heavily suggests it's just a part of a bigger series but as far as i understand the next game by the dev will not exactly be set in the same world, so it's not exactly a given that whatever happened here will be fully explained further on. And without that all you're left with is some pretty basic yuri stuff (i've never read a single yuri fanfic before but when i asked someone who has whether i'm right about this being "the most typical yuri there is" i was validated) with a pinch of cosmic horror out of nowhere.
