I'm a person that doesn't really attempt to try to figure out what's going on in story based things.
Doing this allows me to get the full impact of what the writers were trying to do, imo. If I want to solve something, then I'd play in an actual game (Such as the game Haguile made). Of course, I'm not saying solving the mysteries on your own is bad, it's just different from what I like to do when I'm reading something!
