Why does Like a Dragon: Ishin! freeze at 95% loading on Zhitai SSD?

I was so excited to experience the era's texture, but that turned to confusion when the loading bar froze at 95%. I tried increasing the system page file to 32GB, but this actually aggravated I/O conflicts and increased frame drop frequency, which was frustrating. I then used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to increase the depth from 32 to 128. RTSS verified loading time dropped from 12s to 5s, random reads hit 60-75 MB/s via GamePP tool, and temps were 42-48℃ per AIDA64.
