...then you might like Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai add

Light novel adaptations about a pessimistic main character being brought to introspection and gradual change through solving mysteries. Both are heavy on words and rely on their script, but offer extremely high-quality visuals as a backing (Hyouka often visually portraying relevant information in creative and different ways, while Zaregoto relies on colourful and stylistic displays of surreal environments). While the mystery is what drives the plot for these two shows, their main focus is on the characters involved in them - Hyouka develops its cast slowly over a full season and has them change over time, while the shorter length of Zaregoto contrasts the main character's worldview with the distinctive and immediately recognisable personalities of the supporting cast.
