That would be because he's voices by a girl. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of Horie Yui as his voice actor, but I think she's done the role justice quite well so far.
It might seem a little jarring now, the VN is almost fully from Riki's perspective and he hasn't got much vice acting so I never really noticed it much, but its also very important in a way. Riki being the weakest and least manly of the group is necessary for various reasons.
I can see why some people wouldn't be sold on the first episode alone. Its basically verbatim to the game, but some of the, energy I guess, hasnt really communicated over as effectively. But this is just the beginning, getting the character introductions and the establishment of the driving force behind the common rote. The common is great fun once it gets established, but the real bread and butter of this series is the character arcs and the core mystery which should start coming into play very soon (technically it already has, but the significance of it wont be apparent till later, and no, I'm not talking about the first few seconds).
So, uhhh, stick with it lol.
